Sticky Note: For His joy and for yours.
The gospel is life-changing news that brings joy. And it is news about Jesus, the Savior-King, the God-Man.
It is not primarily advice or religious "truths". It is NEWS about historical events that surround a historical person, Jesus of Nazareth. It is about what has BEEN done for us, not primarily about what WE are to do.
"...for the joy set before Him he endured the cross." (Hebrews 12:1)
