Acclaimed international evangelist Reinhard Bonnke compares those who scoff at the simplicity of the Gospel message to those who mock the threat posed by a downed high-tension power line. Seeing it lie there, it would appear harmless at first glance – nothing about it indicates any great potential. But, Bonnke says, dare to take hold of it! Then it will be clear how powerful it is in reality. No one who has been touched by it would ever deny its potency. The same can be said of the Gospel.
Some would treat the Gospel as just one message among many, one way among many, or one spiritual perspective among many. But in reality, the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is unmatched in all of history and human thought. No other message can truthfully say what the Gospel can.
Furthermore, no other message bears the irrefutable proof of divine confirmation. Miracles follow the preaching of this Gospel because it is no mere human philosophy or simply a nice teaching among countless others. It is the power of God. When it is preached, that power is unleashed among people.
“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…” Romans 1:16
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
I Corinthians 1:18
