Mystery of the Gospel
Love these thoughts adapted from JD Greear on the Mystery of the Gospel:
- The First Mystery of the Gospel (what angels are “amazed” by) is not why some aren’t saved, but why any are saved! The cross is foolishness…
- The Second Mystery of the Gospel is not why some aren’t saved, but how those who are saved fail to give their lives for those who aren’t.
Ouch.

The cross is indeed foolishness isn’t it? I would say that that’s grace but then I don’t fully understand grace.
The second mystery of the gospel is certainly very interesting and true in a lot of way. It is this very act of reflecting the love of Christ to others in the hope of a transformation that should compel us to do so. Unless we understand the power, grace and love of the cross then we can help to transform people to change their primary allegiance to Jesus. Good stuff Artie, hope you’re well!
