In studying the four gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke will often record an event that John speaks nothing of; likewise, John will record an event that the other authors speak nothing of. Each book is a whole by itself, and at the same time, each book is also part of the whole, as they come together in the harmony of one book.
Together the four Gospels tell who Jesus was, but they are more testimonies than biographies. They descried the character of Christ more so than the day-by-day story line of his ministry. The testimonies in the gospels tell who Jesus was, what he said, what he did, and why it was important.
Thoroughly reading the four gospels this semester has brought me to a deeper understanding of his nature. I’ve discovered that it is essential to know of the Lord in order to believe in him. The more I learn of the Savior the deeper the roots of my faith grow.
