The importance of the Gospel of Matthew in church history cannot be
overstated. For Jewish readers, it affirmed the Messiahship of
Jesus, referring consistently to the Scriptures to establish his
credentials. For Gentile disciples, it provided powerful and
dramatic support of their inclusion in God s kingdom. The cross of
Christ had removed the division between Jew and non-Jew, and
through Matthew s writings, we see Israel s God drawing the entire
world to himself through Jesus. The Gospel according to Matthew . .
. Was the most widely read and frequently used of any of the four
Gospels in the formative years of the church, writes Michael
Wilkins. In this volume of the NIV Application Commentary, Wilkins
explains Matthew s broad appeal not only to his ancient readers,
but also to us today. Exploring the links between the Bible and our
own times, Wilkins shares perspectives on Matthew s Gospel that
reveal its enduring relevance for our twenty-first-century lives.
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to
the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we
can somehow make the return journey on our own. They focus on the
original meaning of the passage but don t discuss its contemporary
application. The information they offer is valuable---but the job
is only half done The NIV Application Commentary Series helps bring
both halves of the interpretive task together. This unique,
award-winning series shows readers how to bring an ancient message
into our present-day context. It explains not only what the Bible
meant but also how it speaks powerfully today. This series promises
to become an indispensable tool for every pastor and teacher who
seeks to make the Bible's timeless message speak to this
generation. Billy Graham It takes more than interpretation of God's
Word to change lives, it takes application. Application is the
bottom line in preaching and teaching. Without it, we've missed the
point of the Bible. The NIV Application Commentary is an
outstanding resource for pastors and anyone else who is serious
about developing doers of the Word. Rick Warren, Pastor Saddleback
