Introduction to Matthew
Let us now consider the Gospel by Matthew. This Gospel sets Christ before
us in the character of the Son of David and of Abraham, that is to say, in
connection with the promises made to Israel, but presents Him withal as
Emmanuel, Jehovah the Saviour, for such the Christ was. It is He who, being
received, should have accomplished the promises (and hereafter He will do
so) in favour of this beloved people. This Gospel is in fact the history of
His rejection by the people, and consequently that of the condemnation of
the people themselves, so far as their responsibility was concerned (for
the counsels of God cannot fail), and the substitution of that which God
was going to bring in according to His purpose.
In proportion as the character of the King and of the kingdom develops
itself, and arouses the attention of the leaders of the people, they oppose
it, and deprive themselves, as well as the people who follow them, of all
the blessings connected with the presence of the Messiah. The Lord declares
to them the consequences of this, and shews His disciples the position of
the kingdom which should be set up on the earth after His rejection, and
also the glories which should result from it to Himself and to His people
with Him. And in His Person, and as regards His work, the foundation of the
assembly also is revealed-the church as built by Himself. In a word,
consequent on His rejection by Israel, first the kingdom as it exists now
is revealed (chap. 13), then the church (chap. 16), and then the kingdom in
the glory (chap. 17).
At length, after His resurrection, a new commission, addressed to all
nations, is given to the apostles sent out by Jesus as risen.

that was near Damascus.
