2. Compare and contrast the birth narratives in the Gospel of Matthew and that of the Gospel of Luke. The birth narrative of Matthew begins with a long genealogy of Jesus‚ which basically shows how Jesus is son of Abraham who is the father of the nation of Israel‚ and David the King of the Jews. This may not seem important but this genealogy shows how Jesus is connected to the Davidic line.

Chapter 3 verses 16 through 21 of the Gospel of John take a moment to explain the major question: Why did God send Jesus to earth? According to John‚ who may actually be a variety of authors‚ God sent God’s only son here to die out of pure love for humanity and the world God created‚ proof that all believers would forever belong to the kingdom of the Lord. John clarifies that Jesus actually is not here to condemn anyone‚ rather‚ he is here to bring salvation to the people of the earth. There is a

‘Valentine’ by Carol Ann Duffy and ‘Our Love Now’ by Martyn Lowery. These two poems were my first choice as they both link to the theme of love‚ yet they are significantly different as they show how their ideas of love differ. ‘Valentine’ has the idea that love is original and true rather than hiding behind false pretences i.e. ‘a red rose’ or ‘a satin heart’ (Duffy 1993). Whereas ‘Our Love Now’ has two different perspectives‚ the males idea is that although the relationship is broken it can be fixed

writers of the gospels‚ Matthew‚ Mark‚ Luke‚ and John‚ who all wrote about the death of Jesus. Most Christians think of the gospels as one story‚ however each of the accounts is very different. Matthew‚ Mark‚ Luke‚ and John all lived in different times and in different locations‚ preaching to different audiences. These discrepancies in point of view are what cause each of the gospel writers to have a different message when they tell the story of Jesus’s death. Mark wrote his gospel at around 70 AD
