LOOKING FOR THE GOOD NEWS=IN LIFE!

 

LOOKING FOR

THE GOOD NEWS IN LIFE

We live in a fallen world-

A world FULL of sin

IT is hard to FIND

The GOOD NEWS in life

You read the daily newspaper

Or watch the news on TV

And the world

Is ripe with stories of:

murder-child molestation-violent crimes-

And EVERY kind of white collar crimes

That there is:

Fraud-deceit-libel and slander-and on-

And on-and on

WHERE do we find the good news

In the world?

Where do we find our HOPE?

WE FIND it in God-

We find it in Jesus-

We find it ONLY in God

Where the REAL HOPE is

For this world

Yet the world 

Doesn't want to believe it now

Just as it didn't want

To believe it 2,000 years ago

“Jesus said,

'….....no prophet

Is ACCEPTED in his own native place'”                                                 Luke 4:24

LOOKING for the good news

In LIFE

After John

Was put in prison

Jesus went to Galilee 

And PREACHED the good news

From God

“'The right time has come,'

He said,

'The kingdom of God

Has come near,

Repent and BELIEVE the good news'”                                             Mark 1:14-15

Believe the good news

It is NEAR

It is as close

As God and Jesus

Is to us

ALL we have to do

Is OPEN our hearts

That is where they LIVE

“LIGHT in a messenger's eyes

Brings JOY to the heart

And good news

Gives health to the bones”                                                        Proverbs 15:30

Believe the good news

Of the Lord

Bring HEALTH to your body-

To your mind-

And to your spirit

“........The people were looking

For him

And WHEN they came

To where he was

They tried to keep him

From leaving them

But he said,

'I must PROCLAIM

the good news

Of the kingdom of God

To the other towns

Because that is why

I was sent'”                                                                 Luke 4:42-43

Do you ever feel that way

FEEL like Jesus?

I KNOW that I do

I know that I feel

MY PURPOSE in life

Is to tell-

The GOOD NEWS of the Lord

ALL OVER AGAIN

To anyone and EVERYONE in life

That will listen

What could be more important

Than our salvation?

Than LIVING for all of eternity

With God and Jesus

WELL we have the good news

Of the world-that we see and hear everyday

And we have the GOOD NEWS of the Lord

In the bible-maybe more of us

Should take the time

TO OPEN IT UP

Dear Lord-WE PRAY

HELP us to be unconcerned

About what others think of us-

About we say and do

And to SHARE the good news

Of the Lord

WE are all looking

To FIND the good news

In life

Dear Lord-The GOOD NEWS IN LIFE

RESTS in you
