The reason why 1 Gospel is not enough

There are 4 gospels. Ever wondered why not only 1? Would make much more sense, or?
This is the new version of the "4 Gospels Video" we have done before.

Thanks for all your support and we hope these video can really help you to grow spiritually.

TEXT:
Imagine four persons in a 2 dimensional world would describe to you the external facade of a house. Now imagine one would say “The House is purple.” Another one would say “The House is white.” Another one “The House is red.” And the last one would say “The house is Blue”.

Now in a two-dimensional world, this looks contradictory, but imagine the house was three dimensional and would look this:

The 4 Gospels are not a complete autobiography of Jesus Christ, but rather show 4 different and complementary “aspects of his life”. The Gospel writers therefore may be compared to four artists. Each of them painted a distinct portrait of the Jesus Christ.

But why didn’t God just write one gospel? To answer this let’s go back to the drawing of the house. If we would stand in front of this house, it would be impossible for us to see all four facades at the same time. The limitation however would not be with the house, but with us. It’s the same with the Gospels. The person of the Lord Jesus is so great and wonderful, but also of such complexity that it would have been impossible for us to assimilate it if it was written in one story.

Furthermore these four stories do not grasp the totality of what Jesus Christ did. Because John says that there are many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, he suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

Now what are these four portraits? Let’s go through them quickly. The Gospels got named after their writer’s name: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Matthew was a jewish tax-collector. The guy that nobody liked. And because God is grace, he gets to write about the highest person in the jewish hierarchy: The Messiah and the king. So Matthew’s Gospel presents us Jesus as the King.
Mark was a servant that had gone off-track, but had been restored. By grace he was chosen by God to write about the Lord Jesus as a servant. Mark’s Gospel presents us Jesus as the Servant.
Luke was a physician and who would be better equipped than a medical doctor to write about the manhood of Christ. Luke’s Gospel presents us Jesus as the perfect man.
John, the fisherman, is the disciple that Jesus loved and he describes Jesus in a way that none of the other gospels do: He reveals us Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

I hope I was clear and concise for this introduction. If you have any questions or comments, leave them below and please subscribe, so we keep you update about new videos.

The Gospel is only one, and is not a book. It is a life changing message that Jesus has died for our sins, that He has risen, and gives us eternal life.

My mind is blown I keep getting to Mathew in the bible and confused that Jesus rises, and then the story starts again. Thank you for making this cliff note.

honestly, you are taking an approach on the four canonical gospels that i hadn't encountered yet.

But this raises a few question for me:
1. let's say the four gospels describe the four walls of the house, then why is there a disagreement with the non canonical gospels that could possibly describe the roof? i mean, it just seems to "appear" that they disagree, right?
2. who actually wrote the four gospels? the occurring titles always mention "according to". but is it scientifically proven that those four wrote their gospel? and can you please provide some evidence.
3. the majority of the NT includes the letters of the apostle Paul. Regarding the doctrines of Christianity today, how much actually is mentioned and comes from the four gospels, and what is attributed to Paul?

Thank you for your time!

I don't know if this video is too old for my question to be noticed, but I have been wondering about quotes from Jesus between the Gospels. The wording will be different between them, so as factual historic accounts, how is that resolved? An example is when Jesus curses the fig tree. The words he uses to curse it are different. So which sentence did he actually say?

[sejhanhaliti]

Did they met jesus or eat or walking vith him did they even talk vith jesus ?

[Teja_Teja_Teja]

Wonderfully explained . Thank you very much for explaination. God bless you.

So basically Mathew, Mark and Luke talked about Jesus the Prophet, and John talked about Jesus the Son, Correct?

[ElizabethTaylor-rcfh]

It's Refusing to post yet my battery and Internet connection are fine. Can you tag me please 🙏?

[josiehurley]

Amazing, easy to understand! Even though 4 gossipls tell different stories of Jesus' life, they all tell us off what an amazing and loving Heavenly father that we have. THANK YOU CROSS PAINT AND JESUS!!!!

[fernandodosa]

silly explanation. imagine a house with 7 or 8 or 9 sides. or imagine there were 8 gospels in your example they would describe the outside and inside the house. you can always take any number of anything and make it fit any example. the question is why four gospels if there were 12 apostles.
shouldn't they all have written something about Jesus. never mind the gospels were not written by the apostles at all but we're written 30 to 120 years after the fact by literate Greek Scholars who never saw or heard Jesus do or say anything.

[ozskipper]

All anonymously written. Who wrote them? That is the question that needs answering

[LuNa-gntc]

If each book was representing the point of view of those 4 persons as you said so what you've as bible now aren't the same as the one sent by God ? Cauze if it was so, it wouldn't be changed or containing "people's opinion" .

[alexanicolesimbul]

Thank you so much its so easy to understand now!!!
