What is the gospel?
I answered "In short, Jesus is Lord." Not content with that, I then proceeded to speak about God as the loving ruler and creator of the world, sinful humanity's rebellion, the promise of God to restore his people to right relationship with him, God acting through his Son to bring forgiveness of sin through his death and resurrection on the cross, the application of Jesus atoning sacrifice to the believer through faith, the declaration of Jesus as the ruler of the world. At some point I was stopped mid sentence by my interviewer.
That's enough. I was only really looking for you to mention Jesus. I was once interviewing someone for a children's ministry position and asked what the gospel was and after five minutes they still hadn't mentioned Jesus. My recommendation was not to hire them. I was overruled and they got the job.
In other words, I had him at Jesus is Lord.
You are a true Anglican. Take you 10 times longer to say everything.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your applications are going well though.
You will be owning the halls of Moore in no time.
Thanks Dan,
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to college
However I know my mate Nathan reads the comments so I must clarify before he comments that I am Anglican only by association. It's not "in my bones" as it were.
