Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – these are the names of the men who wrote the biographies of the life of the most famous and influential person in the history of the world, Jesus Christ. Each author, in his own unique way, presents Jesus as the Savior which humanity so desperately needs to rescue it from the unbreakable grip of death. The writings are ancient, almost two thousand years old. Still, they remain at the top of the bestseller list every year. Tragically, however, the Gospels are often not opened. The short reads of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John lay untouched on coffee tables or tucked away in closets. Perhaps it is our disdain for the ancient, or our skepticism of the supernatural, or our obsession with the entertaining.
Whatever the reason for our disinterest, the message of the Gospels remains the same: “Read us and your life will be changed.” Does such a claim seem tired and worn out in our world of exaggerated promises? Don’t let the artificial inhibitions of our culture keep you from the Gospels. This weekend we begin a three-month adventure studying the one Jesus through the four Gospels. Join us! Give hope a chance!
