What is the gospel?
What is the gospel?! ~What did Jesus come to do/ say? This is
obviously a key questions as it determines everything Christians
live (and even die) for!
I reckon it's about restoring relationships. About restoring relationship with God's creation to how it should be, with each other and ultimately with God himself.
Someone said to me this weekt that when Jesus returned home to heaven after he was crucified he said to the Father 'the kiss hurt more than the nails'. Wow!
Judas Iscariot was supposedly one of Jesus followers and friends yet betrayed him through a kiss for a real small amount of money. The emotional pain of this kiss of betrayal would have hurt and cut deeply.
Maybe you're going through a rough patch. Maybe your friends have let you down. Maybe your parents are going through a break-up. Emotional pain is so often worse than physical pain.
It is such relationships that Jesus wants to heal, mend and fix...today!
