1.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…
Activity: As we launch this course, it would be good for you to take an hour or so and read
through one of the Gospels. May we suggest you start with Mark, as it is the shortest?
That way, as we start working through the four Gospels in a chronological order, you will
be familiar with many of the events that occurred during Christ’s life. We will be studying
ALL FOUR gospels at the same time, so our approach will be quite different from reading
your way through one of the books. When we look at the events, not only will we create a chronology
of the passage but place the passage into the geographic location where it occurred.
