Which gospels portray Jesus as the Messiah, Christ, and rises from the dead?

• A. All of them
• B. Only Matthew
• C. Only Mark
• D. Only Luke

Answer: (A)

All four canonical gospels portray Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ, and include accounts of his rising from the dead. The term Messiah/Christ signals the anointed deliverer foretold in Scripture, and the resurrection is presented as the event that validates his mission and identity. Each gospel spins this truth with its own emphasis: Matthew links Jesus to prophetic fulfillment and kingship, presenting him as the expected Messiah whose life points toward a mission for his followers; Mark presents Jesus as the Son of God and the suffering Messiah, with a resurrection narrative that proclaims new life and divine authority; Luke broadens the scope to all nations, presenting Jesus as Savior for everyone and showing multiple post-resurrection appearances that confirm the message; John highlights Jesus’ divine identity, conveying the risen Lord who reveals himself to believers and strengthens faith. Because all four gospels affirm both Jesus’ messianic role and his resurrection, the best choice is that all of them do.
