The Good News of Jesus Christ

THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST What does it mean to be good? Smile, serve and love, but what does it mean when under your skin it is raw and meaningless? Do you hand out benefits… do they say “You're as good as gold?” Do they take your paper, chew your food? Doesn’t the bible tell you not to crave a ruler’s delicacies? But isn’t it good to be in the high back chair…? What does it mean to be good? Is it to live by today’s standards? Sin is defined as “missing the mark” - the arrow can be all around, even close to the center, but unless it is in the center you have lost. Even when you do good. Yes, you can do good to mankind, but it is meaningless unless you are covered with the divine - the Spirit of the living God gained when you believe in Jesus Christ and receive that same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. Unless you do that your good works are dead. It profits you nothing to look good to man who perishes like the morning dew. The good news? It’s not too late to give your life to him. By the way - he owns the whole estate and his saints will be blessed for all eternity. Why wait?! If it was gold, you’d sell all to seek it. You need to speak it - believe in your heart, confess with your tongue that Jesus Christ is Lord, carry your cross and follow him. There is nothing here on earth to lose. There is everything in eternity to gain. 1/21/2023
