The Gospel: A Message of Opposites 1.DEATH and LIFE (The Cross and the Resurrection) Colossians 1:21 : Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior SPIRITUALLY SEPARATED/ALIENATED MENTALLY OPPOSED/ANTAGONISTIC BEHAVIOURALLY REBELLIOUS/EVIL Colossians 1:22 : But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation. 2.FREE and COSTLY (Free for US; Cost Christ EVERYTHING) Ephesians 2:8 : For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-- it is the gift of God-- 3.WEAKNESS and POWER (Our weakness - His strength made perfect) 2 Corinthians 12:9 : But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 4.NARROW and WIDE (Those who BELIEVED, the few-ALL who may be saved) John 3:16 : “WHOEVER believes in him (that is Jesus) will have eternal life.” HE LOVES - HE GAVE - WE BELIEVE - WE LIVE Matthew 7:13 : "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.” HAPPY BIRTHDAY Henry Fick 26 th Salome Howard 27 th Sol Benjamin 29 th Lolleigh Coetzee 31 st There are BIBLES in the cupboard at the back of the church.
