Our good news of Jesus

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John give us four incredible testimonies of the good news of Jesus. In their writing, in amongst their own stories, we also get a glimpse of others’ stories of the good news of Jesus.

For example, John the Baptist’s good news: ‭‭

John‬ ‭1:29‭-‬34‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.” Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”

These five verses sum up John’s good news. Such a loud and incredible testimony.

This week I hope each one of us will be able to continue to add to our story of Jesus in and through our lives. The interaction we have with others is certainly good news.

Only Jesus,
Dony
