This month we’re
learning to share the Bible’s central message about Jesus Christ (the
“Gospel”) using a simple diagram developed by James Choung. Last week we saw how evil
and human selfishness damaged God’s good creation. But God loved us, and
the world, too much to leave it that way! So, 2,000 years ago the eternal
God crashed into the brokenness of our time-space world in the person of
Jesus. Through his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus began a revolution
of love and forgiveness to heal the world. Jesus’ work on the cross is the
antidote to humanity’s spiritual contagion that the Bible calls “sin.” As
we submit to the healing power of Jesus’ grace, our hearts, relationships,
social systems and institutions are Restored for Better.
