Gospel's Intended Purpose

When you stop and ponder, what is the purpose of the Gospel, your mind is arrested by thougths that are captivating and challenging.

Ironically, most have to pause and realize, they can not answer this question readily.

When long standing workers are asked why something is done, often they simply can say, don't know, it is how it has always been done. Often we laugh at such a notion in light of reasoning that the method is outdated and seems incongruent with the end goal.
