How did Matthew, Mark, Luke and John introduce Jesus Christ?
Matthew describes him as “Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham”, he introduces Jesus as the fulfiller of all the old testament prophesies, the one God promised to send. Mark describes him as “Jesus Christ, the Son of God”. Luke repeatedly talks of the Kingdom of God and points to Jesus being the King. While John starts by calling him “the Word was God” ie. Jesus is God himself. Each writer emphasises a different aspect of who Jesus is. These are not alternatives but give us a complete picture of Jesus.
