Plentiful but Problematic

The collection of writings that comprise the New Testament begins with four biographical, historical accounts that center on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. These four books - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are referred to as The Gospels (lit. “good news”). The Gospel according to Matthew is the good news of Jesus from Matthew’s perspective, in Matthew’s words, to Matthew’s audience. This is true of each writer. They each told the good news of Jesus from their own perspective, in their own words, and to their own audience.

People around you need The Gospel - the good news of Jesus Christ. God strategically and sovereignly placed you in proximity to the people around you to bring them this good news. So, what is The Gospel according to You? What is the good news of Jesus from your perspective, in your words, and to the people around you? The Gospel is unchanging - it is always centered on the person of Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever; but, as messengers, we each bring our unique testimony and witness about Jesus. People around you need The Gospel according to you!
