from The Life You've Always Wanted, by John Ortberg

Jesus' announcement of the gospel is simply the announcement of the existence and availability of another dimension of existence, another world. 'The kingdom of God has come near,' he said. 'Repent, and believe int he good news.' The Good News -- the word we translate "gospel" -- is that this fallen world as we know it is not the whole story. There is another realm. It is as real as the chair I sit in and the book you read.
