Happy New Year!!! We begin the new year with the first book in the New Testament. Fitting, isn’t it to start here?
Matthew is the first gospel written by one of Jesus’ twelve disciples and it was written between A.D. 50 and 70. The book of Matthew follows the genealogy of Jesus through Joseph and shows the prophesies of the Messiah’s coming in the Old Testament fulfilled through Jesus Christ.

This week’s book of the Bible is:
