Though the entire sweep of the verses below is not called “the gospel”
\nor the “message,” it unmistakably evokes 1 Corinthians 15:1-5 as a
\nnarration of the saving events of Jesus’ life:<\/p>\n

16<\/a> <\/span>Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great:<\/p>\n

 He <\/a>appeared in a body,<\/a>
was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The
\ngospel is a declaration of the narrative of Christ’s entire life; this
\ngospel is the “mystery of godliness”. As we mentioned in the post this
\nweek on Ted Campbells’ book, the gospel was from the very beginning a
\nnarration of God’s saving work in the events of Jesus’ life and death
\nand resurrection and ascension.<\/p>\n


\nMy own definition of the gospel, which I articulated first in my book Embracing Grace: A Gospel for All of Us<\/a>\"\" <\/strong><\/em>goes like this and I’d like to know if you think it fits the overall themes of this survey of “gospel” in the New Testament:<\/p>\n

The
\ngospel is the work of the (triune) God to form a community of faith in
\norder to restore cracked Eikons through the life, death, and
\nresurrection of Jesus Christ and the gift of the Pentecostal Spirit to
\nunion with God and communion with others for the good of others and the
\nworld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
