There are four books of the Bible known as the gospels according to Jesus Christ. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John give an account of the life, teachings, death and resurrection of Jesus. However, gospel originates from the Old English term godspel. This word has two meanings, referring to good tidings or good news. Thus, inside these four New Testament books contain the good things of Christ.
But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation, Hebrews 9:11.
According to Hebrews, Jesus came down to earth to be a physical great high priest. Within the four gospels you will find verses that highlight this great news. The inspiration behind this selfish act was love. Trying to restore that which was lost, Jesus resists temptation to become the perfect lamb of God. Following the disappointment of Jesus’ death on the cross, Sunday’s resurrection rejuvenated those who had lost hope.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him, John 3:16-17.
Today, some members of the media are trying to rewrite history, suggesting the resurrection was a hoax. Using the conspiracy theory first conceived in Matthew 28:12-15, film makers have created moderns movies to deceive Christians. Yet, like anything else in life, you have to surround yourself with positive people, fleeing from negative influences. As another Resurrection Sunday approaches, may the good things about Christ lift you up and draw you closer to a risen Savior during this season of miracles.
