  7. THE “GOSPELS” – Their Origin • ORAL TRADITION – the preaching and witness of the first followers of Jesus • Collecting these stories and recording them for communities of faith

  8. THE “GOSPELS” – Their Origin • SYNOPTIC GOSPELS • Matthew • Mark • Luke • SIMILARITIES • Common Plot Line • Common Time Line: 1 year for Jesus’ ministry • Common stories

  9. THE “GOSPELS” – Their Origin • SYNOPTIC GOSPELS • Matthew • Mark • Luke • DIFFERENCES • Different Stories • Different Settings • Different Themes, Aims, Audiences

  10. THE SYNOPTIC PROBLEM • How Do We Account For These Similarities and Differences • Two-Source Hypothesis • MARK - earliest • “Q” – shared source by Matthew and Luke • “M” – Matthew material • “L” – Lukan material

  11. 2-SOURCE HYPOTHESIS • Mark as first Gospel (primarily stories of Jesus and not sayings) • Theoretical source that had sayings of Jesus (“Q”—quelle [source]) • Matthew and Luke might have used both Mark and “Q” as well as material unique to themselves “M” – Matthew, “L” - Luke

  12. THE GOSPEL OF JOHN • VASTLY DIFFERENT • Stories • Language • Time Line – 3 years of ministry • Audience, Setting • Theological Purpose

  14. THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH • BIRTH • Mark – Baptism • Matthew – Birth • Luke – Conception • John – Before Time Began • BORN OF A VIRGIN • BORN IN BETHLEHEM • Fully Human, Yet Fully God – Immanuel / Jesus / Son of God / Savior / Word Incarnate

  15. THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH • Baptism / Temptation • Baptized by John in the Jordan • Led by the Spirit into the Wilderness to be tempted • Identifies completely with us – He takes his place in line • Tempted in every way as we are – yet without sin • Saves us as “God with us”

  16. THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH • Calling Disciples • Why were there 12? • In Jesus’ world disciples chose their rabbi… • Disciple – one who is trained to be like the master • Disciples learn by spending time with their master • The disciples grow slowly in understanding – who is He?

  17. THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH • Ministry of Healing & Teaching – Galilee • Luke 4:18-19 • Authority over demonic and chaotic forces • Authority over sickness and death • Authority over the religious teachings of the scribes and Pharisees

  18. THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH • Parables • Stories about the kingdom of God • Stories that were indirect and subversive - tore down old notions of God’s kingdom • Stories that live in the heart and imagination of the church, continually shaping our vision of the kingdom.

  19. THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH • Journey to Jerusalem • The Great Confession at Caesarea Philippi – You are the Christ • The Passion Predictions • Disciples learning the ways of Jesus as they walk with him on the way to Jerusalem – we follow Jesus into this life of laying down our lives for the world

  20. THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH • Death and Resurrection • The Passion of Our Lord • Tried and Convicted Under Pontius Pilate • Crucified by Roman guard on a hill called Golgotha - Skull (also known as Calvary) • Sealed in Joseph’s tomb • Raised by the power of God on the 3rd Day!

  21. THE KINGDOM OF GOD!!!The dominant theme of Jesus’ ministry

  22. THE KINGDOM OF GOD…in Jesus’ ministry • It is presently arriving • “…Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is arriving…” (Mark 1:14-15)

  23. THE KINGDOM OF GOD…in Jesus’ ministry • The expected battle with evil is being fought NOT in the distant future but in Jesus’ ministry • “If it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you” (Matthew 12:28)

  24. THE KINGDOM OF GOD…in Jesus’ ministry • It is “among” or “in” you • “Once when Jesus was asked when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered, ‘The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you’” (Luke 17:20-21)

  25. THE KINGDOM OF GOD…in Jesus’ ministry • It is “the will of God being done on earth as it is in heaven”

  26. THE KINGDOM OF GOD…in Jesus’ ministry • It is all expectations turned “upside down” • Jesus’ use of parables: upset normal conventions and understandings • Weakness=Strength Last=First Death=Life

  27. THE KINGDOM OF GOD…in Jesus’ ministry • It is comprised of “outsiders” rather than “insiders” • Sinners, lepers, tax collectors, women, Samaritans • Matthew 21:31
