Kay © iStock.com/nullplus Share Post Email Advertise on TGC “It feels so nice to finally stop and catch my breath.” Can you remember the last time you had a moment like that? For some of us, it’s been a while. In our hard-working, highly productive culture, we can sometimes feel like exhausted swimmers swept downstream in a fast-moving river, fighting to keep our heads above water, gasping for air. We get up early and stay up late. We never waste a minute. Our schedule is full, running here, running there, running late, running to catch up, running on empty, until we collapse in utter exhaustion.

His resurrection from the tomb. It is
the virgin birth of Jesus Christ (Mt. 1:18). It is Jesus, who was conceived by the Holy

And it is Jesus, who rose from the dead
after three days (v. 4). The nature and
holiness of Jesus Christ are the gospel (vv. 3-4). We, as chosen ones, are appointed for this
gospel (v. 1). We must proclaim this
gospel to both believers and non-believers alike, because we are debtors to the
gospel for all people.
