Our text this morning comes from the prophet Zechariah. I chose this text for one simple reason. It gives a beautiful and very helpful picture of the Gospel. One great need in the Church in America today is a clear understanding of the Gospel. The powerful and freeing truths of the Good News are being overshadowed either by things that are just false or by things that are merely secondary. If the Church is going to have an impact on our world once again the key will be a renewed grasp of the Gospel. And it will be clear that we are getting it again when there is a renewed sense of awe at what the Father has done through Jesus. We will accomplish the task that Jesus has given to us as His Church only by believing, proclaiming and living the Gospel. And that’s why we are looking at Zechariah today.
Please listen as I read Zechariah 3.
