Building Our Lives On The Bible - Jesus Christ (Part I) 08/08/10 10:00
length: 32:27
In our Journey through the Bible we have completed the Old Testament survey and this here we cross the bridge from the Old to the New Testament. It really is a bridge because the Bible is a whole in two parts. One is not complete without the other.
The first 4 books of the NT are the 4 gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The first 3 are called the 'synoptic' gospels because they have overlapping passages. John writes from a very different perspective, a very high Christology and mystical language that would be very familiar to the philosophical Greek culture that prevailed at the time of Christ's birth in the first century Roman Empire.
I want to challenge you to read through the 4 gospels again. There are 89 chapters altogether and if you read 6 chapters a day you'll be finished in just 15 days.
This message, and the next four, will focus on Jesus Christ. This may seem elementary but we can take our lessons from the worlds greatest athletes and musicians who practice the fundamentals everyday! For Christians it all begins with Jesus!
