Good News

It’s not a time for holding back. Or wrestling with words before we share the Truth that sets captives free.

The time is now—for gospel-ready feet and voices. Pens and screens.

Spreading the Good News that Jesus saves rich and poor, old and young, weak and strong.

From every nation, tribe, people, and language.

Lamb of God

Lamb of God. Unblemished. Pure and holy.

Sacrificed for the sin of the world on a wooden cross.

Buried in a borrowed tomb.

Resurrected from the dead.

Alive today.

This is life and hope. Joy coming through the night.

I was privileged to hear the Good News at an early age.

But I remember the darkness of fear. Even though I knew “Jesus Loves Me.”

I stopped my mother one day. A few months before my fifth birthday.

And asked, “How can I have Jesus inside me?”

We sat down on the bed and she simply explained the gospel.

That conversation marks my life forever.

At that very moment I confessed my sin. And asked Jesus to take over my life.

Thus began a journey with the Lord that changed my concerns and dreams and plans.

I rest in the glorious truth that I am forever His. No matter what I go through.

And I’ve been through a few things at my age.

But here’s the truth. He never leaves me.

He never forsakes me.

Even in the dark places, He is there.

His Word is a never-ending treasure. His Spirit, the certain seal upon my heart and my Wise Counselor.

Such Good News.

He says, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

And He does. My feeble steps toward Him cannot match His strong stride to draw close to me and draw me close.

Do you know Him?

He is worth all you ever dreamed of being or owning.

He is worthy of your very life.

When did you first learn that He loves you? Are you sharing the Good News with those who do not know Him?
