In this first episode of our four-part Christmas series, we explore how Matthew introduces Jesus through His genealogy, birth narrative, and the flight to Egypt. We talk through Matthew’s rich use of the Old Testament and how he presents Jesus as the promised king from David’s line who brings Abraham’s blessing to all nations. Ultimately, this episode highlights Matthew’s portrait of Jesus as the Son of God, God with us, who has come to save His people—and the whole world—from spiritual exile.
