Audio Book On the Gospel by Matthew 1-2

On the Gospel by Matthew. J. G. Bellett. Section 3 of The Evangelists, being Meditations upon the Four Gospels. (New Edition, Rouse, 1903) Part 1. — Matthew 1 to 2 Part 2. — Matthew 3 to 20 Part 3. — Matthew 21 to 25 Part 4. — Matthew 26 to 28 In this Gospel, our Lord Jesus Christ is eminently and characteristically in connection with the Jew. It is very fitting that this should be so; that is, that the New Testament should open with a formal presentation of the Lord to Israel. The way of God in the earth had contracted itself to that nation; or rather, He had separated that nation to Himself to be His center around which to gather all the nations in light, allegiance, and worship. For this is His way; bright and perfect as such must be. There is separation, and yet largeness: separation because He is holy; largeness because He is gracious.
