The Gospel
God wants to bless us. And He created this world in order to bless us. And in order to receive God’s blessing, we have to live according to God’s economy—God’s ways, God’s purpose, God’s plan.

It is the feet of Christ—broken and bloodied by a nail on a cross at Calvary—it is His beautiful feet that come down from the heavenly Mount Zion to bring good news, the gospel, to proclaim and deliver God’s peace forever more.

Still It Was My Sin
Should we rejoice and celebrate that Jesus was “pierced for our transgressions” and “crushed for our iniquities”?
