Topics
马太福音开篇的家谱并非简单的名字罗列，而是展现了耶稣基督的王权血统，其中提到的四位女性（Tamar, Ruth, Bathsheba, Mary）都经历了破碎，却预示着耶稣的救赎计划。耶稣的诞生是圣灵的作为，约瑟面临道德困境，最终遵从天使的指示，成为耶稣的养父。东方博士来朝拜耶稣，献上的礼物象征着耶稣的王权、祭司身份和死亡。希律王屠杀伯利恒婴孩的事件应验了先知的预言。施洗约翰的布道预示着天国的临近，耶稣受洗时，圣灵降临，天父的声音宣告耶稣是爱子。耶稣在旷野受试探，展现了对上帝的顺服。耶稣开始在加利利传道，呼召门徒，医治病人，他的事工标志着天国的临近。耶稣选择在加利利北部（Zebulun和Naphtali）传道，具有象征意义，代表着对被摧毁地区的重建。耶稣的传道和呼召门徒，标志着天国的建立和重建以色列十二支派。耶稣邀请我们悔改，加入他的国度，这需要上帝的恩典。
