The theme of judgment in Matthew is explored through contrasting perceptions of God, depicted as both a helper and a judge. Brendan Byrne highlights Jesus' role in alleviating humanity's burdens rather than exacerbating them. By selecting key passages, he offers interpretative methods that respect both Christian and Jewish perspectives, emphasizing a balanced understanding of judgment within the broader context of the Gospel. This approach invites readers to reconsider the weight of impending judgment and its implications for faith.
