The Forever Glad Tidings

"Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. Luke 8:1 NKJV

The message we received from Jesus Christ the Lord is the joyful, glad, and exciting tidings of the kingdom of God. The message of the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is given to us freely, in order that we might have eternal life. The glad tidings of the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ is still spreading out every city and village around the world even in this troubled and perverted generation through the ordinary and obscure Christians who were called and sanctified by the Spirit in every corner of the world.

Our Lord Jesus Christ brought the glad tidings by the coming of Himself to the earth with humility and lowliness. The Son Jesus Christ obeyed the Father to the point of death in order to deliver the fallen race from the bondage of evil darkness. What our Lord Jesus preached was the truth and reality of life. He revealed the secret of life how to handle pressures and stress in our midst. In fact, Jesus Christ is the key to life. His name is the Bread of Life (John 6:35). He upholds all things in the universe (Hebrews 1:3)

In Him, there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). He is the Light of the world (John 8:12). He is the life, the truth, and the way (John 14:6). He is the resurrection (John 11:25). Whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). Whosoever thirsts and comes unto Him shall flow out of his heart rivers of living water (John 7:37-38).

Most of all, Jesus Christ the Lord obeyed the Father unto death, the death in Calvary. After three days, Christ Jesus rose again and seated in the highest of heavens. No power could hold of Him in the cold tomb. Jesus Christ broke the iron shackle of the devil and set free His chosen ones. He gave His life with blood in order to impart eternal life to anyone who believes in Him.

The good news is not that He died but that He lives now in us. He is the glad tidings for us not only at the time we receive Him as Lord but at all times in our lives and ages to come. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). His arms are always wide open for anyone to come unto Him and find refuge and shelter. The message of Christ Jesus the Lord stands forever!

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.” Psalm 91:1-2 NKJV
