Confidence in the Gospel // Gospel X - Multiplying the Messageনমুনা
Just imagine, Jesus came to your city or village.
Where do you think He might go?
Would He visit you?
Would He visit the church?
This story in the Bible gives us an idea, of what He might do. He might look for those that are lost. He came to seek the lost. In Mark 2.17 He says something similar: “It is not the healthy that need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Jesus’ heart burned for the lost people and He had a deep desire to restore the relationship between humans and God. He, the Son of God, became human, Jesus of Nazareth. He lived among us and experienced a normal life with all its challenges, drawbacks, and beauties. Although free of any sins and trespasses, He was crucified for our guilt and paid for our sins. But it did not end there. He rose from the dead and defeated it. He walked on earth once more with his disciples and used the time to encourage and commission them to fulfill the work he started. Then he ascended into heaven, to His Father.
The Gospel is the Good News to you and every person on Earth.
It gives you hope and confidence. You can never be good enough by your own behavior and you don’t have to. Jesus took the burden from you and took it upon himself. You can now stand in front of God - clean and pure.
This is true for everyone who accepts the simple truth of accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

About this Plan
Jesus left the church the vision of a movement when he challenged us to reproduce from our own Jerusalem into “Judea, Samaria and the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8). For us to see a movement, we need every Christ follower to adopt Jesus' personal mission to “seek and save the lost.” (Luke 19:10). Evangelism is core to the mission of Jesus and essential to accomplishing his vision. In this reading plan we will explore why is worth to be shared.
