Keys to Reading the Gospels
Exploring the Scriptures is tremendously important; it is the primary way we have of discovering the heart, character, and nature of our God. Yes, we can see his power and wonder in creation and we can see his grace and mercy in the lives he has transformed, but we mostly learn of him through the inspired words he has given us.
In a particular sense, this is true of the gospels as they record the life of Jesus. In these four inspired witnesses to the person and work of Christ, we come to know him in a more complete way. This makes the study of the gospels vitally important to our walk of faith. So, a few handrails to guide our study of these four New Testament books can prove very useful.
