It is my first time to learn the four gospels, which real amazed me. Four gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are all talking about Jesus, but in different aspects. For example, the purpose of Mark is to spread the more intimate parts of Jesus's life. And the perpose of Luke is to give a detailed narrative and account of Jesus's life and the truths about him.

Although I have never read them before, one which most resonates with me is the Luke. Not because the content, but because the relationship between the auther and Jesus. The author of gospel Luke is Luke himself. Although Luke was writing for people who was Christians, and wants to learn more about Christianity, Luke himself is not one of the apostle, he is not even a follower of Jesus. All his writing is relying on the information given to him by people who were eyewitnesses to the accounts and miracles of Jesus. 

Luke's experience told me that whatever you want to do, just do it. There is no limitation or requirement that he has to be a follower of Jesus in order to compose the gospel. Luke wrote the gospel only because he wants to do that. Lukes's experience recalled one of my personal experience. On the first day of my sophomore year, I decided to join a club. Fortunately, on the club fair, I found one of the club that I am interested in--robotic club. However, I had no experience on that field, so I was hesitate participating that club. Finally, I decided sign my name and join that club. Because there is no limitation of joining that club. Althought I knew nothing about coding or building or computer science, I can learn them by process, just like Luke listens to Juses's follower and compose the gospel Luke.

From the class presentation, I figured out that my comprehension of Jesus is mostly right. Actually, most of my recognization of Jesus is same as the recognization of history. For example, the site of calvary is talk about the crucifixion of Jesus. I truly believe this story which is about Jesus is crucified because he is considered as a heretic. Because he wants to save the whole humanity from the sin, he doesn't resist and be nailed on the cross. That is what historians believe. However, the Church believe that because Jesus is the son of God, he has been told that God has a plan for him, he will be fine. Therefore, he does not revolt. There is no obvious evidence in history that can prove the existance of God, so apparently Jesus cannot be the son of God, also, he cannot be told that he will be fine because God has a plan for him. 

Also, from the group presentation, I learned that even the strongest person has the weak side. From the story" slaughter the innocent", we know that King Herod wants to kill Jesus in order to avoid the loss of his throne, However, because the angle told Juses stepfather escape to Egypt, Jesus survived. Therefore, even the savior may need the help of other's save.

This makes me remember a paradox, can God create a thing that he cannot hold. Because in our mind, God can do everything, then if he create that thing, he cannot hold it; If he cannot create that thing, he cannot do everything. No one is omnipotent, no matter how strong they are.
