My Aim Is to Preach the Gospel
Deep Dive into The Archer and the Arrow: Preaching the Very Words of God by Phillip D. Jensen and Paul Grimmond - My Aim Is to Preach the Gospel
The preacher's central mission is to preach the gospel through the prayerful exposition of the Bible to the congregation God has entrusted to their care. The term gospel essentially means an announcement or news. Jesus initiated his ministry by proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, declaring that God was fulfilling Old Testament prophecies and calling people to repent and believe. The apostles later expanded this kingdom preaching by declaring that Jesus died for sins, was resurrected as God's true king, and now commands repentance and faith.
Rather than viewing the gospel as a single dot in the center of the Bible, it is better understood as a comprehensive circle that encompasses the entirety of biblical revelation. This gospel circle includes various interconnected arcs, such as God's role as creator and judge, the devastating reality of human sinfulness, Christ's atoning death in our place, and his resurrection as the head of a new humanity. The gospel acts as the essential key that unlocks the meaning of the entire Bible, including the Old Testament, which serves as the prologue to God's final revelation in Jesus Christ.
Consequently, preaching the gospel by expounding the Bible does not mean rigidly forcing a basic salvation outline onto every text, which would quickly become repetitive. Instead, it involves allowing the gospel to illuminate each specific passage while letting the passage further enrich our understanding of the gospel. Because Jesus's lordship impacts every concrete reality of daily life, gospel preaching remains dynamic and highly relevant. Ultimately, the Bible is not merely meant to inform or entertain, but it demands an active response. True biblical preaching always calls the listeners to respond to God's living word with faith and obedience.
