Do you know the Gospel?

Have you ever wondered why Stephen in Acts 7, given the opportunity to preach to his Jewish community, never once brings up going to heaven, hell, grace vs. works, or any of the usual talking points for a western evangelist?

Nevertheless, Stephen did preach the Gospel when he said, “Look! I can see heaven opened, and the son of man standing at God’s right hand!” (Acts 7:56). With this statement, Stephen declared that Jesus is installed as Lord of the Cosmos, taking His position at the right hand of the Father.

“The Gospel” is the good news of the Lordship of Christ.
