Recommended Order
Study in any order. This path builds each topic on the one before it.
Matthew presents Jesus as the promised Messiah and King of Israel, the Son of David and Son of Abraham, who fulfilled the prophets, was rejected by His people, died and rose again, and sends His disciples to every nation.
Mark is the shortest and fastest Gospel, showing Jesus as the Servant who came to give His life a ransom for many, proved by His power and raised from the dead.
Luke, the beloved physician, gives an orderly and carefully researched account of Jesus as the perfect Son of Man, who came to seek and to save the lost, from the humblest outcast to the Gentile.
John records seven signs and the I AM sayings of Jesus so that readers will believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and have life through His name.
Acts is Luke's history of how the risen Christ, by the Holy Spirit, built His churches from Jerusalem to Rome through the witness of His people, as the Gospel went out from the Jew first to the Gentile.
