Category: 4 Gospels + Good News of the NEW Testament

What are the Gospels?

FOUR Gospels:

GOOD NEWS! (That’s what Gospel means.)

Matthew, Mark, Luke & John begin the New Testament proclaiming the Good News of Israel’s long-awaited Messiah and talk of JESUS Christ.

The four Gospels are first hand witness + proclaiming GOOD NEWS

by two Jewish Apostles of the Messiah JESUS, Matthew & John
Two gentile (non-Jewish) followers of THE WAY of Jesus Christ, Mark & Luke, who proclaim the GOSPEL recorded from witness of Peter, Paul and other Apostles and disciples of JESUS in the first century.

READ the Good News of the Messiah and Savior Jesus from accounts of His twelve Apostles & others witnessing the resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the four Gospels of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

What’s good about Good Friday?
15 April, in the year of our Lord, 2022:

Looking for a question that will trip-up nearly any 21st c. christian?
```
And since I have answered it before rather than answering it yet once more today on this GOOD FRIDAY, I will point you (my christian, jewish and anti-Christ friends) to previous Good Friday posts on which perhaps you might comment (publicly or privately) in this year of our Lord 2022.
```
Why do you call a day JESUS was killed on a Cross good; what GOOD is it to you or for me?

Look at the NEWS of today (and I dare say NONE of it is ‘Good News.’

- Is ‘god’ even news-worthy?
- Does your local forecast not give more credibility to Mother Nature?
- Even TgIF may soon give way to some new credit.
It’s GUNS that kill, COVID which kills, FOSSIL FUELS will kill, the OTHER political party who kills everything right & GOOD!

Tell me, How can JESUS make anything about TODAY good?

GOD IS GOOD (Believe Him; or not)

Will you believe David?

19:1 למנצח מזמור לדוד׃ (19:2) השמים מספרים כבוד־אל ומעשה ידיו מגיד הרקיע׃
Masoretic Text Psalm 19:1-2

The heavens tell of the glory of God;
And their expanse declares the work of His hands.
Psalm 19:1b NASB20 – The Works and the Word of God.

Will you believe Moses? מֹשֶׁה

וַיַּרְא יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַיָּד הַגְּדֹלָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה בְּמִצְרַיִם וַיִּֽירְאוּ הָעָם אֶת־יְהוָה וַיַּֽאֲמִינוּ בַּֽיהוָה וּבְמֹשֶׁה עַבְדּֽוֹ׃ פ
https://www.blueletterbible.org/nasb20/exo/14/31/t_conc_64031

When Israel saw the great power which the LORD had used against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD, and they believed in the LORD and in His servant Moses.

Exodus 14: Now the LORD spoke to Moses..:31
```
This is the victory of the LORD after His Passover of good woshipers among the Hebrews when the LORD killed the firstborns of the land. 
```
Will you believe the [Gospel] GOOD NEWS of John 5?

“Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in the same way..

“For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father..

You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is those very Scriptures that testify about Me..
```
Yet truthfully -- and sadly -- not only do many jews no longer believe Scripture, but too many 'evangelical christians' no longer hold to the Way, the Truth & the Life of the Scriptures either.
```
“How can you believe, when you accept glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?

“For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
Gospel of John 5:45[46]-47 NASB20 + Challenge of the Messiah Jesus to those who refuse to believe Scripture.

Will you believe the Bible?

The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU.”
Galatians 3:8

All Scripture is [God-breathed] inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for [reprimand] rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be [proficient] fully capable, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NASB20

Why don’t YOU Talk of JESUS?
- I don’t talk of GOD.
- I don’t care about the Israel of David.
- I don’t think Moses applies anymore.
- Certainly JESUS is not GOOD NEWS for most!
- I do NOT believe the the BIBLE is TRUTH (for me).
IF these are YOUR excuses to say that GOOD FRIDAY is NOT GOOD NEWS for YOU, you will not want to Talk of JESUS [HERE, or anywhere else].

For salvation is only for those the Lord will choose as His faithful remnant who will believe.

Blood on the night in which He was betrayed

14 April in the year of our Lord, 2022
April 15, 2022
Blood on the night in which He was betrayed
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you,
that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread,
first Letter of Paul to the church at Corinth 11:23 New English Translation Click here for other translations

Hear, O Isra-el

And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your hearing today, that you may learn them and be careful to observe them.

שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד׃
```
We suppose here (though possibly not specifically in celebrating this Last Seder) that JESUS at various times during His three-year leading of the Apostles routinely recited Scripture from their Jewish Bible to these Jewish disciples of the Messiah.

Exodus 12:

Now the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt.. Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month they are, each one, to take a lamb for themselves, according to the fathers’ households, a lamb for each household.. Your lamb shall be an unblemished male.. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month,

then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to slaughter it at twilight.

Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.

They shall eat the flesh that same night.. and they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Now you shall eat it in this way: with your garment belted around your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in a hurry—it is the Lord’s Passover.

For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and fatally strike all the firstborn…

The Lord’s Supper (Blood of a New Covenant)

and after he had given thanks he broke it and said,
“This is my body, which is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”

The Gospel of Matthew

“How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16:11-12 NKJV

The New Covenant of Matthew 26: KJV

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

“This cup

is the new covenant

in my blood.

Do this, every time you drink it, in remembrance of me.” – 1 Corinthians 11:25 NET

διαθήκη + a covenant

the last disposition which one makes of his earthly possessions after his death, a testament or will

“This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.”

And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood. Indeed according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and

וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה אֶת־הַדָּם וַיִּזְרֹק עַל־הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה דַֽם־הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם עַל כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃

Shmot (Exodus) 24:8

בְּרִית

covenant, alliance, pledge
- between men
- between God and man
And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant H1285 which I have made with them.
Deuteronomy 31:16 KJV

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, that is, Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever.

Amen.

Luke 2 – The CHRIST of CHRISTmas
The Gospel [good news] of Luke 2:

4 Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem..

6 While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child.

7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

8 In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. And so the angel said to them,

“Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people:
to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah [CHRIST], the Lord.
This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.”

Jesus

After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Gospel of Luke 2:21 NRSV
