ave you ever longed to walk, talk, and just be with Jesus? Would you like to see Him do miracles, hear Him teach, and know His heart? Would you like to know what Jesus - not Paul or Peter - taught Himself, about God the Father, the Holy Spirit, sin, the Christian life, salvation, eternal life, and the future? Would you like to see pictures of the Holy Land and hear the testimony of ancient historians about Jesus? That is what this study is all about. It is about Jesus! It is about His life and His heart!

The Start. This is the start of a study that will weave together all four of the sacred gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. We will see Jesus in ways we never could by reading just one of the gospels or by reading them one at a time. If we were to study Matthew first, followed by Mark, then Luke, and finally the gospel of John, we would spend at least two years per gospel or about 8-10 years to see everything that they wrote about Jesus. We would also miss statements that are recorded in one gospel about an event that is included in another gospel. If we studied only one gospel, such as Matthew, we would miss some significant facts about Jesus. For example, 7% of the gospel of Mark is unique to Mark and does not appear in Matthew, Luke, or John. Forty-two percent of Matthew is unique to Matthew, 59% of Luke is unique to Luke, and 92% percent of John is unique to John. That means a study of only one of the books will miss a whole lot of insight into the life and passion of Jesus that is contained in the other three. But if we study all of the gospels together in chronological order, we will see everything that the sacred books record about each event; we will see all of the events in order. We will find details that one writer left out but another included. The ancient historian Tatian was the first person to weave all of the gospels together into one study, in A.D. 150. He was the first to venture into this journey. This will be a great study. We want to see Jesus . . .
