NEW TESTAMENT GOSPELS

The four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, document the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. These accounts of Jesus were written to share the Good News that through His death on the cross, Jesus provided a way for people to be reconciled with God and have eternal life. The Gospels encourage readers to place their faith in Christ as the Son of God to experience the freedom, grace, and love that God offers.  

Each Gospel focuses on a different aspect of Jesus, who was both a humble servant and powerful ruler while simultaneously being fully human and fully divine. Matthew focuses on Jesus as a King, Mark focuses on Jesus as a servant, Luke focuses on Jesus as man, and John focuses on Jesus as God. Another aspect that makes each Gospel unique is their intended audience. Each narrative of Jesus was written to share with a specific group of people, which influences the tone of focus of each account.
