And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. The most important thing is that I finish my work. I want to finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do—to tell people the Good News about God’s grace. Acts 20:22-24 NIV/ERV
POEM: 'THE GOOD NEWS' by Deborah Bell.
Blasting through the airwaves… for those who want to hear
The sound of unrest… strife and pain… uniting hate with fear
So loudly it shouts out the claim that this is now the norm
That in this modern century… you lay down and conform
Our ears are being filled with every evil action known
And by the time we hear it… it is warped and overblown
It seems they have a goal to send out panic in the air
But any good or Godly deed they choose to never share
Why is good so hated? Why is it disdained
Why was Jesus crucified for truth that He proclaimed?
When He was jeered and hate revered they made a statement strong
That man without the Maker will not choose right over wrong
And though they try to silence Him who stands as the Supreme
His Word goes forth without delay to ransom and redeem
A mighty wondrous power sent to those who don’t refuse
To heal their heart... when He imparts… His gospel of Good News…
Praise & Prayer to share the Good News
What the world needs now is to hear the Good News (Gospel) of Adonai's amazing grace and unfailing love in Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus, I remember when a friend shared the Good News with me and told me about God sending You from heaven to seek and save sinners like me from the pit of darkness. My heart was immediately filled with hope, and the chains of hopelessness were broken. I praise You for conquering the powers of sin and death at the cross to give all who trust in You the hope of eternal life. Holy Spirit, please help me to finish life as a follower and lover of Jesus like Paul. Guide me today to someone who is hurting and depressed because of some bad news they just heard. Allow me to be a source of comfort for them so that I may have the opportunity to share the Good News. I pray for their salvation in the mighty name of Jesus my Messiah and Savior.
