Happy Feet

Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns. #Bible

Good news is what we all love to hear, after hearing, everything is wonderfully better. You look at the sun rising over the hills, or mountains and you are excited with what the day will bring. At evening as the sunsets in the cool breeze of summer, taking a long deep breath knowing tomorrow will be a good day, and sleep will be peaceful.
Isaiah is speaking here of a twofold idea, on one hand he is speaking of the deliverance of Israel from captivity. On the other hand he is speaking of the day when the Messiah comes.
Jesus the Messiah came preaching the Good News that would set all the captives of sin free. That their sins would be forgiven, no longer just covered or set aside, but removed as far as the east is from the west, into the sea of forgetfulness.
The Good News is still being announced even today, it is being preached all over the world informing everyone that freedom from sin is at hand, it is now.
All you have to do to be at peace with God, no longer at odds with Him, a child of His wrath, is to believe in Jesus His One and Only Unique Son, the Messiah, the Saviour of the world.
The time is short and a dark day is coming when Jesus will return to this world, this time to pronounce judgement on all who choose not to believe.
Believe and be saved!

Luk 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me (Jesus), because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Come Lord Jesus

Revelation 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, Surely I am coming soon. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! #Bible

We live our lives trying to walk with God only to be caught up in the sins that entangle us. We suffer with the daily realization that as the Apostle Paul states in Romans 7, sin resides within our mortal flesh and constantly stumbles us in its temptations. "Oh wretched people that we are". Only we know who will save us from this body of sin, and that is our Wonderful Bridegroom and Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ.
We endure, continuing on in our struggles, striving to walk the narrow path, falling occasionally, but we continue on towards that eternal prize, Eternal Life with our Father in Heaven.
Jesus is almost finished with preparing our place where we will reside with Him in eternity, and like a Bridegroom He will return to capture us away and wisk us off to the Great Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Where we will celebrate our last phase of union with our Bridegroom Jesus the Christ. Why wouldn't we long for this? History shows us that God hears our prayers and our groanings, and our cries for salvation, and He responded then and God will respond in these last days also.

" Come, Lord Jesus, put an end to this state of sin, sorrow, and temptation; gather thy people out of this present evil world, and take them up to heaven, that state of perfect purity, peace, and joy, and so finish thy great design, and fulfil all that word in which thou hast caused thy people to hope." (Matthew Henry)
