Sunday Reflections
January 11, 2010 by Ben Griffin
This last Sunday we took the first step in what will be a 7 month long journey through the book of Romans.
We saw immediately just how important the “good news” is to Paul. To him, it is everything… nothing compares to it. As he says, (Phillipians 3) compared to knowing Christ he considers everything else garbage (dung).
Out of that fervor come the cornerstone words of the book in 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.”
We focused on Sunday on the fact that not being ashamed of the gospel should not happen because it’s written here or because someone tells you not to… it should happen because you get what the gospel really is.
The real question for us to think about is what does that look like in our lives?
