Gospel

The Gospel of Peter is obviously not found in the New Testament or in any other part of the Bible for that matter. This is for both obvious reasons and likely some reasons we do not know. When deciding what Gospels to include in the New Testament the religion leaders of the time chose not to include Peter’s Gospel. Scholars recently discovered this after finding Peter’s Gospel someplace in Egypt. Scholars found that Peter reserved a large portion of his story to describe story of Jesus’s death…

The point of the gospels is to learn about Jesus Christ and his word of God that he delivers to people in hopes they will learn to become faithful, decent followers of God. Specifically, “Luke’s narrative of the story of Jesus can be summarized as the human life and message of the Son of God. In view of the disciples’ association with Jesus, it can also be seen as the human life and message of those who share in his divine sonship” (LaVerdiere 62). Luke’s Gospel was conceived in a time after…

Within the New Testament, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John work together to give accounts of the life of Jesus; Mark, though, uniquely focuses on Jesus as God. Each of these gospels give an insight into the life of Christ from their perspective. Each of the authors was moved by the Holy Spirit to write their thoughts down onto paper. Each one of these authors had the, “primary purpose…to present the gospel message and call people to faith” (Elwell & Yarbrough, 2013, p. 57). They…

The Gospel of Luke was written in the mid-80’s AD in Corinth. It is the longest of the 4 gospels in the bible, and was possibly written by a woman who attributed it to Luke. Gospels are formed in three main stages. The first stage of the gospel development is the life and teachings of Jesus as he travelled through the country speaking, teaching, performing miracles and healing, which happened in the late 20’s AD. The second stage is about the post-resurrectional teachings by the apostles, and…

The Gospel of John is one of four gospels in the Holy Bible and is the fourth book in chronological order presented in the New Testament. The Gospel of John is a unique perspective of the life of Jesus Christ. "In the beginning was the Word (Jesus Christ), and the word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God" (John 1:1-2). John begins his Gospel with Jesus in a way none of the synoptic gospels had. His version of Jesus began at the same time as God, compared to…

comes to the Gospel of Matthew, there are very different perspectives when it comes to Jesus. At the time of Matthew writing his gospels, his main focus was on mainly to provide people who were in a sense “like him” to hear the great news when it came to Jesus. One of Matthews main purposes was to be able to provide everyone and anyone who wanted to listen the story of how Jesus lived, died, and then brought back; this is why the Gospel of Matthew is a matter of fact called the Gospel “according…

The purpose of the Gospels was to show how Jesus had a purpose for each people group, and how Jesus' love was reflected to each of the Gospel people groups. Matthew's Gospel was a linear Gospel in a sense that it reflected the OT and fulfilled the new testament. The prophesies from OT are directly shown through the gospel of Matthew. This book was written in 60s A.D. Mark is often overlooked because it is the shortest Gospel, and it also doesn't have the same stories that Matthew's book does.…

The Gospel of Matthew tells of the story of Jesus's role in the fulfillment of the old prophecy / testament from Isaiah. The author of The Gospel of Matthew begins my informing the readers how Jesus is descended from the line of King David and Abraham. This shows that Jesus is not only a king but the Messiah they’ve all been waiting for. In the book it proceeds to tell of Jesus’s teachings providing even more evidence that he’s as great of a teacher than that of Moses. In the book it talks about…

Jesus’ ethics and morals are still crystallised for Christians today by a virtue of the gospel of Matthew, along with the other synoptic gospels, revealing a deeper understating of the portrayal of Jesus. Mathew’s Gospel is written to mainly satisfy the Jewish beliefs, this may differ to the other synoptic gospels as they all had a specific structure and style of writing to portray Jesus depending on their audience and time. Matthew’s representations of Jesus as being a teacher, a fulfiller of…

Different people interrupt the gospel differently. There is a small group of pastor who believe in prosperity gospel teaching. This is the idea where if you donate money to the church, God will reward you later with good fortune. This idea sound great. However certain people have had negative situation with this belief. One person gives money to the church instead of buying her medication and ultimately lost her life. The lists on similar situation happen daily. Some may be thinking does…
