The Gospel of Matthew

Jesus is the Messiah,
the son of David, the King of the Jews.

" A record of the
genealogy of Jesus
Christ the son of David,
the son of Abraham…”
Matthew 1:1-18

"All this took place to fulfill what the Lord
had said through the prophet: “The virgin
will be with child and will give birth to a
son, and they will call him Immanuel”—
which means, “God with us.”"
Matthew 1:22-23

" This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His
mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but
before they came together, she was found to be with
child through the Holy Spirit."
"But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of
David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit."
Matthew 1:18, 20



The Gospel of Mark

Jesus is the Suffering Servant,

"For even the Son of Man did
not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give his life as a
ransom for many.”"
Mark 10:45



The Gospel of Luke

Jesus as the Son of Man,
rejected by Israel, offered to the Gentiles.

" Many have undertaken to draw up an account of
the things that have been fulfilled among us...
Therefore, since I myself have carefully
investigated everything from the beginning, it
seemed good also to me to write an orderly
account for you…so that you may know the
certainty of the things you have been taught."
Luke 1:1-4

“The birth of Jesus Christ was a birth in normal
human flesh from a normal human mother,
whose conception was not the result of sexual
intercourse with any man, but by the supernatural
activity of the Holy spirit.”


The Gospel of John

Jesus Is the Son of God

" In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning. Through
him all things were made; without him nothing
was made that has been made."
John 1:1-3

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling
among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of
the One and Only, who came from the Father, full
of grace and truth. John testifies concerning him.
He cries out, saying, “This was he of whom I said,
‘He who comes after me has surpassed me
because he was before me.’”
John 1:14-15

􀂉􀂉 The Eternal Son Took on Human Flesh to Reveal God
to Men. (John 1:18)
􀂉􀂉 The Word Became Flesh to Reign Over His People.
(Luke 1:33a; Matthew 2:2)
􀂉􀂉 He Came to Redeem.
(Mark 10:45)
