#soap # Isaiah 52 ## Title: The Beauty of the Good News ## Scripture: (Isaiah 52:7) How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains the feet of a messenger who announces peace, a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (NET) ## Observation: Everyone likes good news. It brightens your day and provides relief from a stressful life. I have never met anyone who didn’t like good news. What is also wonderful is to be the one who shares good news. Try it sometime. Tell someone the cancer is gone, they got the promotion, or their debt has been cancelled. It will make your day watching them celebrate. This is one reason why it is more blessed to give than to receive. When you watch someone truly thankful, it blesses your heart more than theirs. The best news you can give someone is the good news of the Gospel. Try it and watch how wonderful it feels to see someone truly realize their sins can be forgiven and they can be made new. ## Application: Share the Good News with someone and watch what happens in your own heart. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for letting us partner with You in sharing the Gospel.
