Spread Good news
We all love to get good news. A new child has been born, a son graduated from Law school, a son that was lost is now found his way back to the Lord, your wife got a promotion on her job, a doctor’s report was good, your favorite team won the championship game and a daughter is getting married and on and on. We as human beings just love good news and we love to celebrate good news.
Paul says in Romans 10:15 ‘shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
‘And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.’ (Acts 13:31-33)
The Gospel is not old news, But Good News that needs to be told over and over again. When was the last time you gave someone good news? It is time we start telling the Good News, of the Gospel. We are living in perilous times, when it’s a rarity to hear good news. There are times when I tune into the local and world news, that I find myself saying, is there any Good News?
We need to know that every day, somebody needs to hear some good news, The Gospel. The First Century church turned the known world upside down with this Good News, the Gospel. Let us to continue with moving boldly forward with their example in mind. “GO YE” STILL MEANS “GO ME”
‘And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying. All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.’ (Matthew 28:18-20)
Family, it is important to remember that we can be a transformative force in this world when we encounter people with problems, heart aches and pain. We have some good news to offer them. It’s been a blessing to become acquainted with Jesus Christ. A healer, a forgiver of sins, a redeemer, a mentor, a brother, father, mother and friend. Let’s tell others about the good news that is Jesus the Christ sometimes. It’s news that can truly transform lives and the world in which we live.
