PROCLAIMING THE GOOD NEWS
After this, Jesus traveled about
from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom
of God.
1. Proclaim the good
news (1)
Jesus was encouraged
by the work of God. He traveled extensively with one
focus - to proclaim
the good news of the kingdom of God. People are trapped in
the kingdom of
darkness and lost in despair over sickness, sorrow, oppression,
and condemnation.
Jesus’ words are good news and show the way to God’s
forgiveness and love,
healing, new life, and eternal hope. May God’s kingdom
come to this world
and to my world.
2. Supporting the
good news (2-3)
The Twelve travelled
with Jesus, as well as many women. It was unusual. It shows
how much grace these
women experienced through Jesus and how much they
wanted to be with him
and support his work. Mary Magdalene was one woman
who was freed from
the grip of Satan’s power. Joanna took
her stand despite the
probable pressure
from Herod’s evil influence.
Once forgiven and covered with
Jesus’
grace, these women gave their hearts and lives so that grace could come
to many.
Prayer Lord, thank you for
your good news that changed my life. By your grace,
help me support the
proclaiming of the good news of Jesus so others
may experience your
grace and new life as well.
One Word Your kingdom come
