Matthew
The arrival of the promised Messiah ushers in the long-awaited reign of heaven on earth, culminating the sacred narrative of the Jewish people. This Messiah, embodying the collective journey of Israel, is portrayed through having a proper lens. Drawing parallels to Moses, the herald of liberation and law, the author organizes the Messiah’s teachings into five comprehensive discourses, echoing the structure of the Torah’s five books. Through this framework, Matthew’s narrative reveals the unfolding of redemption, led by the Messiah. The culmination of this divine story is marked by the Messiah’s charge to his followers, entrusting them with a global mission under the assurance of his divine presence, “Surely I am with you always.”

Mark
The Gospel of Mark unfolds the essence and calling of discipleship under Jesus. This sacred narrative positions every individual at a crossroads: to walk as a disciple of Jesus or to stand among his challengers. Mark dives deep into the life and teachings of Jesus, advocating for discipleship as an intimate journey of companionship with Christ rather than a mere adherence to religious norms. At the core of this discipleship lies a profound fellowship with Jesus, encapsulated by unwavering trust, open confession of His lordship, adherence to His teachings, and allowing these interactions to mold one's very being. Such a path of discipleship is not without its trials, mirroring the rejection and suffering Jesus Himself endured. Through Mark's portrayal, the Passion of Christ becomes not only a narrative of sacrifice but also a clear call to embrace the depth of relationship with Jesus, preparing oneself to bear the cross of rejection for the sake of living in His footsteps.

John
John concludes his gospel with a clear statement of intent: he writes to affirm that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and through belief in Him, one may find eternal life. This assertion underscores Jesus's divine identity and mission, inviting readers into a transformative relationship with God's Son. From the outset, John positions his narrative within the cosmic framework of creation, using the phrase "In the beginning" to parallel the Genesis account, signaling the inauguration of a new creation through Jesus, the Son of God. John meticulously structures his gospel around the number seven, a symbol of completeness in Jewish tradition, to underscore the perfection and fullness of God's plan manifest in Jesus. The gospel unfolds in two primary sections: the first explores Jesus' public ministry, which is structured into seven distinct sections. The second part focuses on the Passover weekend, marking Jesus' sacrificial death for humanity's redemption. John highlights seven declarations by Jesus, each prefaced with "I am," deliberately echoing God's self-revelation in the Hebrew Scriptures, thereby underscoring Jesus' divine nature. Additionally, seven miraculous signs performed by Jesus are detailed, each acting as a testament to His divine authority and purpose. John emphasizes the resurrection occurring on the first day of the week, symbolizing the dawn of a new creation, brought forth by Jesus, the Son of God, breaking the old order and heralding a new type of kingdom.
