Matthew concludes his nativity narrative with the wicked responses of Herod and the simple obedience of Joseph to the word of God. Three times, God directs Joseph through a dream and three times Matthew reminds his readers that God is fulfilling his word and accomplishing his plan. You can trust God to accomplish his plan in your life as well! As believers, we must trust and follow the direction of God through his word!

Matthew writes his gospel to prove that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the King and the Son of David. Jesus is bringing the Kingdom of God and is the fulfillment of the promised deliverance to both Jews and Gentiles. Throughout his gospel, Matthew offers numerous themes and emphasis, but six stand out: Christology, Fulfillment, Righteousness, Discipleship, the Church and Eschatology.
