All the disciples knew their Bible, but they had not grasped that it was all about Jesus and God’s saving power revealed through Him—that all the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms reveal the good news of Jesus Christ. Once the disciples came to recognize this truth, Matthew takes it most seriously. He writes his Gospel with the premise that Jesus is the fulfillment of Jewish Scriptures. The Law, the Prophets and the Psalms contain prophecies about Jesus—prophecies in the form of promises about what Jesus would accomplish through His perfect life, perfect death and perfect resurrection. Journey with the author through the book of Matthew, and you will discover that all the Law, the Prophets and the Psalms are all about Him!

Elizabeth Viera Talbot was born in Argentina to the home of Adventist missionaries. Since her early childhood her parents instilled in her the love of Jesus and she always envisioned preaching and teaching as she gathered her dolls as an audience. After completing her Bachelors in music education, Elizabeth went on to work in the business world for many years in the accounting and managing departments. She earned a Master’s degree in Organizational Behavior at that time. During this period of approx. 15 years, she volunteered as a part-time youth pastor. She was invited to become a full-time minister which she gladly accepted as a call from God. She became a young adults/young families’ pastor and evangelist while earning her Master’s degree in Biblical studies and subsequent Ph.D. in the university of Gloucestershire, UK. She has enjoyed evangelism in many forms. Eventually she became a senior pastor for several years and an adjunct Biblical Studies Professor.
As the Speaker/Director of a Christian media ministry, Elizabeth is now fully living her “calling”: to lift up Jesus that He may draw all to HImself. Elizabeth’s main identity is her passion about the good news of Jesus Christ: “It’s like fire in my bones” she says, and she means it!
This is an amazing book. It reminded me of how Jesus is the center of the Bible. It also made me want to study the Old Testament and the Gospels more. A super encouraging book that showed me more of what Paul meant when he said, "For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." 2 Corinthians 2:2. Also, I'm so grateful that this book so accessible, being on the Jesus 101 app with an audiobook! Praise the Lord!
