The Good News

The Good News isn’t just that you have been saved from sin and death. The Good News is much more than that. The Good News sets in motion kingdom living, God's will being done on earth as it is in heaven.

You have been saved into an adventure. You have been transformed by the renewing of your mind into the kingdom. Your life has been given back to you. Your destiny has been restored. Meaning has been released. There is nothing on earth that can match the fulfilment and excitement that comes from kingdom living.

This is worth shouting about! This is worth remembering on rainy days that seem dark and foreboding. This is worth living for! This is the Good News that God wants all those who follow him to spread.

I took the black and white photo above of the road leading down from the farmhouse where my Mom grew up. Every day she had the job of walking down the road - about half a mile - to the end to pick up the mail from her mailbox. During the lazy summertime, it could take her an hour or two to complete the assignment as she often tarried along the way.
