The Gospel In A Nutshell

It’s amazing when we are watching movies or TV programs, just how many times Scripture is quoted or references are made about Jesus. The other day we were watching the movie, Mom’s Night Out. Toward the end of the movie, Sarah Drew who is the actress in the starring role and Trace Adkins, a motorcyclist named Charles are having a conversation. Sarah is a Mom who feels she is a failure. Trace, playing Charles, tells how his Mom had 3 jobs when he was a little kid. He would wait up for her to come home , so she could put him to bed. He said that every night she told him the very same thing. “He loves you, Charles. No matter who you are, no matter what you do, or how far you run, Jesus will always be loving you with His arms open wide just for being you.” Wow! There’s the whole Gospel message all wrapped up in those 2 little sentences stuck in that little comic movie. That’s the whole most important thing that Jesus wants us all to believe with all our hearts – not know it with our head but truly believe it with all our hearts. That’s the Gospel in a nutshell. It was in a place where you would least expect it, but it was just beautiful and awesome and so very true!
