You know when you are a kid it seems like almost every day some thing comes to you that is amazing. One of the things that I was simply amazed with was a thing called a Mobius Strip. From Wikipedia: The Mobius Strip is is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. A model can easily be created by taking a paper strip and giving it a half-twist, and then joining the ends of the strip together to form a loop. If an ant were to crawl along the length of this strip, it would return to its starting point having traversed every part of the strip without ever crossing an edge.I know, this really doesnt look very spiritual, in fact it kinda makes my brain hurt (psssst, its math). You guys have probably all made one of these at some time I am sure. The scripture in the title explains that Paul had given to the Corinthians what he himself had gotten at the beginning. The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel is not just the entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven that you pass through and never look back. No the Gospel is our constant companion as we run this race of faith. We will cross the finish line and with voices like the sound of many waters we will recount our beginning and say "Worthy is the Lamb that was Slain".
The Gospel is what grafted us into the Vine so that we can become a fruit baring branch for Him. The Gospel is empowers us to face our challenges every day. The Gospel orients our minds and hearts in the proper direction. The Gospel is the reason we will rise up when the trumpet sounds at the end of all things. We cannot and dare not get too far from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We need Good News every day!!
