“What is the gospel?” Responses continuously return to an inward-looking faith instead of a faith that clings externally to the astonishing mercy of Christ Jesus, who took the sinof the world into Himself on the cross and breathed out His life for and onto His creation.  In this act ofsacrifice, Jesus is indeed the sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. Through His resurrection,Jesus Christ has given His promise of eternal life in Him.
