Although Jesus sometimes spoke amazing Words that could not be understood by His listeners, our presentation of the Gospel should not be like that! The Gospel needs to be clearly proclaimed in our Churches and by our Churches to the World. This simple Gospel still has the same life-changing power as it had in the days when Jesus walked upon the Earth. Whether as a Church, or by personal testimony, we can still proclaim the Gospel. We also need to remember that the Gospel means "Good News" and that is how it should be presented and proclaimed; as "Good News"!
