Matthew, a tax collector disliked by many people, was chosen by Jesus to be his apostle. He was one of the unlikeliest of men to be chosen but was nevertheless faithful in this important role. Matthew gives us an eye-witness account of the events in the life of Jesus. This apostle’s main goal is to prove to the Jews that Jesus Christ their long-awaited Messiah. Open your hearts and ears as the truth is revealed to you through the Gospel of Matthew.
