At the time that Matthew wrote his Gospel, the early church was on its own, no longer a part of the Jewish community and therefore no longer observing the daily norms and customs of that religious tradition. The community needed guidelines for its life together and throughout his Gospel, Matthew portrays Jesus as a community builder instructing his disciples on matters that emphasize and focus on the community of believers.
