HI All

John 3:16 is probably the best known bible verse stating  "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life”.This tells us that 

the whole world is the object of God’s love. Though Jesus was sent first to the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24; Romans 1:16), it was so Israel might be ready to fulfil her role of being a “light to the Gentiles” (Isaiah 42:6; 49:6). From the beginning, “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself” (2 Corinthians 5:19). As Christians this is what we know to be 

The "good news of the gospel",that God sent Jesus Christ to provide a way for humanity to be reconciled with Him, overcoming sin and death through His sacrifice and resurrection. For Christians, it means that through repentance and faith in Jesus, all believers receive forgiveness, eternal life, and a new spiritual life as children of God, who are freed from the consequences of sin. We live in a world today that needs to hear “Good News"and there is no better news than “God so loved the world.”  Let's look for a way to share that message today.

The Good News

And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

(Luke 24:32)

The Gospel is the Good News. But good news is most impactful in the face of bad news. Never was there a clearer example of good news cancelling out bad news than in the story of the Emmaus road.

The disciples in Jerusalem had been overwhelmed with the bad news of Jesus’ death. Many who had been in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover were returning to their homes with heavy hearts. Two such disciples were walking the seven miles from Jerusalem to Emmaus when they met another man they didn't know. This man seemed to be unaware of the events surrounding Jesus in Jerusalem. But as they broke bread together, He gave them good news: Everything that had happened was just as the Old Testament had foretold. And their eyes were opened to see that it was Jesus speaking to them!There is no better news to be had than what is learned by meeting with Jesus and understanding His Word. Make it your daily practice to meet with Him.

"Christ" is figured in the law, foretold in the prophets, and fulfilled in "The Gospel”.
