The Gospel-Angel Connection
Friday, March 11, 2022
The Everywhere Town
On a lonely night in the fields of Bethlehem there suddenly appeared an angelic host above the shepherds declaring the Good News! Now, imagine if the angels were more like believers. Imagine if they would say, "Well, I don't know. I can't share with the shepherds. What if they reject us? Maybe, I can just leave some tracts in the sheep pen, and they'll get them when they get back." What do the angels have that most believers don't? They dwell close to the Good News. If you are close to the Good News, you are going to share it. The word for the Good News in the Greek New Testament is "euangel" where we get the word evangelism. Notice the word angel in the middle of it. Evangel, that's not an accident. Those who spread the Good News, the Gospel, are those who are like angels and messengers of God. Therefore, they always stay close to God. Fill your heart with the Good News, your mind and your soul with the Good News. You won't be able to stop yourself from spreading it. Don't just be a believer, be an angel.

Today's Mission
Let your light shine in those chance encounters with people you see and meet today and boldly proclaim the Good News of the Messiah. The power of God is at work.

Romans 1:16
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
It’s news I’m most proud to proclaim, this extraordinary Message of God’s powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts him, starting with Jews and then right on to everyone else! God’s way of putting people right shows up in the acts of faith, confirming what Scripture has said all along: “The person in right standing before God by trusting him really lives.”
