The Reverse Prism of the Gospel

January 25, 2010 – 12:30 pm

Yesterday, during the evening service at Inter-City Baptist, Pas. Pearson Johnson concluded a church planters’ presentation of his ministry in Hamtramck, MI with a challenge to consider the prayer (the salvation of men and women), the hope (that the good news of Jesus is for every person), and the duty (to send preachers of the gospel to those who have not heard) that Paul presents in Rom 10:1-17.

Towards the end of the message, he spoke of the gospel’s power to unite all types of peoples in Christ, using the picture of a reverse prism. Listen to an excerpt below:

The Gospel as a Reverse Prism

God is building His church through the “foolish” preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, bending all the diverse wavelengths of His created peoples into a single, glorious beam.

“Oh the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! … For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen”

-Rom 11:33-36
