Best News Ever / David Jeremiah

 

Best News Ever Now when [the shepherds] had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. Luke 2:17   Human beings are very good at sharing new discoveries or experiences with others. We go to a new doctor or dentist, have a great experience, and tell others about it. We discover a new product that meets a specific need, and we post that product on social media so others can use it. If a group of researchers makes a new medical discovery, they publish their results for the wider medical community to assess.

Recommended Reading: John 4: 28 – 30

Ironically, the best news in the world—news which would benefit everyone—is news that we are most hesitant to share with others: the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ. One group that was eager to share this Good News was the group of shepherds who were the first to visit Jesus at His birth. “They made widely known” what had happened to them—seeing the angels and then seeing Jesus. They followed their natural human instinct to share good news with others. Be sensitive to the leading of the Spirit today. He may present an opportunity to tell someone the best news of a lifetime.   Every believer is a witness whether he wants to be or not.  Donald Barnhouse
