Is it possible to study the Gospels and miss the gospel?
Perhaps that sounds strange, even absurd. But for those of us who’ve been Christians for any significant amount of time, the story of Jesus’ life is well known. We can rehearse the details quickly: He was born to a virgin girl named Mary, and His birth was announced to shepherds by angels. He was hated by the religious leaders of His day, even as the marginalized revered Him. He performed miracles and taught with authority. He forgave sins and commanded demons. He even raised the dead!
You know all this. You are familiar with it. And that’s a good thing, but there’s also a danger to familiarity. When stories are familiar, we can overlook the details. We can begin to see them as just that—stories. But God’s Word is more than a series of individual stories; the Scriptures are telling one big story, the story of redemption through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Rescue Begins from The Gospel Project | LifeWay.
Since September 2015, The Gospel Project has been on a journey tracing this story through the pages of the Old Testament. In March 2017, we will see that story reach its climax with the coming of Christ in The Gospel Project: The Rescue Begins. Through every passage, we’re studying the New Testament with eyes on the gospel, keeping the story of Jesus in the context of the great story God’s been telling since the world began.
The Gospel Project: The Rescue Begins is available now at LifeWay.com.
We also invite you to join us as we explore these themes in the Christ-Centered Gospels webcast on February 15th at 11 a.m. (CST). Featuring Trevin Wax, Afshin Ziafat, Paul Martin, Daniel Darling, Jana Magruder, and John Murchison, this lively discussion will help you and your groups be captivated anew by Jesus—the climax of God’s great story of redemption. It’s a great time of training, team building, and spiritual encouragement you don’t want to miss. Register today at live.gospelproject.com.
