An Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount

Más información sobre el libro

Set against the backdrop of a 400-year silence following Malachi, the Gospel of Matthew reintroduces the divine narrative by presenting Christ as the fulfillment of Old Testament promises. During this period, Israel experienced a lack of prophetic voice and divine intervention, leading to a faithful remnant eagerly awaiting the Messiah. Matthew emphasizes this connection by frequently using the term "fulfilled" and incorporating numerous Old Testament quotations, highlighting Jesus' role in completing God's promises to His people.
