Why is the Word of God important? “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63 “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 God is revealing Himself to mankind His love for mankind His purpose for mankind His promises for mankind

In the Old Testament, the word of God came by the Law and commandments but in the New Testament the word of God came in the flesh – the Lord Jesus Christ. Read John 1:14 “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son…” Hebrews 1:1-2

“The fullness of time” (Gal 4:4, Eph. 1:10, Mark 1:15) The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned. (Matthew 4:16) The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined. (Isaiah 9:2)

Genesis (1-11) Four Events (Gen. 1-11) 1. The creation of the world and man (1-2) 2. The corruption of man, the fall (3-5) 3. The destruction of man, the flood (6-9) 4. The dispersion of man, the nations (10-11)

Structure of the NT 4 gospels Book of Acts 14 Epistles of St. Paul 7 catholic (universal) Epistles Book of Revelation 27 books* *First mentioned by St. Athanasius in his festal letter in 367AD

The Catholic (Universal) Epistles Acts of the Apostles Matthew Mark Luke John The Gospels and Acts II Thessalonians Romans I Corinthians II Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians I Thessalonians I Timothy II Timothy Titus Philemon Hebrews The Pauline Epistles James I Peter II Peter I John II John III John Jude Revelation The Catholic (Universal) Epistles

Gospel is an old English word which means “good news” (translated from the Greek word: Evangelion) The gospel tells the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. (Not a complete biography) See John 21:25 Acts 20:35

Why 4 gospels? Gospels according to Matthew, Mark and Luke are known as the “synoptic” gospels syn = similar, harmonious optic = view Each begin with baptism of Christ, public ministry, teachings and miracles and end with passion, crucifixion and resurrection.

‘All four evangelists reported some of Christ’s sayings, but each of them individually chose others to report. Why is this so? To make us read the other gospels, and to make us realize how remarkable their agreement is. For if all of them told everything, we would not pay careful attention to all of them, because one would be enough to teach us everything. But if everything they tell were different, we would not see their remarkable agreement. For this reason all of them wrote many things in common but each also chose some things to tell individually.’ (St. John Chrysostom)

The Four Incorporeal Creatures 6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. (Revelation 4:6-7) Compare with Ezekiel 1:4-11

Gospel According to Matthew Symbol = a man St. Matthew was one of the twelve Written to: the Jews (most probably originally written in Aramaic) 58-70 AD See Matthew 1:1-17 often used the phrase, “that which was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled…” (genealogies, feasts, etc) See Matthew 11:10 Longest and most detailed account of Jesus’ teaching: Sermon on the mount

Gospel According to Mark Symbol = a lion St. Mark was one of the seventy (72) Written to: the Romans 55-65 AD Largest number of miracles According to the tradition of St. Peter Suggested that Mark was the young man referred to in this gospel that fled the garden of Gethsemane naked after Christ’s arrest. This account is only mentioned in Mark’s gospel. (Mark 14:51-53)

Gospel According to Luke Symbol = an ox St. Luke was: a gentile converted by St. Paul; or one of the 70 (72) Written to: the Gentiles Mid 60’s AD Longest of the 4 gospels Only gospel with accounts of annunciation of Jesus and John the Baptist. Why??

Gospel According to John Symbol = an eagle St. John was one of the twelve Written to: ALL (spiritual and theological account of Christ’s ministry) 80-90AD See John 1:1 Highlights: Most “theological” gospel I am’s of Jesus Miracles not recorded in other gospels (wedding of Cana, Lazarus,) Jesus final speech (John 13-17)

The Acts of the Apostles “Acts of the Holy Spirit” Written by St. Luke Compare Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1 Acts 1-7: Beginning of the church Acts 8-20: Expansion of the church Acts 21-28: Trial and imprisonment of St. Paul

The Acts of the Apostles Significant events: Ascension of the Lord Descent of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost) The punishment of Ananias and Sapphira Choosing the 7 deacons Read Acts 6 Martyrdom of Stephen and preaching of Philip Conversion of Saul of Tarsus (St. Paul) God’s vision to Peter shows that God has broken down the wall between Jew and Gentile A council is convened in Jerusalem to discuss circumcision of Gentiles Spreading of the Church Trial and imprisonment of St. Paul

Conclusion Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. John 5:24
