The Gospel

From: Powerpoint Daily Devotionals

Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

The Scripture uses many different illustrations to describe eternal life because God doesn’t want us to miss His message. For example, when Christ spoke to farmers, He described the Kingdom of God in terms of seeds and soil. When He talked to shepherds, He talked about one little lamb that was lost, found, and brought home. 

When He talked to parents, He described a wayward son who went away into a far country and then came home to find forgiveness and joy in his father’s house. When Christ spoke to the legally-minded, He talked about justification, that right standing before God that acquits us of every wrongdoing.

Whatever your deepest need is… whatever that longing in your heart is that yearns to be satisfied, your answer can be found in the Gospel. So instead of trying to find satisfactory answers and ultimate happiness in this world, find it in the wonderful news of Jesus Christ, the way to real fulfillment in life.
