What I love about Matthew is how many times he annotated his account with "...this fulfilled the what the prophets said concerning the Messiah." Even better, having a Bible with footnotes citing the passages he was referring to. I remember in high school, in one class, we had to calculate the probability that one person could fulfill all the Hebrew Scriptures Messianic prophecies, and I think it was something like .00000025% or something. Meaning, only super-natural pre-ordination could make it happen. Very cool.
I also found that I am much more successful at really getting something out of my reading when I don't look at the news first. Shocker, I know. But good to keep in mind.
