Q John, a disciple of Jesus, was inspired by God to write the Gospel of John, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, and the Revelation of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of John was written years later from a different perspective and in a different style, and “fills in the gaps” left by the other Gospel writers. After reading the whole Gospel of John, use the first paragraph to compare and contrast John’s description of Jesus’ life with the other Gospel account you chose to read this week (Matthew, Mark, or Luke). What are three things that are very similar, and three things that are different in the Gospels?

Q In a third paragraph, discuss the dramatic event of Jesus’ resurrection. Why it was so difficult for people to believe that Jesus was the Son of God and that He had been raised from the dead? Describe what the news of Jesus’ resurrection would have meant to Jesus’ followers. What does it mean for Christians today?

Q The account of Jesus’ death and resurrection is presented in all four of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). In the second paragraph, describe the main timeline of Jesus’ suffering and death, beginning with the Last Supper, based upon the synoptic Gospel (Matthew, Mark, or Luke) you chose and the Gospel of John. Note the different reactions of the disciples throughout those events. Describe what you might have done if you had been one of the disciples.
