Extra! Extra! Jesus Wins!
Political infighting at local and national levels, Memorial Day shootings in Chicago, missile launches, heroin, human trafficking, suicide bombings. According to the headlines, if it weren't for bad news we wouldn't have any news at all. It seems as though it will never end... but it will. It will end because He came down; into this broken world and gave Himself for our sin.
I check news websites and read 3 newspapers per. day. I can personally attest to the fact that we are perpetually bombarded with bad news. This means the people we work with, go to school with, and live near are all bombarded with bad news. But we know the whole story. We know God has not forgotten His creation. We know He has a plan. We know His plan is the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ. There is good news and it is up to us, solely up to us, to proclaim it.
I assure you the newspapers are not proclaiming this good news. Neither are the news websites or the local schools. In fact, they shouldn't be. It is not their job. It is ours…. start spreading the news. They need to hear it.
