THE WITNESS OF THE FOUR GOSPELS

 

The coming, the ministry, the death and resurrection of Christ were pivotal events in human history. God came in the flesh, did great wonders, died for all our sins, was resurrected and returned to Heaven. Many disciples, and thousands of witnesses, witnessed these events. But, in time, all the witnesses would have died, and the events would have been forgotten. God chose to have four reliable sources to record the most critical events surrounding Christ’s human life, for the benefit of all the future generations that had to be saved.

What if God had not inspired four accounts? What if He only had inspired one or two? Would that have made any difference?

The human life of Christ was the most important event that ever occurred on the Earth. His identity as the Messiah was of critical importance to all future believers. Future generations would have been taught about Christ, and the sources would have had to be totally reliable. Matthew, Mark and John were written by people who were with Christ. Luke was a doctor and a historian who wrote the accounts based on interviews with people who witnessed the events. The sources were, thus, totally reliable.

But why four? The answer could be related to a rule established by God Himself in the Old Testament: “By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall a matter be established” (Deut. 19:15).  One witness could be erroneous, false or biased; two would be sufficient; three would be ideal. Four witnesses, though, would have been undeniable. Thus, God made sure that the greatest event in human history would be supported not by two or three witnesses, which would have been sufficient, but by four which was above and beyond what was necessary.

God does everything for a reason and having four Gospels had the very powerful reason to leave no doubt that Christ did come, that He did do great works, that he did die for us, and that he was resurrected. Let there be no doubt, therefore, that we have an irrefutable Savior and a true living hope.
