The Gospels are the accounts of God’s revelation through Jesus Christ –
where we find out about who Jesus really is
Four Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
Jesus:
o Was the son of Mary
o Obeyed his parents and went to Temple
o Was a carpenter and enjoyed friendship
o Suffered and died
o Healed the sick; fed the hungry; forgave people’s sins
Incarnation – the truth that the Son of God, the second Person of the Blessed
Trinity, became man and lived among us in order to accomplish our Salvation
Jesus is both fully human and fully divine
3. Jesus teaches us about God and the Kingdom of God.

We learn from Jesus that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Blessed Trinity – the three Divine Persons in one God: God the Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
The Kingdom of God is not a place. It is the power of God’s love active in our
lives and in our world
