How does the whole Bible fit together?
The whole Bible fits together intricately, not slapped together by men, but with everything fitting like a fine tuned watch. A person should take a Bible, get a good reference Bible, and learn to study so they see how the entire Book is unified.
Les explains that the point he tries to make as he teaches is how intricately this whole Book fits together. It isn't just slapped together by men; everything fits just like a fine tuned watch. He tells listeners to take a Bible and get a good reference Bible, not being picky about a particular one, but to learn to study. He then illustrates this unity by contrasting the Gospels. John is the fourth Gospel, even in chronological order. Matthew was written first and depicts Christ as the King; Mark depicts Him as the Servant; Luke as the Son of Man. Those three are normally called the Synoptic Gospels, and though the Messiah, the Son of God, plays those roles, it is predominantly His humanity that is in force. John is set apart from the three and deals with Christ as God. In the Synoptics, He prays to the Father, but in John, even contrary to the King James, translators used the word “He prayed to the Father,” which is not the Greek. As God, He didn't have to pray to God; He simply spoke to Him.
