Jesus Is The Gospel.
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on May 19, 2016 (message contributor)
JESUS IS THE GOSPEL.
"Fundamentally, our Lord’s message was Himself. He did not come merely to preach a Gospel; He himself is that Gospel. He did not come merely to give bread; He said, "I am the bread." He did not come merely to shed light; He said, "I am the light." He did not come merely to show the door; He said, "I am the door." ...He did not come merely to point the way; He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."
--J. Sidlow Baxter, pastor and theologian
