The Best News!!

 Good morning!  I pray everyone is well.  What a joy it is to be able to worship our amazing God today! 

 The Best News!

We all know the best news in the world is the gospel news.  It is the news that Christ came to earth – that God gave His Only Son – to die on the cross and conquer sin and death for us – for me and you – and every soul who has ever lived – rose from death and is now reigning in heaven!!

Christ, the Son of God, lives.  We can come to Him freely – obey His will and have the hope of heaven!!  It is our choice.  It is always our choice.

The best news out of Maywood Christian Camp during the week of 6/20 through 6/26 is that five precious souls realized the value Jesus placed on their souls by dying for them.  They came openly and willingly to be baptized for the remission of their sins.  Angels in heaven rejoiced five times this week – over souls saved at Maywood Christian Camp. 

It is my prayer the angels rejoiced over many other souls in many other places over the world.  The gospel is the best news and souls are the most priceless of all on this planet! 

I am so thankful for the God’s word – so thankful we can read and learn about the love of Jesus and His sacrifice.  I am so sad for those who chose not to believe in the love of God.  They do not know the joy, peace, and comfort Christians have through Him. 

Life is not easy by any means.  Sometimes it is made even more difficult because we choose to claim Christ as our Savior – to walk in The Way.  We are tempted, tried, teased, and troubled because we do.  Sometimes we are punished, persecuted, and humiliated because we cherish our God.  In the United States it is not as bad as in many other countries; still, we suffer hardships for Jesus. 

Even so – EVEN SO – we know what comes next.  A Christian life is always the best life to live.  We know it is worth it because after this life, heaven awaits the faithful Christian!  The joy we have in Jesus and the peace and comfort we have in God always sustains us – always anchors us in our hope – our confident steadfast hope of incredible eternal joy!

God loves us – Jesus died for us – and the Holy Spirit intercedes for us!

This is the best news!  Hang on to it – don’t let it go; but share it!  Share the best news on earth!
