The good News
Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come”, he said. “The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Mark 1:14-15
Repent- To turn decisively away from all known sin
Believe- To turn in faith and commitment to Jesus as King
Good News- Christ came to be crucify, raise from dead, and reign for ever
Intimate kingdom… (I like this story very much because it shows me how much God wants intimacy with us.)
Story…there was couple, loving and caring so much that they knew everything about each other. One day there was horrible fire in the house, the women got out of the house quickly but the man wasn’t quick enough. So the man was badly injured on his face and the body. After the incident their relationship changed, he wouldn’t talk much to her because of his disfigure. So the women went to world best plastic surgeon, and ask the doctor, if there is way to fix his face and body. The doctor told her that he has to see the man how bad his injury was. Woman told the man that there are ways to fix his injury, if he is willing to go and see this doctor. But the man refuse listen to woman, because he didn’t want to show his horrible face and the body to no one. The woman visited doctor many times to find the way to convince the man with every source she can get. But the man was very angry and annoyed, because he thought that she would never understand what he was going through. One day the woman visited the doctor again, but this time she asked doctor to fix her and make her like the disfigure man. So that she would understand what was man going through and maybe convince him to go to doctor with her.
I believe still this day we Christian are to share the good news to every nation we can reach. And I know the fact that there are many Christian trying to reach out to every person possible. Because these Christian, they understood how close kingdom of God is, and how good news for them to know that what Jesus Christ done for our lives. When you repent and believe the Good News.
Thanks Daehyun for that interesting story. It's incredible to think that God would send his Son in our "disfigured" form to identify with our pain and to call us back to himself. That's the meaning behind the humiliation of Jesus Christ in the incarnation. He humbled himself, that is, made himself nothing, taking upon the form of a "disfigured" servant to show us how much God cares for us.
