Emphasis Preaching Journal

We are to tell the world about the tree, the tomb, and the trumpet, proclaiming the good news wherever we are and wherever we go to people living in a troubled world. Peter L. Steinke had it right when he said: "The gospel is God's remedy for a futile, decaying, and groaning world ... He's got the whole world in his hands, and on his mind, too, when he inserts the resurrection of Christ into history. The resurrection is God's will to liberate a decaying world from death: the resurrection is not our answer for our longing.
