THE LIFE OF OUR LORD
(A Harmony of the Gospels in Chronological Order)
The churches of Christ Greet You (Romans 16:16)
The below outline deals with the most important event in human history. It is an event planned even before the creation of the world. It is the keeping of a promise made to Abraham over 2000 years earlier (cf. Genesis 22:18; Galatians 3:16). It is the fulfillment of a host of prophecies regarding the Messiah - or, as referred to in the Greek, the Christ, who would come to establish His kingdom or church (Matthew 16:18-19; cf. Colossians 1:12-14). It is the beginning of a new relationship between God and man. The event is the coming of the Son of the Living God, the Savior of the world.
Who is this Christ, this Messiah? His name is JESUS. His symbolic name, Immanuel (meaning God with us), signifies His deity (Matthew 1:23). He is man, but God as well. He is God - the God of Creation - but man as well. He is God Himself in human flesh (John 1:1, 14). God, who has previously made Himself known through a nation and a law, is now to reveal Himself in the most personal way possible - in the form of a man (Philippians 2:5-8).
The New Testament record revealed in the below outline will proclaim the Good News about the salvation of mankind which comes only through obedient faith in Jesus the Christ (Acts 4:12; Hebrews 5:8-9). As Jesus begins His ministry, He confirms His Deity and Word with miraculous healing and other signs and wonders. His teaching calls men and women to new spiritual heights in their worship of God and in their relationships with one another.
But because His teaching challenges traditional practices of the Jewish religion of His day, and because He claims divine authority, Jesus meets strong opposition from religious leaders. The opposition ultimately leads to arrest and trial before Jewish and Roman authorities. Although falsely accused, Jesus is condemned and sentenced to die by crucifixion. His death is meant to silence His message, but on the third day after His burial, Jesus rises from the grave and shows Himself alive to many witnesses (1 Corinthians 15:1-8). His miraculous resurrection from the dead proves with power that He is the divine Son of God (Romans 1:4).
The Christian hope resulting from these events is the forgiving of sins through His blood. Ultimately, just as Jesus was raised from the dead, so also the righteous in Christ will be raised to eternal life at His second coming.
What follows is a combination of the four Gospel accounts with an integration of the recorded events as nearly as possible in their proper chronological sequence. This attempt necessarily involves a degree of speculation, because the Bible does not reveal when certain events actually occurred. Despite this difficulty, the record of Jesus life and work can be seen very well from a careful study of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. All glory to God and blessings for greater understanding to each reader.
A.
Introduction
Mark introduces us to the Good News of Jesus the Christ. The Good News is beautifully summarized by John. He begins, as does the book of Genesis, with the creation of man, and shows that the Word (a designation for God a Christ) was not only the source through which all things were made, but also came into this world in human form as the man Jesus. Luke writes to a man by the name of Theophilus in order to provide a more complete narrative of the life and work of this incarnate Word, Jesus the Christ.
Matthews account has no formal introduction, but rather begins with a genealogy tracing the descent of Jesus from his ancestor, Abraham, through the royal lineage of David the King. His genealogy is traced through Jesus legal father, Joseph, as the husband of the Virgin Mary, to whom Jesus was born. It should be noted that several interesting characters are listed in this genealogy of Jesus. For instance, there are Gentiles (Canaanite and Moabite), women (some known best for the sins they had committed), and even the wicked King Manasseh.
Luke also provides a genealogy of Jesus, but his account traces the lineage directly through Jesus mother, Mary. This explains the difference in ancestors from Heli (assumed to be the father-in-law of Marys husband Joseph) to David. Lukes genealogy also goes beyond Abraham, all the way back through Noah, Enoch, Seth, and Adam to God Himself, who created the human race.
