    Christ in The Gospels

    Uploaded by

    RODNEY TAN
    The four gospels present the same Christ but from different perspectives. Matthew focuses on Christ's kingship and is written for a Jewish audience. Mark emphasizes Christ's perfect servant nature and lowliness. Luke highlights Christ's perfect manhood and loveliness, with many unique details. John's gospel presents Christ's loftiness as the Son of God through a spiritual and symbolic lens for Gentile Christians. Each gospel writer had their own audience and theological emphasis in mind.
