The Tangible Kingdom [3.1]
Gospel. What a simple, yet powerful word. The definition of the word Gospel is “Good News.”
Have you received any good news recently?
Some feel that the Gospel has lost its place in everyday life, that it’s no longer informing most of our basic life issues. I would have to agree.
I’m afraid it might be true that we often end up shrinking the concept of the Gospel down to a small set of beliefs or doctrines that have no practical effect on our daily lives, while at the same time neglecting to live out the greater story – HIS story.
Try thinking of it this way…
The Gospel is Good News. Good News about what? Good News about who? The Gospel is the Good News of Jesus. And when does the Gospel take hold? When Jesus intersects with our life. When HIS story becomes our story.
Imagine what could change if the Good News of Jesus was allowed to shape and inform all the areas of our lives.
