MATTHEW- GOSPEL OF IDENTITY - MICHAEL CARD

Discover who you are in Christ through the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew 5:13-14 reminds us, “You are the salt of the earth . . . You are the light of the world.” And in Matthew 16:18, Jesus affirms Peter’s role in building the church. But who are we really? In a world that defines us in countless ways, how does God define us?

The Gospel of Matthew was written to early Jewish believers who were discovering their identity in Christ. As faithful members of the synagogue in Galilee, they encountered the Messiah, and everything changed. Were they still Jewish, or were they now something new? Michael Card explores Matthew’s message, revealing how Jesus fulfills their connection to the Torah while inviting them into a new life in His kingdom. Through Matthew’s words, readers are invited to see how Christ redefines our identity, helping us understand who we are meant to be in Him.
