Preach Good News
He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor...
Luke 4:18
"Jesus went through all the towns... teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom" (Matthew 9:35).
Imagine Jesus walking from village to village and proclaiming the good news of His kingdom to anyone who would receive it. "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things" (Colossians 3:2). Jesus came to bridge the gap between man and God.
Today, we have the advantage of looking back to the cross. On Calvary, Jesus saved us from an eternity spent in Hell and brought us into the glorious kingdom of God... and that's good news. The message of the cross never changes.
Because of sin, there was an enormous breach between God and His creation. But God built a bridge through the cross. Now, instead of being separated from God by the chasm, we can have a personal relationship with Him. Galatians 3:13 says, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law."
When you share the good news, you are sharing truth already accomplished. God's love will never change. All you have to look for is God's anointed time for people to hear.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8).
It's the most wonderful gift anyone could hope for-share it!
