I was unaware at the fact of the audience being Jewish. He is viewed as the long waiting Messiah. I was unaware of the audience and view of him from Matthew. This gospel is not the way I viewed Jesus because within this Gospel there are teachings of the Tora, the book of the Jewish. It does not make me uncomfortable that Matthew portrays Jesus as Jewish, but makes me wonder why so much. I had the vision of Jesus as a Christian divine human also God figure. Reading Matthew and the first line, “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham” (Matthew 1:1) has created a thought in my head as to why Matthew is the only Gospel to focus on Jesus’ Jewish background and audience
