"Something Baxter Kruger said has really been weighing on me lately. He
said (in my own words) Most of our theology leaves us at a place where
God could die, and we would continue on existing.
John summed this up in 1:3 - All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
We need to grasp that all things that were made, were made through Christ, which leads us to another realization. There is a seed of Jesus Christ in all mankind. Inside all, the very DNA of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell, just waiting for the revealing of the sons of men.

The very reason James said to humbly receive the implanted word (the same word John used for "in the beginning was the word (Christ) and the reason Paul said "Christ is all, and is in all". This seed of Christ that dwells in all men, is waiting for us to point them inward to discover the truth about who they are and what they've been included into.
No longer do we need to evangelize as though we're doing some great work that Jesus forgot to do, telling others to pray some prayer that isn't found in the bible. We are here to direct mankind into the fulness of adoption, and the fulness of reconciliation."

What a beautiful Gospel. And look at how we have messed it up over the centuries. Fortunately, more and more people are waking up to the Good News that does not have a hint of bad news!
