The Apostolic Gospel Tradition

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received:
that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
he was buried,
he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
and he appeared to Peter, then to the twelve.

1 Corinthians 15:3-5

The Elevator Gospel

If you were on an elevator with a complete stranger who asked you to explain the Gospel, what would you say? If you had only 30 seconds, had to reduce the Message to its simplest form, what would you say?

Another way to put it: if you could only share 2 or 3 verses from the Bible to explain the Gospel, what ones?

How do you understand the Gospel? How would/do you articulate the Most Important Message Ever?
