556. Message of the Gospel

Of Philip’s message it is said, “He preached Christ unto them in Samaria, and the things concerning the Kingdom of God;” and when he spoke to the eunuch “he preached unto him Jesus.” Christ should be proclaimed in the—

1. Personality of His Divine Sonship—Act_9:20.

2. Propitiation of His Glorious Death—1Jn_2:2.

3. Power of His Mighty Resurrection—Act_4:33.

4. Pardoning of His Gracious Love—Act_13:38, Act_13:39.

5. Peace of His Holy Calm—Act_10:36.

6. Plan of His Outlined Purpose—Act_15:13-18.

7. Promise of His Practical Blessing—Act_3:19, R.V. When the Gospel is thus proclaimed, there must be results.

The hearers will either be “pricked in their hearts” to their conviction and conversion, as on the day of Pentecost (Act_2:37), or they will be “cut to the heart,” to their ultimate condemnation and consternation (Act_7:54).
