The important point is this:

1. We have the Ministry of Jesus Christ

3. We have the Gospel as preached by the apostles (most info we have is from Paul)

What is missing is the most important pieces (why I did not put #2 above).

If we stop at #1 the conclusion we come to is Jesus came to preach “Sinai II” the Law more perfectly delivered and practiced by One Person—Jesus Christ.

If we just look to #3 and compare it to #1, we grapple with what is perceived as contradictions or the apostles departing from Christ’s Words. In effect, Paul at the least would have to be declared a heretic.

HOWEVER...I failed to insert #2 above. Which is:

2) Death (shed Blood), burial and Resurrection (Life Everlasting) of Jesus Christ.

#1 and #3 now are seen within proper and very important context in light of #2.

So without the Cross and Empty Tomb, we are led back to Mt Sinai (Law). With the Cross and Empty Tomb we have deliverance from Mt Zion (Grace).

Not trying to be disagreeable but with out the Gospels themselves which Paul did not write we would have nothing.
