THEMES OF NEW TESTAMENT BOOKS
Matthew tells of Christ the King But Mark shows Jesus serving. In Luke He's the Son of man But in John He's God plus man.   Acts records the church witness Romans tells God's righteousness. Corinth church needs correction Paul defends his position.   Free from Law, says Galatians Saved by grace, says Ephesians. Rejoice, says Philippians Christ is Head in Colossians.   Thessalonians both say, Christ is coming any day. Two times Paul wrote Timothy, Be faithful in ministry. Teach the truth, Paul told Titus Philemon treat slave like us. In Hebrews Christ is better, James a practical letter.   Peter says to be patient Of falsehood not tolerant. John first writes of fellowship But to falsehood do not slip.   Third John says help true preachers But Jude warns of false teachers. John saw Christ in a vision, Which gave him Revelation.   CHORUS Yes, read your Bible. Yes, read your Bible. Yes, read your Bible. It's all about Jesus!
(This may be sung to the tune of "Jesus Loves Me.") (This may be sung to the tune of "Jesus Loves Me.")

The Gospels
NIV Study Bible, 1471

• Gospel" comes from the Old English "God-spell.
  Greek word for "good news."
• King's messengers used to announce "glad tidings"
  of the king's birthday throughout the kingdom.
• Similary, the four Gospels announce the glad
  tidings about Jesus.
• The ancient world knew of history, poetry,
  prophecy and letters. But a "gospel" was new to
  them.
• Here, inspired writers created faith (John
  2030-31) by proclaiming the good news that God
  had sent His Messiah to the world.

7
Synoptic Similarities

• Matthew, Mark and Luke are so much alike that
  they are called Synoptic ("see with," or "see
  alike") Gospels. They all look at Christs life
  from a historical perspective. On the other hand,
  John's Gospel dwells more on the inner meaning of
  Jesus' life and teachings.
• How do the first three Gospels agree?
• Language
• Material they include
• General order of the events and sayings from the
  life of Christ

The Great Commission
Matthew 2818-20 18Then Jesus came to them and
said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me. 19Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of, 20and teaching them to obey everything
I have commanded you. And surely I am with you
always, to the very end of the age."
17
Summary Statement
67
Summary Statement Matthew (1) proves Jesus as
Messiah for unbelieving Jews to trust Him, and
(2) explains that the kingdom is postponed due
to Israels rejection of Christ as King for
believing Jews to see His present kingdom
authority as residing in the Church.

 Key Verse For the Son of Man came to seek and

24
Argument
Luke's Gospel is written from a Gentile mind to
the Gentile mind to confirm Theophilus' faith but
also to answer how the Jewish Savior could be a
Savior for Gentiles. Since Israel has rejected
its Messiah, all men can receive salvation by
simple faith, a message which is continued in
Luke's Book of Acts, which chronicles the kingdom
message from its reception by Jerusalem Jews to
Gentiles in the uttermost part of the Roman
Empire.

Key Word Believe
Key Verse Jesus did many other miraculous signs
in the presence of his disciples, which are not
recorded in this book. But these are written
that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of God, and that by believing you may
