How would you describe the gospel in exactly 140 characters? Post it on Twitter, and leave a link to your Tweet in the comments below.

Here’s my entry in exactly 140 characters:

The world, once whole, then broken. Jesus came, suffered, died, lives. Yahweh’s creation restored. Spirit alive in us, in spite of us. Life!

Hat tip to @copyblogger for the 140 character writing contest concept.

Paul: Christianity is not about what you do, but what God has already done.
