Gospel Prism

I will eventually get to writing a full piece on this subject this coming summer when I preach on the “Gracious Holy Spirit.” But in speaking with Mark Lauterbach, he told me about some of the things he’s written on the subject, and boy after reading his stuff, who needs mine? Here’s a quote:

During the waiting I was being moved toward seeing the Gospel as the center of all things. That has become the core of my biblical theology. It also furthered by commitment to the work of the Spirit. More than that, the death, burial, resurrection and exaltation of Jesus told me of the purpose for the pouring out of the Spirit in this age. The Spirit of God is the marker of the rule of Messiah and the beginning of the age in which he rules. He is a down payment on our future inheritance. My understanding of the work of the Spirit’s is Gospel Driven. He is sent into the world by the exalted Christ to apply the Redeemer’s work to his own — to call the church into being — to perfect her — to purify the saints — and to gift the members of the church for the purpose of edification. He emboldens for witness and convicts of sin.

Any way, he has written much more. All you need to do is check out Mark’s blog, “The Gospel Driven Life.”
