The Gospel reaches our deepest soul. If it does not stir our passions, inspire love, music, art, poetry - who wants it? We want to worship. Can we worship deductive reasoning, or kneel in adoration before a mathematical equation? Evangelism brings the greatest thing in heaven or earth, our Lord Jesus who loved us and gave Himself for us. We were shaped to receive Him, and to love Him. That does not mean the Gospel we preach is merely religious emotion. There are contemplatives who sit like Buddha to receive mystic help from outside. They claim to enjoy a state of euphoric bliss. Whether so or not, it has nothing to do with what Christ died for. The Gospel is the message of the Cross. From it arises salvation, sound teaching, healing, concrete truth, power, joy, peace, and fulfillment. It is rational, but not rationalism. I am determined to preach nothing among you save Jesus Christ and him crucified. That is the purest wisdom of all.
