This is My Gospel – Lectio Divina

October 13, 2013 By Jean Wise

Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David – this is my gospel.

2 Timothy 2: 8



This is my gospel.

Lord, I had to reread this sentence several times.
I know Your gospel.
I claim our gospel.
But using the word “my” sounds so real, intimate and “can I believe it really is true” joy filled.
My gospel.
The good news belongs to me.
Me!
Jesus died for me.
Jesus defeated death for me.
Jesus rose from the dead and now lives for me.
Wow. Amazing news.
I possess an incredible gift from you, Lord.
Life giving, life saving, life deepening good news.
Love giving, love saving, love deepening transformative awareness.
This line could be should be lyrics to a magnificent love song.
You the Lord of the universe,
Savior of so many more deserving than me,
Beloved,
Master, and
Friend –
wait patiently for me to simply reach out and run into your arms.
You are mine.
I am yours.
I belong to you.
And the mind blowing, staggering news is – You belong to me.
You are my gospel.
I sing at the top of my lungs and from the deepest portion of my soul –
You are my gospel.

    Beautiful, Jean. Indeed, Jesus is “Savior of so many more deserving than me.” But, loving Shepherd that He is, Jesus comes after the wayward one (me!), even if 99 wonderfully compliant sheep are already in the fold. Thank you for shining the light on this truth!

    “my” gospel – it does sound so intimate, so personal, almost too good to be true. But thank God it is true! Love this post, Jean. Gives me chills this morning.

    Dear Jean
    Oh, He is just about everything for through Him and for Him and by Him everything was created. But what makes this Gospel the best ever is that He now lives in us and we live in Him!

    Amen, Miss Jean. My pastor was in Luke 4 last night, and he reminded us of the fact that Jesus was appointed to preach the Gospel, and so are we as His ambassadors.
