I’ve been reading N.T. Wright’s What Saint Paul Really Said, and I’m almost done. I have to tell you, between it and The Challenge of Jesus it has really expanded my understanding of the gospel. The biggest shift I need to make is to really get it into my head that the gospel is about the Lordship of Jesus and not about the salvation of souls. Yes, those who follow Jesus as Lord will be resurrected and have an eternal future. But we have made a consequence of believing the gospel into the gospel itself. Humanism has infultrated our theology. We always make everything about us!! It’s not about us, it’s about God being King and Lord of the world through Jesus Christ!!
My Lord and my God, may your Kingdom come and your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!!!!
