It keeps happening.

It happened last night again. I heard [Tullian Tchividjian](http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/tullian/?ref=dashhouse.com) tackle the question, “How can I know for sure that I’m a Christian?” He reminded us not to look within. “Looking within is never going to give you the assurance that you crave,” he said. He told us of the standard: “Progress won’t elicit a ‘not guilty’ verdict from God. Only sinless perfection will.” And then he pointed us to Jesus. “Don’t look at the blood, sweat, and tears that you shed for Jesus; look to the blood, sweat, and tears that Jesus shed for you.” He bombarded us with the good news of the gospel once again:

> Well may the accuser roar  
> Of sins that I have done  
> I know them all –   
> And thousands more –  
> Jehovah knoweth none!

It happened a couple weeks ago. My friend Dan MacDonald was giving a few of us a preview of the message he’ll be delivering at our upcoming [Good Friday service in Toronto](http://torontogospelalliance.com/?ref=dashhouse.com). As he spoke of the gospel, I found my heart moved. I know it; I never get tired of hearing it. It continues to amaze me no matter how many times I hear it again.

It happens quite regularly as I come to communion and hear the words: This is the body of Christ broken for you; This is the blood of Christ shed for you.

J.D. Greear got it right yesterday when he [said](https://twitter.com/?ref=dashhouse.com#!/dandarling/status/180013637518360576), “The gospel isn’t the diving board of Christianity. The gospel is the pool itself.”

I’ve never found the bottom of that pool.

I pray that God will keep raising up preachers who major in the gospel. And I pray that I’ll continue to be amazed by the gospel, the good news that never gets old.
