Get more out of your bible study times with these insights from the Spirit of Prophecy for the Sabbath School Lessons.

Much like Mark, Luke, and John do, Matthew tells the story of Jesus’ life as a human: His death, His return to life, and His return to heaven. But Matthew also focuses strongly on the fact that Jesus is the Promised Messiah (Chosen Leader) sent from heaven. Matthew wanted his readers to know that Israel’s salvation depended on Jesus. Jesus was the One of whom the prophets spoke and to whom all the Old Testament types (symbols) pointed.
