Exploring the Gospels - According to your faith be it unto you - Marcus Da Costa - House of Israel
Once the principle, ‘You must use and interpret scripture according to its purpose’, is applied to the exploration of the gospels, it will be made clear by their writers, that they are bearing witness, gathering affidavits, attempting to demonstrate that Yeshua is the son of Abraham, the son of David, and the son of God. Therefore, although those who’re reading their accounts weren’t present, the gospels is an attempt to bridge the gap between what they witnessed, heard and experienced for themselves, and the reader. As such, though you weren’t at the mountain, the plane, sea front, at the house hearing him speak, watching him for yourself, today we have the same opportunity as they did to acknowledge who he is and as a consequence follow him, to walk as he walked, just like they did.
