"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in according with the Scriptures..."

The means of the Gospel is God's starting point for everything else.  In order to know and experience the Kingdom of God, we must first know the King and the gracious gift that He has given us as an entry point to His Kingdom.  The King has come and has given us His life for ours: This is the means of the Gospel.

Jeff Wall w/ Mike Phay.

The Church and The Gospel have been attached at the hip for about 2,000 years -- so it would seemingly be important for the Church to know what the Gospel is.  And its questionable whether or not we do.  Is it really Good News?  Has it changed us?  Does it infiltrate every area of our lives?

This is the first in a series entitled "...According to the Gospel," where we will take a fresh look at the Gospel of Jesus Christ and what it means for every aspect of our lives.

Sometimes we are blinded by what we see; and what we don't see is what will give us freedom.  To help us do this, Jesus has revealed Himself and His Kingdom through the words and imagery of the Apostle John, in the book of Revelation.  The veil gets pulled back and we can see the world as it really is.  Christ as King will rule, and every Kingdom set up in opposition will ultimately crumble -- including yours.
