The Gospel of Matthew presents a vivid portrayal of Jesus as the promised King, the Messiah who fulfills the Old Testament prophecies. Throughout the text, Matthew emphasizes Christ's royal lineage and divine authority, depicting Him as the ultimate king who brings the kingdom of heaven to earth. His teachings, miracles, and passion serve as a testament to His kingship, establishing a kingdom not defined by earthly power but by righteousness, justice, and love-defeating sin and death for all time.
