Chronological Gospel

The gospels, and most of the Bible itself, are not in chronological order.  This is due to the various authors, times, intended audiences and the focus of the writing.  This makes it difficult to follow the journey of Jesus through the years, there are resources out there than can help, but as you will see even those contrast a bit.  Our purpose is to understand the earthly journey of Jesus, so we will line up what we can in order and do our best with the rest.

Here is a very simple way to understand keys to each gospel as you read it

Matthew

Audience: Jews    Jesus as King

Mark

Audience: Gentile (Roman)    Jesus as Man

Luke

Audience: Gentile (Greek)    Jesus as Savior & Man

John

Audience: Universal    Jesus as God

On a very long road trip, I went looking for a podcast to listen to...now, I'm not a podcast person, audible learning is definitely not my thing, skipping lectures in college to read books or do anything else we much more productive, but here i was driving across states alone with an inability to do anything other than drive and listen.  I expected to bounce around radio stations or be in silence the majority of the time, but as I got about 30 minutes into the trip I looked for a Podcast on Amazon Prime Music, which at that time was the only option I had available to me, there were only a few christian podcasts listed and I picked one...It happened to be "The Bible Recap" and I listened to episodes of that podcast until I parked almost 6 hours later...then when I drove to my next destination, and my next.  It was a refreshing look at scripture and a quick synopsis that was in chronological order, perfect for the Jesus, "3 years not 3 days" journey we are on in Being Real - Sunday School.  

Since getting back from my trip I research more on the folks doing this and also found their youtube channel
