When we open the door of the New Testament, we soon meet Jesus Christ. Surprisingly, however, the writers of the four Gospels do not begin at once with the public ministry of Jesus. Matthew shows John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness; Mark connects the beginning of the gospel with the event of God’s messenger preparing the way; Luke records in detail from the promise of John’s birth; and the Gospel of John introduces a man sent from God to bear witness of the Light. The four writers differ in expression and emphasis, but they all set John the Baptist at the entrance to understanding the ministry of Jesus.
