The story of Jesus is the Gospel: the eternal Son of God became human, was born of the virgin Mary, lived without sin, taught God’s truth, performed mighty works, died on the cross for our sins, and rose bodily from the dead. Through faith in Jesus Christ, people receive forgiveness, reconciliation with God, and eternal […]
Marcus Borg was an Episcopal theologian and author known for interpreting Jesus, Scripture, and the resurrection through a progressive Christian framework.

Luke 8:1-3 describes Jesus traveling through towns and villages, proclaiming the kingdom of God, while the Twelve and several women followed Him and supported His ministry from their own means.

Luke 9:51–62 teaches that Jesus deliberately set His face toward Jerusalem and called His followers to wholehearted, immediate, and persevering discipleship.

Through His death and resurrection, Jesus gives forgiveness, a new identity, and eternal life; therefore, Christians are called to trust Him, obey His Word, and live for His glory.
