As an aid to remembering the distinctive thrust of each Gospel, their portraits of Jesus may be summarized as follows:
In Mark, Jesus is the Son of God who suffers to ransom others.
In Matthew, Jesus is the son of David who establishes the kingdom of heaven.
In Luke, Jesus is the Savior of the world who seeks the lost.
In John, Jesus is the Lamb of God who brings eternal life through a new exodus.
T.D. Alexander, Discovering Jesus
