Isaiah 52:7 - The Beautiful Bearer of Good News



How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7)
Everyone loves good news: “The baby came, and she’s beautiful!” “We’re getting married!”

Goods new can be especially good when it involves the avoidance of something negative… “Your tests came back, and the tumor was benign.” “I’m only going to give you a warning ticket."

And something is always special about the bearer of good news. Suddenly that person is our new best friend!

If you think about it, we as Christians bear the best news ever: Jesus died for our sins, and we can be assured victory in this life, and a place in Heaven, if we trust in Him! 

And the bearer of this good news is truly someone special, because that person has brought news that changed the life of the recipient forever!

Christian, it's a beautiful thing to partner with God to bring salvation to another human being, to bring glad tidings of good things, to proclaim salvation.

The stakes couldn’t be higher - you’re saving them from eternity in hell.
The blessings couldn’t be bigger - you’re offering them eternity in heaven.

Consider that this week as you pray for the person you’re going to invite to Easter Service!

“We can change the world, one life at a time..."

Pastor Clay
