This is a great 5 minute presentation of the Gospel. Creatively presented and compelling.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
The Gospel should always be compelling. Unfortunately we spend so much time in the minutae that I think we lose sight of what the Gospel is really all about. We debate over atonement theories, and soteriology, almost like we need to tell God how to do his job, because it’s really important to Him that we understand all that he does.
It is important to study theology. It is important to know what we believe and why. But we should never lose sight of these truths:
- The Gospel is the greatest story that was ever told.
- God’s love is really big
- We are the problem with this world
- God provided the solution through Jesus’ Cross and Resurrection
Do we really need to know how it all works? Do we really need to foot note those truths that we find in the Bible with the words of theologians who lived thousands of years after the event?
Whenever I read the Gospel accounts I find that Jesus is way more compelling than our Theology or Christology or Soteriology makes him out to be.
So in all the debates about salvation that are going around the internet and in churches, let us not lose sight that the Gospel is an amazing story of God’s love for us. And let us not lose sight of the fact that we need to tell people about Jesus. And let us not lose sight that we are to continue the work that Jesus started, through the power of the Holy Spirit!
We have a mission before us. Stop fighting, and tell the good news. Our hope should be that all will accept God’s story of rescuing his people! That should be our motivation. Our motivation should not be that our side is right and their side is wrong. Stop! Tell the Gospel story.
I should stop before I get angry.
