Reading the Gospels Together Points of Contact among the storylines – Part 7 Identifying all these points of contact opens up an opportunity to hear the gospels in a new way. And, perhaps this exercise can help us to speculate just a bit more about the events that took place in the life of Jesus and his followers. Those historical questions are actually the least important to consider but perhaps an investigation of the stories together will shed light on what occurred. Once we have examined all these points of contact we will be able to come to some conclusions about what we have read and hopefully our insight into the gospel will be sharpened and grow in depth. The gospel writers are brilliant people that God used to tell the story and, more importantly, to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, the crucified Messiah, the Savior of the world. We can treasure their efforts and marvel at their ability to proclaim to us the good news of salvation and life in Jesus name. We are finally ready to begin to truly “read the gospels together.”
