What is the gospel?
I've left this post up for posterity. This was my first attempt to start blogging my senior pastor journey. Be kind 😀 I recently recorded some 2 minute devotions at the local radio station for a segment they produce called "Look up and Live." They play them every morning between 6-6.30 here in Big Spring (The call letters are KBST if you want to look them up on the web and try to catch one, pretty early though). The things I talked about have been pretty heavy on me, so I thought I would put them here in print also. I'm very interested to see what everyone thinks. The word “gospel” literally means good news. That is why when you ask most people what the gospel message is they tell you it is that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. This surely is good news for us! As I was reading through the gospel of John a while back, I began to notice that Jesus often refers to “good news.” I became intrigued. What is the “good news” or “gospel” that Jesus spoke about so often?...
