The Gospel is NOT just an Easter message...

It's Good Friday, and I've been thinking about something all day. I can't get it off of my mind, so I figured I would just share it with you. Today, is the day that many of us will remember the sacrifice that Jesus Christ paid so that our sins could be forgiven. We're grateful for what today represents in regards to Calvary, because had it not been for Calvary, we'd all be lost without any hope of eternal salvation.

But, with that being said, it is sad that (1) this Sunday, Easter Sunday, will be the ONLY Sunday that some will step foot into a Church, except on Christmas and (2) that Easter Sunday is the ONLY Sunday that some preachers will preach "the Gospel!"

I just feel like telling someone today that the Gospel is NOT just an Easter message...it is THE MESSAGE! (Romans 1:16) says "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth!" (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) says that I can stand on the gospel because "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."

The Gospel is THE MESSAGE whether it's Easter Sunday or NOT! Because of His death, burial and resurrection our sins can be forgiven, washed away and we can be made new through the power of the Holy Ghost! The Gospel IS the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and we all have the opportunity to experience the Gospel when we Repent, are Baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ and filled with the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in other tongues! (Acts 2:38)

You do not have to wait around for Easter Sunday to experience the Gospel because the Gospel is NOT just an Easter message...it is THE MESSAGE!
