The Messiah's Gospel - The Good News
"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that the Messiah died for our sins in accordance with the Holy Scriptures, that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Holy Scriptures."
— 1 Corinthians 15:3–4
"For the Torah was given through Moses; grace and truth (Chesed v'Emet) came through Yeshua the Messiah. No one has ever seen God; the only God who is at the Father’s side—He has made Him known." — John 1:17–18
The next day he saw Yeshua coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God (Seh HaElohim), who takes away the sin of the world!" — John 1:29
"Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other." — Psalm 85:10
(Fulfilled through Yeshua the Messiah, where God's covenant love [Chesed] and perfect justice [Tzedek] embraced.)
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." — The Holy Scriptures (John 3:14–18)
"For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Yeshua the Messiah as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Yeshua's sake." — The Holy Scriptures (2 Corinthians 4:5)
Yeshua came into the Galilee, proclaiming the Good News (Besorah) of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God (Malchut Elohim) is at hand; repent (Teshuvah) and believe in the Good News.” — The Holy Scriptures (Mark 1:14–15)
Love That Lays Down His Life (Mesirut Nefesh)
"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." — Yeshua the Messiah (John 15:13)
"For while we were still weak, at the right time the Messiah died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, the Messiah died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, through whom we have now received reconciliation." — Romans 5:6–11
"All this is from God, who through the Messiah reconciled us to Himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in the Messiah God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for the Messiah, God making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of the Messiah, be reconciled to God. For our sake God made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." — 2 Corinthians 5:18–21
This is our heartbeat: Yeshua the Messiah laid down His life, rose again, and now calls every one of us to be reconciled to God. By His blood we are justified; by His life we are saved. Until He returns, we gladly serve as His ambassadors—sharing the message of reconciliation in love, truth, and hope.
Centuries before Yeshua of Nazareth was born, the God of Israel declared through the prophet Jeremiah that the Mosaic covenant would be replaced by a New Covenant—one not written on tablets of stone, but upon the human heart. This New Covenant was not promised to the Gentile world, but explicitly to the House of Israel and Judah. Yeshua did not invent a new religion; He instituted the exact Covenant the prophets foretold.
“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah—not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant that they broke, though I was their husband,” declares the LORD.
“For this is the covenant that I will make with the House of Israel after those days,” declares the LORD: “I will put My law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD. “For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
— Jeremiah 31:31–34
