Good News for All People / Col 2:8-3:4
Jun 25, 2017
Pastor Wes Oaks
Jesus is good news for all people. We see it in his incarnation, his
atonement, his resurrection. He took up residency here among us and flipped
the script on us: the power structures and motivations of his present time
didn’t seem to hold sway on him--he lived in an upside down sort of way. He
embodied perfection, too; the religious leaders were always trying to
corner him on something with no success--he lived at peace with God from
the inside out in a sort of way that people were drawn to. He also thought
he was rich. No, he was wholeheartedly convinced that the power and glory
of his Father was present even though it led him into death. Yes, Jesus
lived an inside out, upside down, now but not yet life; he is Lord of us
all, and that is good news indeed.
