Matthew Bible Study: Matthew 1

Posted byWord of Truth BlogPosted inBible StudyTags:, , , ,

Overview 

Matthew begins with the genealogy of Jesus.  I know it’s tempting to skip passages like this, but you really shouldn’t.  Everything in the Bible is important, even the “begats.”   After reading this study, I hope you will see the gems hidden in the first 17 verses of the gospel of Matthew. 

Here is a detailed outline of chapter 1:

  • Jesus’ Birth and Early Years
    • Genealogy (1:1-17)
    • Joseph’s Reaction to Mary’s Pregnancy (1:18-19)
    • An Angel Appears to Joseph (1:20-23)
    • Joseph Takes Mary as His Wife (1:24-25)

Chapter 1 of Matthew lays the foundation for the entire book.  It immediately establishes the fact that through His genealogy, Jesus is the promised Messiah.
