Compare the Gospels

Categories: Gospel of Luke, Gospel of Mark

Create a chart of comparisons and differences between the different gospels. Add the Bible verse. The following is an example – a way for you to begin. You can continue to add to this chart when you read each gospel. This activity will require the use of your Bible and other Bible study aids. This is an activity that might appear too hard for younger children, but using the Beginner Bible or the NIrV Read to Me Bible is a good place to start to help children think in terms of the events in Jesus' life. You might ask them, what are the most important events in their lives; their healings; their favorite stories. This transfers nicely to help them look at Jesus' life. Younger children can draw pictures of these events rather than create a grid.
