Gospel means "good news." Matthew tells the good news that Jesus Christ has come. Many years earlier, the prophets had said he would come. God had promised to send someone to save people from their sins. The Jews called that person the Messiah. Matthew wrote to the Jews to tell them that Jesus is the Messiah. Matthew quoted many Old Testament verses. He said they came true in Jesus' life. Jesus is also a great teacher. Matthew wrote down many of the things Jesus said. Jesus told people about his kingdom. He taught people how to live in his kingdom.
