The essential message of Luke's version of the story of Jesus birth was its common touch. The author of Luke called upon the census of Quirinius to show that Joseph and Mary had to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem in difficult circumstances, during her pregnancy, and Jesus had to be born in a stable. Not kings or wise men, but poor shepherds came to worship Jesus. To the outside world there was nothing to suggest that Jesus was destined for greatness.
The essential message of Matthew's version of the story of Jesus birth was to draw parallels between his infancy and the Old Testament story of Joseph and Moses. First, he contradicts Luke when he tells us that Joseph's father was called Jacob, just as in the Old Testament. The king slaughtered the infants under two years old out of fear of Jesus, just as the Pharaoh had done out of fear of Moses. And just as Moses had gone on to save his people, so Jesus was destined to do.
The recipients of the Gospel of Matthew are primarily Jewish Christians. This is significant because the Gospel emphasizes Jesus as the fulfillment of Jewish prophecies and the Messiah promised in the Old Testament. The teachings and messages in the text are aimed at strengthening the faith of these Jewish Christians and showing how Jesus' life and teachings align with Jewish scripture.
The word gospel means "good news" which is the story of Jesus. The gospel is the story of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There can't be a gospel that does not have the story of Jesus in it unless in is an incorrect gospel. All of the gospel books in the KJV Bible - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - have the story of Jesus in them.
