The symbol for Saint Matthew is not specifically the human manifestation of Jesus. Rather, it is just a generic man. This symbol is given Matthew because of the way he opens his Gospel narration; each evangelist is given such a symbol. Matthew's is a man because he begins his Gospel with the human geneology of Christ, tracing His ancestry through the ancestral familial line of men before Him thus establishing His human birth rights and legitimacy among the Jewish nation.
