TODAY'S BARGAINOMICS BIBLE PASSAGE

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Most people are familiar with these first four books of the New Testament known as the Four Gospels. These men were divinely inspired to write their accounts of the Gospel, or Good News, of Jesus’ life on this earth.

But did Jesus’ life end when He left this earth? No more than it began when He was born a tiny baby. Jesus Christ “was, and is, and is to come” (Revelation 4:8b, NIV). His life had no beginning and will have no end. As Jesus Himself put it, “before Abraham was even born, I Am!” (John 8:58b, NLT). This Jesus left this earth and returned to His Father in heaven to “prepare a place” (John 14:3a, ESV) for those of us who have trusted Him as personal Lord and Savior.

If you’re still here, you’re still on mission for the Lord Jesus Christ. Our former pastor once said, “There must be FIVE Gospels in your life: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and YOURS. Every day you write a part of your Gospel. What does your Gospel say?”

Whether you acknowledge it or not, whether you like it or not, your life is truly the fifth Gospel. Every thought, word and deed is being recorded not only in heaven but in the observations of those around you who know you profess to be a child of God. 

Go ahead right now and put your name on that fifth Gospel: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, [YOU]. How’s your present chapter looking?

“For I am the least of the apostles… But by the grace of God I am what I am” (I Corinthians 15:9a, 10a, NIV).
