The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is the most important story in the entire Bible. Perhaps this is why God inspired four different authors to write portraits of Jesus’ life. Have you considered how the circumstances that led to the writing shaped their message? Like skilled artists, each author highlighted certain aspects of Jesus’ life, teachings, and ministry to help strengthen the faith of their readers. Understanding the background of each Gospel, as well as Acts, can illuminate their message and provide a fresh encounter with Jesus and His timeless mandate for us today.
