I hope I never stop growing in my understanding of the Gospel. God has always been the same, and the Gospel has always been with us--what changes is my understanding of the impact it has on me, my life, the people around me, etc. Perhaps 'emerge' is the backward way of seeing it. The Gospel exists and we enter into it. It 'emerges' to us as we learn to navigate through it--as we discover new doors and new hallways. What it has to reveal is waiting for us to discover. It's exciting, really, isn't it??
I think this was from Kevin Kinsey, week 1 question 1

It's taken me forever to comment on this, because I've kept it "unread" in Google Reader, coming back and re-reading it periodically.
So finally, in response:
YES!
This post reminds me of the quote by Heraclitus of Ephesus:
"You can never step into the same river; for new waters are always flowing on to you."
That's what I've come to understand about the Gospel--it is a river of life. If new waters do not enter the stream, it gets choked off and stagnant.
Thanks for reminding me of the benefits of stepping in!
