Good News

Isaiah 56:1-2
This is what the Lord says: “Be just and fair to all. Do what is right and good, for I am coming soon to rescue you and to display my righteousness among you. Blessed are all those who are careful to do this. Blessed are those who honor my Sabbath days of rest and keep themselves from doing wrong.

A wise man honors the Lord and does what it right. Jesus came to the earth to proclaim the "good news." He came to give us eternal life. The "good news" is just that, good news. If you receive a promotion at work, it's good news. If you have your first child, it's good news. If you get an unexpected bonus, it's good news. Jesus' life was "good news" to all of mankind. 

Why does Jesus want us to live right and do good all over the world? Because He could be coming back at any moment. We should be doing our very best until He comes back. You don't want to be caught in sin when He comes back do you? No, you would rather be doing exactly what He called you to do. People that are careful and do the right things will have so much more blessings when they enter Heaven. People who honor the Sabbath day, (which for Christians is now Sunday, because we celebrate Jesus' resurrection on Sunday) God says He honors and will bless us for that.

Remembering God for the things He has done is very important. Remembering that Jesus came as a little baby boy to proclaim "good news" to His chosen people and ultimately to the entire world is the greatest story that could ever be told. Never forget the greatest story that's ever been told. Tell as many people you can about Jesus Christ. Honor Him and keep His commands. The Lord will honor you and will bless your life.
