The Gospel: easy as 1-2-3
“How beautiful are ... the feet of those who bring good news" (Isaiah 52:7).
A few years ago, I read this introduction about the Gospels. “I haven’t always liked the Gospels. ... The churches I went to didn’t preach much or talk much about them. We talked and preached about “the gospel,” which we defined as the forgiveness of sins available through Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection, but curiously “the Gospels” [Matthew, Mark, Luke and John] didn’t fit much into that; ... the main reason I was never much interested in the Gospels is because I didn’t know what to do with them” (Reading the Gospels Wisely, Ch 3). In this sermon series, we’ll “focus on Jesus (Luke’s Gospel’s), then on Paul.
First, the word gospel comes from the Hebrew word (besar). In the Greek OT, the Septuagint, the word besar is translated as “evangelize.” Besar is mentioned seven times in the book of Isaiah, (Isaiah 40:9 twice, 41:7, 52:7 twice, and 61:1 and in 60:6). Two of the seven times “to evangelize” is quoted in the NT (Luke 4:18, Rom. 10:15).
Second, “to evangelize” in Luke’s Gospel, is mentioned ten times (1:19, 2:10, 3:18, 4:18, 43; 7:22, 8:1, 9:6, 16:16, 20:1). To evangelize is used to announce Jesus’ birth (1:19, 2:10); to draw attention to John’s preaching (3:18); to inaugurate Jesus’ preaching (4:18, 43). To evangelize is used to proclaim the good news. To evangelize is the preaching of Jesus himself (4:18, 4:43, 7:22, 16:16; 20:1).
Third, to summarize, to evangelize means to preach good news about Jesus in his coming, his birth, his preaching, and it is climaxed in Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. To evangelize is to fulfill God’s plan of proclaiming the “good news” of Jesus among the nations. “How beautiful on the mountain are the feet of those who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation.” It is the verse Paul the Apostle uses in Rom.10:15. To evangelize is to lift up Jesus (1 Cor. 15:3-8). To evangelize is as easy as 1-2-3.
