As the good news of our second child being on the way spread throughout the status updates and private messages of the cyber-universe of Facebook...delighted comments flooded my Profile page. Remarks of “congratulations” and “blessings from above” were in almost every statement. This is an exciting time, and our good news spread like wildfire through the dead grasses of a “burn ban” county. Everyone was eager to tell this news to someone else, and they did (evident by all the calls and texts we received just moments after posting it on Facebook)!
However, there is a greater “good news” to be told than this: the “good news” of the Gospel of Christ. No matter how elated I am about the news of my next child being on the way (when put into proper perspective) this information should be wholly overshadowed by the greater news of Christ‘s death, burial, and resurrection. It should be a greater desire of my heart to share the truth of Christ…than any other news. Although this is not always the case in my life…it should be my proper perspective every day.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). What better news can there be than that?
