Series Outline for Four Gospels One Christ
This five-week series looks at the four Gospels of the Bible and ends by looking at how they all point towards our One Christ.
Christ – The Risen Lord of All
All of the Gospels present Jesus as the Risen One, Conqueror of death, and Lord of all, and call all people to become His disciples.
Luke 24:1-12; Matthew 28: 18-20
Palm Sunday – Blessed Is The King
On Palm Sunday, we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where He was recognized as the Messianic King.
Matthew 21:1-11
John – The Eagle
John presents Jesus as the Eternal God in flesh – fully Divine, Creator of all, the True Light, the Great I AM – coming to reveal the Father and redeem His people.
John 1:1-18
Luke – The Ox
Luke presents Jesus as the ox, full of strength yet suffering as a sacrifice for sin, so that we might repent and be forgiven of our sins and then serve others.
Luke 1:5; 9:22; 22:15; 24:44-47
Mark – The Lion
Mark presents Jesus as the High King on the move. Although His true identity was hidden from most, His ultimate authority and power confronts the world and could not be withstood. Ultimately all will choose either complete allegiance to this King, or high treason against His Kingdom.
Mark 1:1-15
Matthew – The Man
Matthew presents Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Testament, God’s True Son who accomplishes the call of Adam and Israel, succeeding where they failed, to bring salvation to the earth.
Matthew 1:1; 2:13-15; 3:16-17; 4:1-11
Behold Christ!
The ancient church saw the Gospels as a fulfillment of Ezekiel and John’s visions, and as testimonies to Christ – who is the focal point of all of God’s revelation.
Ezekiel 1:4-11; Revelation 4:6-11
