Just Words
Learn about the Gospel through six metaphors that are applicable to virtually all of life's contexts.
The Gospel is more than words. It is the dynamic, saving action of God in Christ Jesus through any of its various forms: Word or Sacrament. The Gospel is more than words, but it is still words--words about the Word made flesh for us, words that convey the Word made flesh to us.
Is the Gospel just words? Hardly! But it is words nonetheless.
