    The Life of Jesus

    Study the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

    "The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. - Mark 10:45"
    — Bible Study Guide

    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each tell the story of Jesus from a unique perspective for a particular audience. Together they present the fullest picture of who Jesus is - the promised Messiah, the suffering Servant, the compassionate Healer, and the divine Son of God who came to seek and save the lost.

    At the heart of Jesus's message is the Kingdom of God - God's reign breaking into human history. The Gospels build toward the cross and resurrection, the climax of all history.

    In this topic, you'll study the four Gospels, explore Jesus's teachings, and understand His mission.

    First Principles (Archai)

    Jesus is fully God and fully man - the unique God-man.

    The Kingdom of God was inaugurated in Jesus's ministry.

    Jesus's death was substitutionary - He died in our place.

    The resurrection proves Jesus's claims and defeats death.

    Following Jesus means taking up our cross daily.
