The Gospels of the New Testament consist of four Gospels written by Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Each of these four Gospels describes Jesus' life, words, and events in his ministry in individual ways, depending on the author's intentions.

Matthew wrote the Gospel against hostile and struggling Judaism. He explained that his community was convinced that Jesus was the Messiah and that God's will was accomplished in and through Jesus. Matthew emphasizes the strong moral norms required of Jesus' followers.

At that time, Christians were persecuted in Rome at the command of Emperor Nero. Jewish leaders also strengthened their hostility toward Christianity. Christians also faced persecution from foreign powers. Thus, Mark tried to strengthen the Christians so that they could make a strong determination to face their sufferings. Mark was associated with their belief that Jesus would return soon and the world would end. Above all, in the belief that the end of the world is near, deny yourself and, if necessary, prepare to live a life of suffering and martyrdom. Mark was interested in teaching that he could better understand the meaning of the cross.

Luke makes it clear at the beginning of the Gospels what he was trying to do. He wanted to write about the sure gospel of Jesus Christ. Above all, since the Early Church was composed of Gentile Christians, he wanted to say that God's salvation history is universal, including the Gentiles, the poor, the women, the marginalized, and the sinners.

The Gospel of John confirms that Jesus as the Son of God, believing in Him is the same as believing in God. In other words, the Gospel of John is Jesus' original Son of God who was one of the Triune Gods, but He incarnates to make the ransom sacrifice for the salvation of humans who sinned from the beginning. Explaining.

Jesus' genealogy has three characteristics. The first is said to be Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abraham and David. And it is explained in terms of 『Jesus is the King』. So Matthew 1 describes the genealogy of Jesus, which shows that Jesus is the royal family of Israel. So Matthew shows Jesus to the Jews as the imposing King of Jesus' lineage of David, which is distinguished from King Herod, who was established as the Roman government at that time. And that Jesus is a descendant of David means that the prophecy has been fulfilled.

Jeremiah speaks of the Messiah, the son of David.『 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 』(렘23:5).

Second, the names of the five women are recorded in this king's genealogy. Tamar and Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Maria, of which Rahab and Ruth are all foreign women. These women are flawed people, and through these characters, the royal family of David was born and continued. Matthew says: To the Israelites who claimed to be "the children of Abraham and the people of God", who did not repent even when they lost their country at the time. It is not Israel following the lineage of the flesh, but the new Israel, the spiritual Israel, built by faith in Christ, is really Israel.

Third, this genealogy continues to be born, to be born, to be born. The world of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, is the world of life. Jesus is not bringing judgment and death to humans, but proclaiming that He has come to save and save humans and give them new life.
