Good News

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. – Matthew 1:1.

Matthew’s first sentence communicates the banner headline. He holds nothing back. Jesus is the Christ (God’s long-promised Messiah)! He’s the Savior of Israel (David’s son)! He’s the hope of all nations (Abraham’s son)! Call a press conference, roll the videotape, this is big news.

People with news as good as this should get prickly with excitement to tell others. Don’t be one of those who holds it in. Let the world know. Like Matthew, share the excitement. Be a missionary wherever God has put you. With your life and by your words, tell others the Good News: Jesus, the Savior, has come and he’s here today.
