The Gospel by Eric Ludy

Some interesting points to consider with this - 

 

For instance, how many rejoice in being set free but never walk out the door? How many never grasp their sonship? How many march forward as if He is not with us?

"Please note that this is a metaphorical take on the Gospel. It presumes a knowledge of the historic framework of the Cross, Burial, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ. Though certain elements of the Cross-work are not fully explained herein (i.e. - Jesus's fulfillment of all righteousness, His perfect match with all the Old Testament Messianic prophecy, and His bearing of the outpoured wrath of God in our stead), we in no way wish to diminish their significance and importance in the Gospel landscape."

Thanks Nebula, this was pretty cool.

My wife recently read one of Eric and Leslie Ludy's books that they co-authored together.
May the Body of Christ come to realize much of the truth in this 11 minute video.
In a round about way had me thinking a bit on the allegory "The Pilgrim's Progress."

God wants all of His Body to walk out of that symbolic prison cell. So many are not pushing on the door to get out. For those that do these were but a few things that stood out to me in the video:

"I want you to work for Me, I want you to represent Me. I have a commission for you...
 I need you to go back to that prison cell I took you out of, because there is a whole bunch more, that need to know about Me, my love, and My Truth..."
 
"I need to forewarn you, I'm going to send you out, and you will be as sheep among wolves, they'll kill you, they'll destroy you  they'll hate, they'll persecute you, they will do whatever they can to harm you..."

"We are commissioned to represent Him!
I ask you to go, go and make disciples of all men, go and be unashamed of My Gospel and preach it.
Go and rescue the lost in the power of My name! For is not The Lamb that  was slain worthy to receive the reward of His suffering..."

"Our God mocks all the powers of Hell through fluffy little lambs, because His lambs beat the wolf pack. That's the Gospel..."

"The Gospel trounces upon all the powers of earth and Hell and demonstrates to the universe the manifold wisdom of God. That He is in control, and even though we look weak... Spiritually greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world. That is good news! And it is a lot better than what's being dealt out today in the church. We need to rise up, proclaim the Gospel, and say, "I'm not ashamed of it! Dear Lord Jesus, take what is rightfully Yours."

When you're devoured by wolves,  that doesn't make you a wolf.
