“This is the beginning of the Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God as the prophet Isaiah wrote.” Mark 1:1 (NCV)

John the Baptist was sent before Jesus to share the Good News that was prophesied in the Old Testament. We are here to share the Good News of what has happened and of what is yet to come when Jesus takes His bride to Heaven.

Those living in Old Testament times probably had a hard time wrapping their minds around Jesus coming to live on earth. They didn’t have a full grasp of the miracles that would be performed or how brutally He would suffer for us.

Likewise, we have a hard time wrapping our minds around Jesus coming on a White Horse from Heaven. Capturing His bride, He will take us as Christians to live forever with Him in Heaven. We don’t have a full grasp of the mansions and just exactly what streets of gold will look like. What will it be like to sit at His feet, sing praises and worship Him forever? What awe this brings to my mind – such beauty and magnificence.

As we truly focus on the things to come it brings such an urgency to share with others. How can we let our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers miss out? Why aren’t we shouting off the rooftops of our houses the joy that is to come? We should be sharing the Good News with all we come in contact with that our Savior is Christ the Lord. Let’s live our lives differently; let’s shout the joy we have.

“Father, thank You for sending Your Son for me. Give me the courage to live my life boldly shouting from the rooftops about You.”

For His Glory
