The New Testament contains a secret hidden in plain sight called the Gospel Cycle. God continually leads us through renditions of the glorious work of Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection in order to conform us to Jesus and empower us to glorify Him. As we learn of these truths, we can look back over our lives and be encouraged to see how God has been purposeful as He has replayed the gospel in us. Knowing this, we can better cooperate with God in our current circumstances.
