“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; April 8, 2008

 

          When we think about the message of the Bible, what comes to mind?  Do we associate its spirit with harshness or mercy?  When we approach God’s Word, do we do so with an intense fear of being berated or with the hope of finding something peaceful?

          When Jesus left heaven to begin His walk on earth, His birth was heralded by an angel who proclaimed, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”  (Luke 2:10-11)   This gospel (or “good news” as it is translated into modern English) is at the heart of Christianity.  Is there an accountability for sin – yes and that’s a message that can’t be overlooked – yet, the best news of all is that God cares for us and is willing to develop and maintain an eternal relationship with us.

          Could we use a little good news today?  If we can’t find it in the current events, we can be sure find it in the everlasting Scriptures. 

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
