Twice a year at TrueLife we challenge each other through a 28 day study where we go through a reading schedule over a topic or book in the Bible. This year, we are simply reading the life of Christ in chronological order. One of the unique properties of the Bible is the presenting the essential story of Jesus from four distinct perspectives known as the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John). To a casual reader it is often troubling to remember what stories are from what books of the Bible, and when did it happen in the time line of the life of Christ.
My hope in these 28 days is that you come away with an understanding of the time line in the story of Christ. I am using selected readings from a harmony of the Gospel in order to present the story in chronological order. A harmony of the Gospel is simply that. Putting all of the stories in their proper order as you blend the four stories (Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John) into one story.
Here is a great document showing a pdf of a harmony of the Gospels. lifeofchrist
