Today we talked about the writers of the four books we call "Gospels."
They are:
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John
Matthew and John are Apostles. All four are called Evangelists which is a word that means "Writer of the Gospel."
Evangelist comes from a Greek word that means "Good News" or "Gospel."
An Evangelist tells the Gospel.
Telling the Gospel is Evangelism.
A church based on the Gospel is Evangelical.
We are Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church and School.
We started reading the Gospel of Luke. Luke's profession was being a doctor. He was the Apostle Paul's companion.
Luke did research before he wrote his Gospel. It is possible that part of his research included talking to Mary.
Chapter 1 of Luke tells the story of the birth of John the Baptist. We'll learn more about his birth on Thursday.
