Jesus: The Four Gospels Of The New Testament

The four Gospels of the New Testament portray Jesus very humanly. They are biographies of Jesus’ life from Nazareth to Bethlehem. The purpose of the Gospels is to share the news of Jesus, His birth, His life, His teachings, His death, and His resurrection. Within all four Gospels, He is portrayed as many leaders, kings, and saviors, although, after reading all four, He is one with all, He is Christ. Three of the four Gospels are considered to be the synoptic gospels, because in the end they paint Jesus very similarly. To start with the beginning, Matthew is an interesting gospel in my point of view. It is towa220rds and audience for the Jewish community, as all the others are not. Mark, the first gospel written, second in order, was written towards Romans. He focuses on Jesus living as a servant toward His older age days. He details his suffering and how He died for us. Luke is the third Gospel of the books, and is descriptive of Jesus’ life. Approaches details of history, kings, and places of Jesus’ life. Lastly, John, was different from the first three books of the Gospel. He wrote his gospel decades after the first, and focused more as Jesus’ life more as the Devine Savior. …show more content…
I was unaware at the fact of the audience being Jewish. He is viewed as the long waiting Messiah. I was unaware of the audience and view of him from Matthew. This gospel is not the way I viewed Jesus because within this Gospel there are teachings of the Tora, the book of the Jewish. It does not make me uncomfortable that Matthew portrays Jesus as Jewish, but makes me wonder why so much. I had the vision of Jesus as a Christian divine human also God figure. Reading Matthew and the first line, “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham” (Matthew 1:1) has created a thought in my head as to why Matthew is the only Gospel to focus on Jesus’ Jewish background and audience
