The Gospel – God’s radical rescue plan.
Exploring the good and the bad.
The Gospel isn’t just a feel-good story, it’s a mind-blowing rescue mission. But let’s be realistic about what we’re really saved from. It’s not just about escaping sin or personal demons. Deep down, the Gospel reveals that Jesus saves us from something far more intense – the pure, unfiltered righteousness of a holy God.
JESUS SAVES US FROM GOD!
This was no last-minute divine pivot. Before the universe even existed, God had already worked out an epic plan of redemption. Look at Ephesians 1:4-5, God chose us before time began, predestining us for adoption. Jesus wasn’t a backup plan. He was the original plan, he was the sacrificial lamb ordained before creation itself.
Why is that important? Because you can’t appreciate the good news without understanding the story and the bad news.
God is not a cosmic teddy bear. He is perfectly just, which means that sin cannot be tolerated. True love is not cheap; it has a cost.
Think of it this way: Jesus is the ultimate light that exposes our darkness. His arrival forces us to make a crucial choice: enter the transforming light or remain stuck in the destructive shadows. For those who reject him, divine justice remains. But for believers, Jesus absorbs that justice, taking the blow we fully deserved.
The cross was not a compromise between divine love and wrath. It was the ultimate moment when both were completely satisfied. God essentially said: “I love you so much that I will take the punishment myself”. As the apostle Paul says, God made Jesus, who was completely innocent, into sin, so that we could become righteous.
Here’s the crazy part – it wasn’t a reluctant plan. He was born out of pure, unconditional love before time began. Divine justice demanded resolution, and divine love provided the solution.
For Generation Z, millennials and everyone in between, this is more than religious talk, it’s a raw and authentic rescue story. This gospel addresses our deepest existential questions:- How can broken people connect to a perfect God?
If you’ve only heard of a gentle, cuddly God who never judges, or a hard God who only condemns, you’re missing the bigger picture. The true gospel is nuanced, it speaks of a just God who loves so deeply that he has personally absorbed the consequences of our brokenness.
This message is both a comfort and a challenge. It reveals the incredible cost of grace and the breathtaking depth of God’s love – a love so extreme that God did not hold back his own Son to save us.
The invitation is: “Enter into this transforming light”. Because Jesus doesn’t just save us from something, he saves us for something profound – an eternal relationship that rewrites everything we thought we knew about love, justice and second chances.
God bless you all.
