The four gospels are ancient biographies about Jesus. They were not written by Jesus. Gospel means the good news, so then the question is good news about what? In the first chapter of Mark’s gospel verse 14-15 says, “After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee. He preached the good news of God.The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Turn away from your sins and believe the good news!”

The good news is that the kingdom of God has come. The arrival of King Jesus is very good news indeed, even though it doesn’t play out as everyone expected it to.
