It is good to have more than one person ready to verify facts, especially when they are well-informed and honest. In the case of the remarkable life of Jesus, we have four accounts written by people close to the source, which we traditionally call the Gospels, because they record the gospel, or good news, about Jesus. After considering their authorship, we look at their overall structure and the curious methods that Jesus used to reveal himself little by little to his followers and to others. These culminated in the crowning acts of his work: his death and resurrection.
If you have ever compared your life to someone else’s (who hasn’t?), you need to hear Jesus’ reply in John 21:20-25 to Peter’s curiosity...
When we hear the gospel and believe it, Christians are sealed with the Holy Spirit.
Although sin twists the law for evil purposes, the law itself is good.
