Matthew shows God's grace in fulfilling the Old Testament promises of a coming king (5:17).
Mark shows God's grace as this coming king suffers the fate of a common criminal to buy back sinners (10:45).
Luke shows that God's grace extends to all people one would not expect: hookers, the poor, tax collectors, sinners, and Gentiles (19:10).
John shows God's grace in God's becoming one of us, flesh and blood (1:14), and dying and rising again so that by believing we might have life in his name (20:31).
