The Kerygma is a Greek work for "proclamation" or "message" that has been used to refer to the initial message about Jesus. A kerygma is a short proclamation, like the headlines in a newspaper. It is not the full story, but it gives you enough information to know what the story is about.
The Kerygma is the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The message of salvation.
5-Finger Gospel (from Archbishop Jackels)
"So I ask you: Are you looking for empty thrills in life, or do you want to feel a power that can give you a lasting sense of life and fulfillment, empty thrills, or the power of grace? To find fulfillment, to gain new strength, there is a way. It is not a thing or an object, but a person, and he is alive. His name is Jesus Christ."
- Pope Francis (World Youth Day, Krakow, Poland)
