Summary: <p>In the very first verse of the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew raises a question that looms over the entire story: Whose son is Jesus and what kind of messiah will he be? How does Jesus relate to David? Why the mention of Abraham? Will the reign of Jesus prove to be different than the reign of David? How does the genealogy of Jesus differ from other genealogies in the Old Testament?</p> <p>Richard and Fr. Marc begin their discussion of the Gospel of Mathew with a review of Matthew 1:1. </p> <p>Episode 220 Matthew 1:1; Subscribe: http://feedpress.me/the-bible-as-literature; “Egmont Overture Finale” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com (http://incompetech.com/)) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http:// creativecommons .org/ licenses /by/3.0/</p>
