Good News- He is Jesus Christ our Lord

Romans 1:2-4
"God promised this Good News long ago through his prophets in the holy Scriptures.  The Good News is about his Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David's family line, and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit.  He is Jesus Christ our Lord."

Lord,God of all creation, eternal One.
      Lord, I deal with people all the time, and have been one myself, that say when confronted with a law they have broken, a deadline they have missed, or something about the instructions on how to operate or care for their appliances or machinery: "No one told me",  "How was I supposed to know that?", or"You're kidding, right?  You couldn't have given me that information.  I never saw it!".

      Well, Lord, no one can say that about the fact that You ARE the Good News.  You told the world back in the Garden, You saved Noah, gave the covenant with Abraham and David, You were proclaimed by angels at your birth,and by the Father Himself twice wile You ministered on earth, as well as called Messiah by John the Baptist, and then showed it when You were risen from the dead!  The Word says that ALL creation speaks of You so there is none that have an excuse.

      And yet, there are those, like I was, that heard it, even memorized scripture that said it, but in blindness and deafness ignored the meaning of it.  I then had the gall to ask why my ministers in my church never "told me"  I had to make a decision one way or the other as to whether I would actually believe and act on what I had been taught!

      Lord, precious Savior!  You ARE indeed the Good News!  Help me to help others understand that too!
