F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 1:18-25

the Birth of Jesus Christ Matthew 1:18-25 The fear that Joseph, being a just man, might withdraw from their contemplated wedlock, would have filled Mary’s heart with untold anguish had she not been upheld by her faith in God. She felt that He was pledged to vindicate her character. Yield yourself to Him for His purposes and leave Him to deal with any contingent results! He becomes responsible! That which happened historically must take place experimentally. In each of us Jesus Christ must be... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 1:1-25

The Gospel of Matthew portrays Jesus as King. It reveals Him as realizing in His Person, and enunciating in His teaching the great principles which had been the peculiar deposit and glory of the ancient people. They were created a nation for the revelation of the beauty and beneficence of the Kingdom of Heaven established on earth, and in this Gospel the King is seen and heard, enunciating its laws, distributing its benefits, and laying its foundations in His life and death. The first verse... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 1:16-25

The Christmas Message Matthew 1:16-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We here present one of the great omissions of the Bible, which constitutes one of the great proofs that Christ was virgin born. The earlier verses of the first chapter of Matthew present the genealogy of Joseph, and husband of Mary of whom was born Jesus who is called the Christ. 1. Since Joseph was not the father of Jesus, why was it necessary for God the Spirit to give us the details of his genealogy? It was for this cause: Joseph,... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 1:18-25

TWO GREAT TRUTHS‘Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise … He called His Name Jesus.’ Matthew 1:18-Lamentations : The verses (18 to 25) begin by telling us two great truths. They tell us how the Lord Jesus Christ took our nature upon Him, and became man. They tell us also that His birth was miraculous: His mother Mary was a virgin. I. A great mystery.—These are very mysterious subjects. They are depths which we have no line to fathom: they are truths which we have not mind enough to... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 1:21

PENALTY PAID, POWER CRUSHED‘Thou shalt call His name Jesus; for He shall save His people from their sins.’ Matthew 1:21 The name above every name—‘Jesus,’ Saviour; a name sounding like music in our ears, and of the deepest significance. I. Who are ‘His people’?—His people are those who are given to Him of the Father, or those who are willing to be saved from their sins. Or again, those who, having come to Him by faith, are made one with Him by the possession of a common Spirit. II. What does... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 1:23

THE DIVINE PRESENCE‘They shall call His Name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.’ Matthew 1:23 This glorious statement is made on the basis of a glorious prophecy which Isaiah uttered at an important era in Jewish history ( Isaiah 7:14). The name of Jesus was exceedingly wonderful—‘Emmanuel,’ ‘God with us.’ I. With us in human form.—This is a mystery which no created mind can explain; yet it is no myth soever: it is a fact as sublime as it is mysterious. ‘Without controversy... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:18-25

SECTION 2. THE BIRTH AND RISE OF JESUS THE MESSIAH (THE CHRIST) (1:18-4:25). In this section, following the introduction, Matthew reveals the greatness of Jesus the Christ. He will now describe the unique birth of Jesus, the homage paid to Him by important Gentiles, His exile and protection in Egypt followed by His subsequent bringing forth out of Egypt to reside in lowly Nazareth, His being drenched with the Holy Spirit as God’s beloved Son and Servant, His temptations in the wilderness which... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:21

“And she will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS, for it is he who will save his people from their sins.” Mary is to bear a son and His name is to be called Ye-sus, ‘YHWH is salvation’, for he will save His people from their sins. We can compare here Psalms 130:8, where it is said, ‘and He (YHWH) shall redeem Israel from all her iniquities’. So Jesus is to act on behalf of YHWH as a Saviour. As in Luke the emphasis is on a Saviour acting on behalf of God the Saviour (compare... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 1:22

‘Now all this is come about that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,’ Here we have the first prophetic formula, and yet this one shares its uniqueness with one other, for it is only here and in Matthew 2:15 that it is said to be ‘spoken by the Lord’. Matthew is very careful in his use of formulae (see introduction), and while he is quoting Isaiah here he does not mention his name. The mention of Isaiah’s name is reserved for a special section of... read more
