This book is a great evangelistic tool toward better understanding the Gospels and preparing how to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others. The Gospels are the perfect springboard to teaching and sharing and the more you understand their meaning, the better prepared you will be to successfully bring others to know Christ.
The life and teachings of Jesus Christ have profoundly shaped human history, offering guidance, hope, and inspiration to millions. The purpose of this book is to help readers explore the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—in a way that combines their original messages with practical insights for today. Teaching this alone is often all one needs to share to be an effective evangelist
Each of the four Gospels gives us a unique portrait of Jesus, bringing together perspectives that enrich our understanding of his words and actions. By examining these texts closely, we can uncover layers of meaning that speak to both their historical context and their relevance in our own lives.
How the Gospels are Presented Here
To get the most from this book, readers are encouraged to approach each Gospel in two parts. First, read the original text of the Gospel, allowing its words to speak directly.
Then, follow up with the plain language interpretation, which aims to clarify key teachings and discuss their relevance in today’s world. By engaging with both the text and its contemporary application, you can deepen your understanding of Jesus’s life and teachings, discovering ways to live out his message in your own life.
This approach will make each Gospel’s wisdom accessible, meaningful, and transformative, helping you experience the enduring impact of Jesus Christ’s life and legacy. In this way, you can then share what you learn with those you are evangelizing to. And you’ll strengthen your own walk as well.
You and Ministry
The last chapters focus on what you should know to effectively share the message of the Gospels and the Life of Christ with others.
There is a chapter on how to speak into the lives of others in a way that they can hear you. Understanding that unchurched folks will often put up barriers to understanding and how you can overcome those barriers.
We will cover your call to ministry and how you can become an integral part of the community in a way that places you on the front lines of the needs of others. It is serving those needs where those needing to hear the Good News will be placed for you by God, giving you an opportunity to bring others to know the richness of Jesus Christ and the promise of Salvation.
