Summary:

When Mark, Matthew, and Luke decided to give a written account of Jesus Christ, they were faced with a formidable challenge. How could they tell the story of the man who spoke and acted like God? They used several titles, such as prophet, Messiah, Son of God, Son of Man, Servant of the Lord, and even Lord itself. But none of these really did justice to the person of Jesus. Through a carefully crafted narrative, the synoptic evangelists painted pictures of Jesus that went beyond all of Israels expectations and showed a man who was Gods humble, suffering servant and at the same time Gods equal.
