Introducing The Servant King!

Matthew’s gospel is written for the Jews, so he opened his book with the genealogies to prove that Jesus is the rightful heir of Davids throne. He mainly writes about Jesus’ teachings.

Luke mainly writes for the Greeks; he is a doctor & historian & he wants to write an accurate record of events to show Jesus’ humanity.

John is also written mainly for the Greeks & he writes to prove that Jesus is the Son of God who brings eternal life.

Mark’s gospel is an announcement to everyone! It’s simple & to the point. It has in mind the Romans & those with little religious background. Mark is an action book where he is more interested in what Jesus does.

Jesus is the Servant, but He is a most unusual Servant, because at the same time Jesus is the King of heaven.
