Here’s a useful resource. What I love about it is:
- It doesn’t turn the gospel into principles or rules. It gives the big Bible storyline.
- It doesn’t tell us to do. It doesn’t call us to ‘give our lives to Christ’. It’s about the gift of God to us.
- It doesn’t focus on our hearts, our faith, our repentance, an inward transformation that needs to happen in us. The focus in on Christ and his life and death for us and his offering of himself to be united with us.
And for a paper and pencil version:
Maybe there is some contextualisation for us to do on this. Maybe the Christmas tree illustration doesn’t work so well in East Africa and it would be good to get it into Kiswahili. But basically I think it’s one of the most helpful gospel presentations around. What do you think?
This so nice, thanks for sharing it. It is simple yet very deep. The illustrations and the images speak loud too.
