The gospel message is powerful, liberating, and full of God's blessings and everyone is expected to embrace it. On the contrary, however, there are peoples and nations of the world that hate the gospel and go to great lengths to stop its propagation. Today's Morning Devotion makes it clear that the gospel is so hated because, as light, it exposes the evil works of men. It is hated because of its offensive and invasive nature to men who practice evil. It remains however the solution to man's freedom. January 6, 2023.
