Seeing the Life of Jesus Through a Harmony of the Gospels

Mark Virkler's picture

Probably our favorite text assigned while Patti and I attended Roberts Wesleyan College was the book, A Harmony of the Gospels by Stevens and Burton. In this same class, we were also assigned The Life and Teaching of Jesus Christ by James S. Stewart. You can read the first two chapters free here.


We had never studied the full life of Jesus from beginning to end before. We had also never noted how each of the gospel writers recorded different stories from Jesus’ life, or if they told the same story, how they each wrote it with slight differences in perspective. It was all so exciting to see and to understand!

So I went looking to see what I could find online that could perhaps offer you the same wonderful experience that we had. The Harmony by Stevens and Burton doesn't seem to be readily available, but I found this fascinating link which I think you would really enjoy: a Harmony of the Four Gospels. Check it out and see if it is something you might want to go through in your Bible meditation time. Here is another chart you can print out which you may find helpful as well.

You can never spend too much time meditating on the life of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! There is no richer experience available.

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 66 Pages

Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

God Speaks to Me eBook

Many years ago, I read a book similar to this one by MaryAnn Diorio. In it, God was speaking for page after page. I so hungered to be able to hear God’s voice as the authors of that book did, and as MaryAnn does on the pages of this book.

Now God has allowed me the privilege of raising up an army of writers who are sharing what God has spoken to them. This devotional by MaryAnn contains 100 amazing journal entries of God speaking. Below is one sample:

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation ebook

Unlocking fresh revelation daily - by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.
