Sharing the Gospel Isn’t One Size Fits All

“I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.” Ezekial 36:25-27 NIV

Key points

• Jesus is recorded as sharing the good news in different ways, with different people.
• Listen to ‘The Gospel According to the Gospels’ Real Hope series and others at Real Hope | The Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
• Hear more from Ben McEachen in his brand-new podcast of the same name ‘The Gospel According to the Gospels’, where he expands even further on these themes.

Sprinkled throughout the Old Testament are wonderful breadcrumbs leading to the prophesied location of God’s Gospel of grace in Jesus Christ.

The writings of the prophet Ezekiel are one such signpost.

Among other references to who Jesus is and what He will do, the 36th chapter features well-known promises of God to give a “new heart and put a new spirit in you”.

Discovering how this is fulfilled in Jesus is fuel for sharing the good news, as Sam Chan helps us to piece together in The Gospel According to the Gospels podcast.

Jesus is recorded as sharing the good news in different ways, with different people.

Sam is a medical doctor and trainer at EvQ School of Evangelism.

He also is a public speaker for City Bible Forum, as well as an award-winning author of books such as How to Talk About Jesus (Without Being THAT Guy).

Sam is a big fan of evangelism – and various approaches to it.

Thinking about how the four Gospels present The Gospel, Sam noted how Jesus is recorded as sharing the good news in different ways, with different people.

What does that mean for us?

Immersing ourselves in The Gospel of Jesus Christ might have inspired you to want to share your faith with others.

Wonderful. You might be further inspired by considering why Jesus shared aspects of the good news with some, and different aspects with others.
