The Gospels - Volume 4

The word gospel means “good news.” The four Gospels in the New Testament

tell the good news of Jesus’s birth, death, and resurrection. Matthew, Mark, Luke,

and John are not four different stories, but four different angles on the central

events of the Biggest Story. That’s why the books are not called the Gospel of

Matthew and the Gospel of Mark, as if they each had their own good news to

share, but the Gospel according to Matthew and the Gospel according to Mark.

The four books differ in their style, in their emphases, and in their outlines,

but not in the gospel they announce.

Here we meet—in flesh and blood—the long-awaited Prophet, Priest, and King.
