The 4 Gospels and their Themes

The 4 Gospels and their ThemesThe authors of the four church doctrines in the Bible had a specific collection of people they wrote to and in this assignment I am going to musical note at those specific people and what the authors said about the life and work of savior. I am going to also going to look at the main themes of these four gospels, beginning from Matthew to conjuring trick.The author of the allow of Matthew is the Apostle Matthew who was one of the Nazarene disciples. The gospel of Matthew was written in Greek. The author wrote to a particular group of people mainly Greek speaking Jews, even though the author wrote to certain group of people the writing does have a worldwide outlook. Matthew change state more on the fulfilment of the Old Testament than the writers of the other gospels. In Matthew rescuer teaching pointed to the blessings of the kingdom being extended to gentiles.MATTHEWS MAIN THEMESThe main declare oneself of Matthew is to prove that Jesus Christ is the Messiah which means the anointed one. Jesus can also be interpreted as Joshua in Greek which means the noble saves. Matthewss goal was to convince his readers that the King of kings has come, with this in mind he uses words and names that the Jews are familiar with. Also queer to Matthew is the expression, that it might be finish which is spoken by various prophets.1THE MAIN PURPOSE AND FOCUS OF MARKThe gospel of Mark was written by John Mark. Mark was a rigorous associate of peter, it was from Peter that he received the tradition of things done and said by the Lord Jesus Christ. Mark has more of the preaching of Peter, go down together by John Mark. According to early church tradition Mark was written in the region of Italy more specifically in Rome. In book of Mark John Mark explains Jewish customs and interprets Aramaic words John Mark seemed to have an interest in persecution and martyrdom. John Mark wrote that the injury Jesus was also the Son of God, the Son of Man, the Christ and the Lord.MARKMAIN THEMESMarks gospel is simple and holds an important account of the ministry of Jesus Christ, with an emphasis on more of what Jesus did than what he said. Mark moves quickly from one scene in Jesus ministry to another. Even though Mark bases his emphasis on the sympathy he does not neglect the deity of Christ. Mark wrote to strengthen and guide the Roman conceivers who were being persecuted by Nero. After the death of Peter and eyewitnesses to Jesus life, this gospel centre needed to be written down.2THE MAIN PURPOSE AND FOCUS IN LUKEThe writers name is not mentioned but evidence points to Luke. The gospel of Luke was written to Theophilus and the message in this gospel was meant for his own instruction and also for those among whom the book would be distributed. Luke was probably written around A.D. 59-63. The book of Luke would have likely been written in Rome. Luke had an outstanding command of the Greek language. Lukes words in general se em to reveal geographical and cultural sensitivity. Lukes gospel centers on Gods plan to provide salvation to the world.LUKEMAIN THEMESLuke was written to strengthen the faith of all believers and to give an answer to the unbelievers. It was written to displace and unveil the false reports about Jesus. This trine gospel presents the kit and boodle and teachings of Jesus that are especially vital for understanding the instruction of salvation. The first two chapters of Luke emphasize the Old Testament and its promises of a Messiah while the third and part of the fourth chapters show clearly that Jesus is the Messiah, who can fight against the evil one, Luke continues in the rest of the chapters to write about the life and works of Jesus and e precisething that had been revealed by the law, the prophets and the Psalms about Jesus had been fulfilled.3Luke often stressed the humanity and compassion of Jesus. Lukes favourite expression is the Son of Man. The disciples were witnesses of to this fact and their mission was to share this in effect(p) News with all nations.THE MAIN PURPOSE AND FOCUS IN JOHNSome translators have felt that Johns aim was to present a forth from a different view point the Christian message that would appeal to Greek thinkers. John would have been thinking of the Greek readers some of whom were being influenced by heresy. John main purpose was evangelistic, to build up believers as well as to win new converts. John also focuses on Jesus claim that He was God by including Christs seven I am statements. John records certain occasions when Jesus equals Himself with the Old Testament I AM. John 858 Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.JOHN MAIN THEMESThe writer of John also said that These are written that you may believe that Jesus Christ the Son of God and that believing you may have life in His name John 2031. John also speaks of Jesus as the pre-existent divine Word who became a human being so as to speak the words of God, reveal the glory of Gods grace and truth, to put a bridge between the children of light and the children of darkness, to bring judgment on the unbelieving world and to give eternal life through the gift of the saintly Spirit to all believe and abide in Jesus. John wrote that Jesus was and is the saviour of the world.4John reveals the Bibles most important message, believe and follow Jesus, because He is the way to eternal life. John speaks of Jesus as the light of the world and the bread of life, the way, the life and the good shepherd.CONCLUSIONThe four canonical gospels are very detailed and factual about the life and work of Christ. Matthew writing to prove to the Jews that Jesus is their Messiah, while Mark stressed the humanity of Jesus but he does not neglect His deity. Luke wanted to show that the place of the gentile Christian in Gods kingdom is based on the teachings of Jesus. Luke main theme is the nature of Jesus Christ messiah ship and mission. The gospel of Luke presents Jesus in ways that would appeal to an audience of high minded gentiles. The gospel of John is presented firstly with a prologue or introduction. John speaks of Jesus as one sent from God to reveal His love and grace to man. All the four gospels have unique story on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and they all speak of one person only Jesus who is the saviour of the Jews and the saviour of the world. All the resources I used are very helpful for doing a research like this one and I would recommend any theological student to use these books when doing their essays or research work.5
