Matthew writes this Gospel to reveal Jesus as the promised Messiah and King. He also tells us much about the life and ministry of Jesus, especially how he fulfills the promises of the Old Testament and how his followers should conduct their lives as citizens of God's kingdom. Matthew begins this Gospel with the birth of Jesus, who is called "Immanuel" or "God with us" (Matt. 1:23). He closes his story with Jesus' reassuring promise, "I am with you always" (Matt. 28:20).
