2 Corinthians 10:14
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:”
Χριστός
The one set apart and equipped for a specific task. Oil was poured on kings, priests and prophets in the Old Testament — the anointing meant: this one is chosen, this one is sent. Jesus stands up in Nazareth and reads Isaiah — and then says: this is Me. I am the one sent.

εὐαγγέλιον
Good news, gospel, glad tidings. Euaggelion. The Gospel is the power of God for salvation. Not just a message about power. The message itself is power when received in faith.
