WHAT IS THE GOOD NEWS?
What was the “Good News” that Paul preached? Answer: Jesus Christ, Son of David, crucified and raised from the dead. This is the news event that we are to proclaim. For the gospel is not good advice, it’s good news. And news is to be announced. Some will believe and some won’t. But for those who do believe and accept this good news as truth, theirs is eternal life in Christ. Many of us are news “junkies,” glued to our 24 hour news stations and internet outlets. We ask if others have seen the latest football score or weather report. Yet, do we “always remember” to proclaim the greatest good news of all?
PRAYER: Dear Father, we thank You that You have saved us and made us Your Good News announcers. Help us to always remember what You have done for us through Christ Jesus. Empower us to announce the Good News to those we encounter today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
