Who is Jesus Christ and what was mission in the world from the four New Testament Gospels?

Answer 1

A:

John's gospel clearly states Jesus' mission: Jesus came as the lamb of God.

Joh 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

As the lamb of God Jesus was a sacrifice for sin.

Answer 2

In the gospel stories, Jesus did not really enunciate a mission to the world, but Christians believe that his crucifixion was part of a divine plan that would allow God to forgive mankind its sins, by his death on the cross. On this view, his mission was to become known, so that people would believe and be saved. Against this, Mark's Gospel says that Jesus frequently commanded those he healed not to tell others about him, suggesting that he really did not want himself to become known.

Jesus Christ sent the disciples forth to preach his gospel and, by this action, was the founder of the Christian religion. The gospels say that he preached great moral truths and healed the sick, then was executed by crucifixion in Jerusalem, by the orders of the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. The following table is a summary of Mark's Gospel in parallel-chiastic form, showing how the author wrote about Jesus and his mission to the world:
A . John explains the coming of Jesus (Mark 1:1-8)

B .The baptism of Jesus (1:9)

C . The voice of God from heaven, "Thou art my beloved son" (1:11)

D . The forty days in the wilderness as an allusion to Elijah and Moses (1:13)

E . The people were astonished at what Jesus taught (1:22)

F . Jesus casts out an unclean spirit (1:23-26)

G . Pharisees took counsel with the Herodians how they might destroy Jesus (3:6)

H . Demons, whenever they see Jesus, fall down and say that he is the Son of God.

-- Jesus commands that they tell no one of this (3:11-12)

I .. Jesus calls the 12 disciples (3:13-19)

K . Jesus rebukes the wind (4:36-41)

L . The demoniac, wearing no clothes (5:15), cries out that Jesus not torment him and Jesus sends out the demons (5:1-20)

M . Jesus comes into his own country (6:1)
-- Where he was brought up

N . The people misunderstand Jesus and he can do no mighty work (6:2-6)

O . Jesus sends out the disciples and curses those who will not receive them (6:7-11)
-- in sending the disciples with authority and expecting all to receive them, Jesus is asserting his own authority

P . Herod thinks that Jesus is John the Baptist risen from the dead (6:14)

Q . Herodias and her daughter conspire to kill John the Baptist (6:16-29)

R . Feeding the thousands, and related miracles and discourses (6:33-8:21)

S . Who do people say that I am (8:27)

T . Peter affirms faith in Jesus as the Christ (8:29)

U . Whosoever shall be ashamed of me: of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed (8:38)

V . The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and scribes (8:31a)

W . Be killed and after three days rise again (8:31b)

X . Prophecy of second coming (9:1)- Jesus tells the disciples that some of them would not taste death until they saw the kingdom of God coming with power.

B' .The Transfiguration of Jesus (9:2-3)

C' .The voice of God from heaven, "This is my beloved son" (9:7)

D' . Jesus talks to Elijah and Moses then to the disciples about Elijah (9:4-13)

E' .A great multitude was amazed at Jesus (9:15)

F' .Jesus cast out a dumb spirit (9:17-27)

G' .They shall kill the Son of man and he shall rise on the third day (9:31)

H' .Jesus clarifies his divine status, saying that he is not God: "Why call me good? There is none good but God" (10:18)

I' . Peter says the disciples have left all and followed Jesus (10:28)

J' . Those who have left their family for Jesus have a new family: all Jesus' followers (10:29-30)

K'. Jesus rebukes the 'sons of thunder', James and John (10:35-45 - cf 3:17)

L' .Blind Bartimaeus cries out for mercy and casts off his clothes, then Jesus heals him (10:46-52)

M' .Jesus comes into Jerusalem (11:1-10)
-- Where he will die

N' .Jesus misunderstands the fig tree that can provide no fruit (11:13-14)

O' .Jesus casts out them that sold and bought in the Temple and curses them for making the Temple a den of thieves (11:15-17)
-- Jesus is asserting his authority

P' .Jesus asks whether the baptism of John is from heaven or of men, and the priests, scribes and elders can not answer (11:30-33)

Q' .Parable of husbandmen who conspire to kill the vineyard owner's son (12:1-9)

X' .Prophecy of second coming (chapter 13)

-- on clouds of glory, within the lifetimes of some of those to whom he was speaking

R' .The Last Supper (14:17-25)

S' .Art thou the Christ, Son of God (14:61)

T' .Peter denies Jesus three times (14:66-72a)

U' .And when he thought thereon, Peter wept (14:72b)

V' .The chief priests, elders and scribes delivered Jesus to Pontius Pilate (15:1)

-- Delivering Jesus is a similar concept to rejecting him.
-- Both parts of the pair involve chief priests, elders and scribes

W' .Jesus dies and on the third day rises again (15:37, 16:6)

A' .The young man explains the departure of Jesus(16:6-8)

We see twice (Pair C) that God described Jesus as his beloved son. In event H, demons, whenever they see Jesus, fall down and say that he is the Son of God, but in event H', Jesus denies that he is God ("Why call me good? There is none good but God.") . In event T, we see that Peter recognised Jesus as the Christ, although he later (event T') denied him three times. These events give us a good understanding of just who Jesus is.

Part of Jesus' mission was to preach and heal the sick, to the astonishment of the people, as we see in events E and E'. He forgave sins, and Christians believe that he continues to do so through his crucifixion and resurrection. He told his followers that he would return to earth on clouds of glory within the lifetimes of some of those listening to him at that time (events X and X'). That Jesus did not return as promised is explained in the later gospels, because no man can know when Jesus will return.

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke were substantially based on Mark, but add further information about just who Jesus Christ is, describing the birth of Jesus and the circumstances surrounding his birth.
