The teachings ABOUT Jesus
are the second gospel.
They came later.
The teachings OF Jesus
are the first gospel.
They teach us about ourselves --
that we are ALL children of God,
that we are living in God's land,
that we have what we need,
that we have nothing to fear,
that we are richest when we give,
that we are happiest when we help.
that we are wisest when we love.
I was raised a second-gospel Christian.
I'd rather be a first-gospel Christian now.

This may be one of the greatest challenges of a Western cultured ((American specific) person. Cultural baggage is always deeply rooted—but Grace has no end.
Grace abounds, as they say.
