What the Gospel is to me

The Gospel is a life of healing, caring, loving, listening, restoring, enjoying, ennobling, impassioning, freeing and befriending. It's a life of feeding, clothing, housing and counseling. But above all, it’s relational and real. You shouldn't even know you're sharing the gospel when you are, because it's so much a part of you and your everyday routine. People shouldn't feel like you're pawning something off or pitching a product or selling a trinket...they should feel like they just had a conversation with someone who has a peculiar passion for life. They should feel like they just encountered something contagious, infectious and inviting.

Hmm...I bet that’s what people felt when they bumped into Jesus.
