There is a lot of confusion among Christians as to
what the Gospel means, but most can agree it has to do with what
Jesus wants His followers to do. Jesus is the founder of the
Christian church and His ministry was supernatural, beginning with
the incarnation, when the Son of God inhabited a human body. The
physical body of Jesus had a birthday but the Son of God did not.
Think about that for a moment. It is also important to realize that
Jesus' physical body died on the cross, but Jesus spent three days
and nights in Paradise until His physical body was resurrected and
He moved back into His body and commissioned His followers with the
same supernatural power. However, this only comes about through the
baptism of the Holy Spirit and this where the modern church runs
into trouble. Instead of soaring like eagles, the majority of church
members are like fat turkey's scrounging for crumbs on the ground
because the supernatural aspect is missing. They are trying to
fulfill the great commission, not knowing that they have been
abandoned by the Holy Spirit. Jesus clearly outlined what He wanted
His followers to do and the weak modern church bears little
resemblance to the formidable and dominant early church. |
