A Welcomed Message | May 5th

 “He is a good man and comes with good news.”

   2 Samuel 18:27

  Beloved, these words were spoken by King David when he learned that Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, was approaching him with a message.

  Let it be said of us that we are good, recognized for righteousness, godly character, and a spirit that reflects our Savior. As followers of Christ, our reputation should be marked by words spoken well of us, not for personal vanity but out of gratitude to God for enabling us to bless others. Let thanksgiving be offered to God because we have served as His ambassadors, providing healing to the hurting and comfort to the sorrowful.

  We should be recognized as those who bring good news, never engaging in deceit, vain flattery, or contention. Let our words be seasoned with grace so that others welcome our presence. The good news of Christ should always be on our lips as we direct others to God, speak of His promises, and remind them of His faithfulness and goodness.

  Some may reject us because of our message of hope in Christ. Nevertheless, we will not be ashamed of the Gospel, for it is good news for all to hear.

In Christ Alone.

Pastor Wight
