The Healing of the Gospel - pt 1

Seeing through the lens of the Gospel, through Christ heals our image of the Father. In Christ the heart, love and passion of the Father was made manifest. He made the first move to rescue and reconcile His children. The image God chose to portray to the world was Jesus! Thats the healing the Gospel brings.

John 3: 16-17

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

“The cumulative testimony of the four Gospels is that when Jesus Christ sees the fallenness of the world all about him, his deepest impulse, his most natural instinct, is to move toward that sin and suffering, not away from it.”
