The Gospel of Matthew focuses on the reign of God, or the kingdom of heaven, and God's call to reform our lives. The Gospel of Matthew is renowned for its clear and organized explanations of Jesus' life and teachings. Matthew's Gospel is the most often quoted, simply because here, more than any other place in the Bible, the words of Jesus Christ appear in clear and understandable language. In Matthew's Gospel we hear Jesus' call to repent and make way for the "kingdom of heaven"—not just in the afterlife but in our lives today, in our own time and place.
