The Gospel has no Fade out

Sunday, December 3, 2023

When a movie ends, usually it fades to black or it says, "The End," music starts and credits roll. It would be nice if that happened in life when a bad relationship ends, or you're going through a hard time, trials and testing, and it fades with music and credits. The Gospel ends with Messiah giving the Great Commission. There's no fade out in Jerusalem, no credits rolling over the book of Acts, no copyright notice. The Gospel has no fade out, no ending because there's no end to the work of Messiah. There's no end to His love, His grace, the flowing of His Spirit, His forgiveness, His redemption, His mercy, no end to Him. He's infinite and unending. We like endings. Everything in life ends-- months, weeks, years, but the Gospel has no end because there's no end to the good news. Everything ends but Him. Sorrow, hate, pain, and sin end, but the things of God don't. So overcome the world of endings with the unending power of the Gospel of love and joy. For the Gospel isn't a movie, it has no end.
