| "SURPRISING GOOD NEWS" |
|
| |
40:9 Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, fear not; say to the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!" The Message You're the preacher of good news. Speak loud and clear. Don't be timid! Good tidings. Good news. Gospel.
This gospel is not just any good news--not the good news of a pay raise, or of a good grade in school, or of the victory of our favorite athletic team, or of the happy solution to some international problem. It is the unexpected, fresh, surprising good news that God loves and has provided the means for our salvation. That love and that salvation are at the center of absolutely everything, and from that center all of life is lived. This word has nothing to do with the hopeful, brave, encouraging words we use to bolster each other through hard times and cheer one another on.
It is good news about GOD.

| I can hear that scripture being sung -- I think it's from the Young Messiah (Handel's Messiah) Tour years and years ago. So uplifting and empowering! |
