Do You Know the Good News?

Meditate.

God promised this Good News long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures. The Good News is about his Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David's family line, and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 1:2-4

The Good News is Jesus is the Son of God. He was born as a human baby of a virgin, Mary, into King David’s family. We just celebrated His birth—that is what Christmas is all about. His ministry on earth lasted just over thirty years where He went about doing good and teaching as Jesus told John’s disciples. The Good News is the salvation offered by the Messiah—who was Jesus.

Then he told John's disciples, "Go back to John and tell him what you have seen and heard--the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor." Luke 7:22

The Garden Tomb - Jerusalem
It is empty.
Jesus is Risen - He is Risen Indeed!

Jesus, the Lamb of God, was crucified as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind. But He did not remain dead forever…on the third day after His death He was raised from the dead. Then fifty days later He ascended into Heaven where He is seated at the right hand of the Heavenly Father. The really great part of the Good News is that those who believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior become an adopted part of God’s family and will live with Him in Heaven eternally—forever. Forever is a long time—almost more than our finite minds can grasp.

Prayer ~ Jesus, I believe in You…as the Son of God and as my Lord and Savior. You promised that You would return when our home in Heaven is ready. In Your Father's House are many rooms. John 14:2. I’m waiting patiently for our Father to send You to gather up and take Your church to Heaven…the Rapture! Come quickly, Lord.

Verse of Salvation ~ Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place. 1 Corinthians 15:1-2
