As we wrap up this module, it’s a good time to ask what you’ve learned about Jesus so far. When we put all the Gospels together, what do they have to say? Has there been anything surprising about Jesus’ life, his ministry, his miracles? What about his identity? What names or roles would you say were the most significant?
In this lesson we’ll survey the Gospels and line up all of these names and roles. By now, you shouldn’t be surprised to discover that there’s a rich Old Testament background behind each.
