The Gospel and the World

Gary responds to a recent podcast from pastor John Piper about the gospel going to the world. Pastor Piper is answering a question about what it means that the gospel had been preached to the "world" and to "every creature under heaven" in Colossians 1. In his answer, Piper compares Colossians 1 to Matthew 24:14, and looks at the Greek in Colossians but not in Matthew. Gary points out that eschatology affects our gospel and missionary presentations, as well as how the Bible itself is translated.
