The Right Hand of God | Luke 24:44-53 with Lars Olson & Dr. Chris Croghan

We talk about "the Gospel" quite a bit on Scripture First, but it may be a fair question to zoom out and ask, "If you had to define it in one sentence, what is the Gospel?" 

Luckily, Jesus does this for us by giving us the Gospel—in its totality—in a single sentence. Our guests, Lars Olson and Dr. Chris Croghan, say this definition of the Gospel is so good that it serves as the mission statement for all churches. 

Then, we talk about what it means for Jesus to ascend to God's right hand and launch His power back into the world. 

Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:

• What is our captivity?
• What does it mean to proclaim Jesus to all nations? 
• Why are the disciples joyful about Jesus leaving?
