What is the gospel?

The gospel is: Jesus is the Lord. He died on the cross in the place of our judgment for doing wrong. He became alive again on the third day. Whoever will believe in him will be saved from judgment and sin. Won't you call on him to save you, today?

That is the gospel.

Matthew 27:1-31 - Reconsidering when we're set in our ways

Outline

"When the morning was come..."--what kinds of things do we do in the morning?
v3-10
Judas tried to repent, and the council bought a potters field with the money
v11-14
Jesus didn't argue back
v15-18
Pilate gave the people a choice between Jesus and Barabbas
v19
Pilate's wife warned him
v20-23
The council and the crowd insisted for Barabbas to be released and Jesus to be crucified
v24-26
Pilate tried to transfer the responsibility
v27-31
The band of soldiers mistreated Jesus

Key
v19

When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

Sometimes we're already set in our ways to carry out a certain activity and the Lord lets something happen to warn us. We shouldn't merely dismiss the warning and continue in our sin like we had planned.

Application
1 Corinthians 10:12

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

When something happens or somebody says something to make me unsure whether I'm going the right way, I'll reconsider it before the Lord even if I was already set in my ways.
