1. Explain fully as to how did In the bible there are four gospels that introduce or
the 4 gospels depict depict Jesus and who truly Jesus is. The Gospel is a
Jesus. word of God or Good news about the story of
Jesus. God makes the four authors as instruments
for us to know the good news on how Jesus began
his ministry, healing, baptism, death and
resurrection. The first Gospel is Matthew, In this
gospel Matthew introduces Jesus as a king and on
how he follows and fulfilled the words of law and
prophets. This gospel also centered about his
teaching. The Second gospel is Mark, In This gospel
Luke describes Jesus as a suffering servant, also
include here what Jesus miracles did and his work
and this gospel included on how Jesus showed his
authority. The third Gospel is about Luke. In this
gospel he depicts Jesus as a savior for all or Jesus is
a symbol of our salvation that who will believe him
will be saved, additionally this gospel teaches us to
strive to organize the things related to Jesus’ life
and mission in order. Next is John’s gospel, John is
the apostle of Jesus wherein this gospel was
written long after the other gospels. In this book,
John introduces Jesus as God so that anyone who
believes in him will have eternal life. Furthermore,
this gospel seeks to inspire belief and focuses on
statements. These concepts give a detailed basis
 for persons seeking spiritual fulfillment and dealing
with problems.

In reflecting this question there are many ways on

how Jesus was introduced and described in the
four book of the gospels, this books helps me to
realize and gain new knowledge that can help more

2 . Discuss fully as to the In the bible, we already knew who the Son of God
meaning of Jesus being the was. God the Father several times proclaims who is
Son of God His only begotten Son. Also in the bible, in the John
version proclaim that Word became flesh through the
power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Blessed
Virgin Mary. That on that day God will become a man
and he became Jesus the son of God, Jesus did not
become a son of God in the natural way because
Father God and Mary did not conceive Jesus because
Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy spirit.
The proclamation of God, we already knew that the
Son of God is pertaining to Jesus Christ. Jesus is the
only begotten Son of God who He sent to the world to
redeem the sins of all human beings. He gave His only
begotten Son for us to be freed for our sins who
inherited our Ancestors, Adam and Eve.

As a Catholic believer, I also said that Jesus is the one

true Son of God that lives forever in our hearts. Even
though we didn't see and witness His Earthly living,
we felt His Presence everywhere whenever we visit
and attend the Holy Mass during Sundays.

3. Discuss fully the 3 In the bible,after John the baptist baptized Jesus
temptations of Christ in the the holy spirit guided Jesus to the desert where
desert as it relates to the Satan tempted him three times. In the first
temptation of Adam and Eve temptations Jesus was tempted to make the stone
in the book of Genesis become bread but Jesus fought this and said that
Man does not live by bread alone but by every
word that comes from the mouth of God. In the
second temptation, Jesus was tempted to the
highest tower to jump to test if God will order his
angel to save him but Jesus said it is written that
we shall not test our God. In the third and last
temptation where Satan tempted Jesus that will
give Jesus the all kingdom or world if he just kneel
and worship him but Jesus fought satan with words
and he answered it is written that you shall
worships Lord your God and serve him only.

In the desert where Jesus suffered 40 days by the

temptation of Satan did not waiver his faith to God
and fought Satan with the word of God. He was
tempted first by his physical and desires needs, in
the second he shows on how Jesus truly trusts God
and on how strong his faith. In the Third, This
temptation challenges Jesus' commitment to his
divine mission and whether he would compromise
his allegiance to God for earthly power but Jesus
rejects this temptation, reaffirming his loyalty to
God alone and emphasizing the worship of God
over worldly pursuits. On this temptation Jesus
showed here how strong and powerful God's word
is and how important it is to know the holy
scriptures. In this temptations Jesus faced i can say
it is also relate to how Adan and Eve was tempted
by Satan to eat the forbidden fruits but unlike
Jesus, Eve and Adan did not resist or fought the
temptation by Satan but they disobeyed God so
they were punished so because of this human sin
began but even so God still promised that a savior
 would come because of his unconditional love for
us and that is Jesus who sacrifices himself so that
our sins can be paid for and people can be
cleansed.
