Pastors are to preach the word to the church, reminding and encouraging believers that Jesus is more than enough to bring life, peace, and fulfillment. Preaching the Gospel is far more than a speech or story about how to improve a little here and there. It’s the overwhelming acknowledgment that God has overloaded me with His favor and love through what Jesus did!
The Gospel is the stunning announcement that Jesus did all the work that God’s righteousness demanded and offers the reward of eternal life to you, merely by believing that He is indeed the Christ. This should be shocking and disturbing to your flesh, while bringing absolute freedom to your spirit.
When Moses is preached, people remain blind to the beauty of Grace. When Jesus is preached as our means to righteousness, people are invited to repent, change how they think about God and enjoy the free gift of life!
The Gospel is uncovered as Jesus’ perfect work is preached. Preaching Moses and the works of the Law for righteousness, however, keeps the hearer in the dark. The church is here to turn on the lights, preaching Christ to the world as God’s final solution to sin!
Faith that you’re right with God comes by hearing someone preach about the finished work of the Cross. This is why teachers must not get the Gospel wrong! Jesus, in fact, is the chief cornerstone by which the entire New Covenant is understood and received.
Jesus met all the stringent requirements of the Law, doing what only a professional could do. In other words, Jesus Nailed It! His life in you makes you an invaluable masterpiece, worth more than you could ever imagine!
God implemented the Feasts of the Lord over 1,500 years before Jesus would come. He hid in plain sight the solution to the world’s problem of a sin nature. The plan was never to remove sin by the blood of earthly bulls and goats. Only the blood of Heaven’s own Lamb could and did eternally make you righteous!
Healthy expectations are crucial to navigating life. It you know what’s in front of you there is a much better chance that you won’t be caught off guard. When it comes to what was accomplished on the Cross, we won Heaven. Let THAT be what your joy is set on – not something here on the earth.
By “overcoming the world” Jesus has guaranteed us His constant presence. Set your mind on the promise of this New Covenant and enjoy the peace that is rightfully yours in Christ!
Life comes at us hard and fast. This outward experience of life can be filled with massive ups and downs. Which is precisely why our great hope is not built on what the planet can offer us. Instead, we set our hope on the immutable and unchangeable plan of God to bless us entirely in the life to come.
