Run With the Good News
Read Isaiah 52:7
Today’s Truth
Happy New Year! In Isaiah’s day, people waited impatiently at home for any news from a battle. Messengers ran from the front lines to inform the city. From a distance, watchmen could determine if a messenger ran with good news or bad news based on their posture and speed. When the messenger delivered the good news, everyone celebrated.
Isaiah says the LORD Himself brings good news of victory! We, too, can be good news messengers or evangelists declaring Jesus’ victory. Because Jesus won the victory over sin and death, those of us who have been saved and set free can share the message of victory to the world: “Salvation is here!”
Discussion Questions
- What makes the Gospel good news for you?
- Are there people you know who need to hear the good news of Jesus? List their names. Ask the Lord for the opportunity to share it with them.
Application
There is no better time than now, during this new year, to share with friends and family the victory and hope Jesus brings.
