The Gospel

I very much enjoyed this article from my friend Antony Billington of the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity.

Many religions begin by telling men and women what they should do; Christianity begins with what God has done. The shorthand word for this is ‘gospel’, referring not to a set of good instructions or a piece of good advice, but to the good news of what God himself has achieved – for me, for us, for the world – in Christ.
