As you are going.......
As I read this week I often caught myself having "oh yeah" moments, particularly on page twenty four of the commentary. I would like to think that I have a good grasp on what the gospel truly is and the significance it holds. However, after reading this section I have realized that "pop-culture" has put a spin on what the gospel's meaning currently consist of. This chapter helped me peel back the layers of loving bunnies and treating mother nature right. Garland says, "the gospel has to do with God's redemptive action in Jesus, which reveals God's love for humans and judgment on human sin and satanic evil." WOW! That made me think for a minute, the fact that God took/takes action for those who are far far from perfect. It amazes me that God can not be held down by mans lack of understanding as it pertains to his Son.

Wow, that phrase is so deep that i had to read it three times, this post really makes me think about how we put the story of Jesus in a childrens picture Bible. The picture bible doesn't do service to truely how deep the gospel is and God's gift through Jesus.
