Another Look At The Gospel According To The Gospels

Three years ago I decided to do a study on what these books have to say about the gospel.  I wondered: "Do we see the gospel clearly presented in each of the gospels?"  Or did the gospel writers omit declaring the gospel with hopes we would find it elsewhere?

Consider the following:

• Suppose there were eyewitnesses to the life, teachings, and death of Jesus.
• Suppose they decided to write a books to share with others.
• They would not assume their audience had access to other books about Jesus, so they would try to include all the important details.
• They would hope that those who read their books would gain enough details to believe, trust, and follow Jesus as Lord and Savior.
• Suppose they used the term gospel throughout their books.
• Suppose they described Jesus and His disciples preaching the gospel. 
• Suppose they ended some of the books with a call encouraging others to share the gospel with the whole world.

I believe we have a few books of this nature.

Here are links to six posts I put together as I went through these 4 books that frequently refer to the gospel. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
