THE GOSPEL

     The Gospel:  It means GOOD NEWS!  Why isn't this good news on every front page, on FOX, on ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.?  Jesus called some teachers of the law blind guides and hypocrites.  Who have we chosen to respond to, to follow?  Where are they leading us?
     Jesus said to beware of who we follow.  To be blind means there is no light.  How can the blind lead the blind?  Wait!  There is good news!  It's good and it's there and is waiting to be read.  Greater love has  no man than he lay down his life for his friends, and He said, "you are my friends."  He stood on a hill and wept, not just a few tears.  I believe He wept till He could hardly breathe over Israel and cried, "How I have longed to gather you to Me, and you would not!"
     Good news.  "I have loved you with an everlasting love."  Good news.  "There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.  Good news.,  By His stripes you have been healed.  He took all our sin, sickness, diseases, condemnation, fear.  We are whiter than snow.  Good news!
     Jesus said, "I want them to share in the love and joy that we share, Father.  I want them to see the glory I had with you before this world began."  Good news!  He says "Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.  Good news!
     "Don't be discouraged or afraid, for the Lord goes before you.  I will never leave you or fail you."  Good news!
     I could write a whole book based on the good news.  Whoops!  Someone got there before me!  That book is called the Gospel.  The Good News!  The New Testament.  We've had this good news for over 2,000 years and we still insist on filling our minds with the BAD news.
     The Lord is the Good News.  The Gospel.  He is so good!
     Matthew 11:28; Jeremiah 17:7; Hebrews 13:5, Philippians 4:4-8.
