Chapter 3 verses 16 through 21 of the Gospel of John take a moment to explain the major question: Why did God send Jesus to earth? According to John‚ who may actually be a variety of authors‚ God sent God’s only son here to die out of pure love for humanity and the world God created‚ proof that all believers would forever belong to the kingdom of the Lord. John clarifies that Jesus actually is not here to condemn anyone‚ rather‚ he is here to bring salvation to the people of the earth. There is a

The Four Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament know as Matthew‚ Mark‚ Luke and John. The term gospel comes from the Greek word euaggelion or “good news.” These four books are not just historical accounts‚ but announcement that Jesus Christ is the Messiah of Israel and the true king of the world. This “good news” was that Jesus brought the reign of God to the whole world‚ through his life‚ death and resurrection. By expertly weaving Old Testament prophetic fulfillment into the

The Gospel of John‚ written by an anonymous author in approximately 95 CE‚ is often attributed to John‚ the son of Zebedee‚ who was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus in the New Testament. According to scholars‚ several sources were used for this narrative‚ including a signs source‚ which recorded the signs that Jesus performed‚ a discourse source‚ which recorded Jesus’ speeches‚ and a Passion source‚ which recorded the crucifixion of Jesus (Ehrman 181). In addition to these sources‚ the author

The Synoptic Gospels INTRODUCTION For centuries‚ the subject of synoptic gospels had fascinated Bible scholars and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. This is because the account of the life and work of the greatest Man in history cannot but elicit both religious and scholarly actions and reactions as man tries to find the meaning to his fleeting existence on earth. As Richard Bauckham puts it‚ this is all “…a matter of seemingly endless interest to believers‚ half-believers‚ ex-believers

1. The writer of Luke’s Gospel is Luke. Luke was a Gentile Christian who may have been a disciple of Paul. Luke was a Physician (Colossians 4:14). Luke was also the author of the book of Acts. I chose this particular Gospel because of Luke’s genealogy of Jesus and how he was the Son of God. I also chose this Gospel because of Luke’s accounts from Jesus’ mother Mary and other accounts from women to provide more detail on Jesus’ life. 2. The basic structure of Luke’s Gospel is fairly chronological

The Four Gospels The word ’gospel’ means good news. There are four gospel accounts in the New Testament: Matthew‚ Mark‚ Luke and John. The first three gospels are sometimes called the ’synoptic’ (same view) gospels. This is because they each cover teaching and miracles by Jesus that are also covered in another account. John‚ writing later‚ recounts Jesus’ other words and miracles that have a particular spiritual meaning. All four gospels present Jesus as both the Son of God and son of man. They
