many Christians are interested in the issue of such people as evangelists.Who is it and what they did unusual to always remember all the faithful?They represent the apostles, each of whom wrote an important Christian book.It is called the gospel.
According to church tradition, the people closest to Jesus were his disciples - the apostles.They told the world about it, talked about the miracles that he did, and his teachings.And there are only four Evangelists, each of which is venerated church elevated to the rank of saints.
Apostle Luke
St. Paul had a special influence on one of the evangelists.It was Luke.It was under the influence of the Apostle Paul, he wrote the third book.She had a unique content, especially subjects.Only in his texts were mentioned such things as:
- Ascension of Jesus into heaven after he has earned forgiveness for all people.
- Birth of St. John.
onions - evangelist who most thoroughly and openly wrote about the church canons.He never says that forgiveness is focused only on the same Saints, refused to commit sinful deeds.Paradise expected life not only Christians but all the others, because Jesus came precisely for forgiveness for them.
His miracles did not end today.The holy relics of helping Christians and members of other religions.
Thus, Luke - the evangelist, who continues to work wonders to this day.Everyone needs can turn to his holy relics.Usually ask for prayers for him or the success of the recovery operations.This is due to the fact that during the life of Luke was a doctor.But this does not mean that it only helps patients, anyone can tell him about their problems, ask for help, and she is sure to come.
John the Evangelist
If you pay attention to what kind of life led evangelists who they are and how they came to be known, first of all it is necessary to consider John.The fact that many Christians written sources indicate that he was the beloved disciple of Christ.That John was the only man who stood beside the Virgin Mary near the cross.Therefore, it was logical that he began writing the Gospel.
John was the first witness to many miracles, including the resurrection of Jesus.That is why special attention he paid to the Easter holiday, which did not make the other evangelists.Icons, prayers, various chants - all this was dedicated to John, as his book differs dramatically.The basis of all the scriptures it is focused on the resurrection of Christ, some texts were taken as couplets.All churches are used in songs for the Easter night service.
Levi Matthew
Matthew belonged to the 12 disciples of Christ.And before you let Jesus into your heart, it is the ordinary tax collector.And these people, as we know, did not differ fairness and justice.Therefore, it is possible to appeal to God from the beginning called a miracle.It is believed that Levi went to Christ as soon as he heard his sermons.
about faith and the teachings of Jesus saying all the evangelists who first started doing it - is unknown.Directly on Matthew narrates that his teaching, he began to teach the Jews in Judea.For them he wrote his Gospel, and it was in the corresponding language.Subsequently, the book has been translated several times.
last years of his life Levi had in India, teaching the Christians of this country.He helped a well-known noble family with roots.The head of its first admired Acts, and then angry with him.As a result, Matthew took a painful death.But the head of the family subsequently renounced titles and wealth.He was baptized in the name of Matthew and the rest of his days led a Christian life.
Apostle Mark
One night on the territory of Jerusalem, Barnabas's nephew was born, and then he did not know what kind of life awaits him.Apostle, and St. Mark the Evangelist first followed Christ.Then, after his ascension, he went to Egypt, where he became the first bishop of Alexandria.It was here that he wrote his Gospel, which are intended to have accepted the faith of the Gentiles.
Sources indicate that the book of Mark included little.It consisted of short stories of the apostle Peter.After Mark wrote them, he returned to Alexandria.And there is already understood that the remaining pagans did not give him a quiet life, so hurry to find a successor.
Soon pagans still got to him.For two days he was subjected to various tortures with a break for the night in prison, and then - died of horrific torture.But like all the saints, he did not doubt the existence of God, and his last words were addressed to him.
Conclusion
in the modern know much about people as evangelists.Who is it?Such a question is raised less often.Usually believing family elders talk about their younger, trying to teach the church dogmas and regulations.We can say only that if everyone would live by the rules and the text of the Gospel, the wars and tragedies of the world will be much less.
