How would you, in your own words, explain to someone sitting next to you on the airplane or standing with you in the elevator what the Gospel is? How would you synthesize the meaning of the Gospel, and what is Jesus’ role in it?
Briefly discuss the practical ways you see this Gospel influencing our culture today. Considering we now live in a post-modern, post-Christian society, reflect on the teachings of Jesus (focus on His parables found mainly in the synoptic Gospels—Matthew, Mark, and Luke) and discuss how these teachings either confront or inspire our contemporary world. Utilize examples from your professional or personal experiences to highlight your thoughts.
