What is GOOD NEWS for you today?

- Summer finally come late

- Signs of recovery in economy …

- Swine ‘flu’ on wane …

 

as Reading from Mark 1 says:           Jesus went about proclaiming the GOOD NEWS of GOD’…

 

What is this GOOD NEWS of GOD? … he goes on to SAY in vs. 15…

… The time has come … GOD’S KINGDOM is NEAR …

 

GOD’S GOOD RULE … COMING HERE & NOW

… That MEANS FREEDOMGOOD GOD … sets PEOPLE FREE from BAD paths of LIFE

This is GOOD NEWS of GOD’S KINGDOM…

…LOOKING at how this GOOD NEWS of GOD’S RULE …  brings FREEDOM …

 

Here right at START of JESUS’ Ministry … SAYING this is WHAT I AM ABOUT ... bringing GOD’S RULE of FREEDOM

 

… NOT JUST SAYING IT … but ALSO DOING IT …

THIS IS GOOD NEWS shown … BY WHAT he then DOES

seen in REST of Mark 1.

 

JESUS brings FREEDOM of GOD’S RULE in at least 6 different ways:

 

  1. vs. 16-20 FREEDOM to BLESS …

to GIVE … CALLING FOLLOWERS …  

 

For all of us who FOLLOW JESUS can BLESS OTHERS with HIS LOVE by HIS Holy Spirit

                 

  1. vs. 21-22 FREEDOM from CONFUSION

JESUS TEACHES clearly … makes SENSE & HAS AUTHORITY …

 

MESSAGE of J’s LOVE very CLEAR … to those who seek … through things like START … & ALPHA …

  1. vs. 23-27 FREEDOM FROM EVIL POWERS…

There are EVIL Spirits …

that trap people in destructive behaviour …& afflictions …

… Can be seen MORE clearly maybe in other parts of the WORLD

Jesus can & does set free … nothing is stronger than HIM …

  1. vs. 30-34 FREEDOM from SICKNESS …

Jesus heals SIMON’S mother in law …

… JESUS did and does HEAL the sick …

  1. vs. 35-39 FREEDOM from OTHERS EXPECTATIONS …

Jesus HELP ME NOW”… NO NEED did not SET AGENDA …FATHER GOD did … as JESUS PRAYED … so for HIM TIME to GO to NEARBY VILLAGES … instead of meeting the DEMANDS at the DOOR

… important PART of BRINGING in GOD’S KINGDOM …learning to LET GOD LEAD & GUIDE … & SHOW the WAY …

  1. vs. 40-44 FREEDOM from ISOLATION & DISCRIMINATION … Yes about Leper being Healed … but also NO LONGER an OUTCAST …

… Jesus still breaking down barriers between people …

         

… Kingdom of God … is GREAT GOOD NEWS … JESUS brings AMAZING range of freedoms … by BRINGING GOD’S GOOD RULE ...

… & many more E.g. ... freedoms from: fear … & despair

 

GOOD NEWS is these freedoms are for us … as we WELCOME GOD’S Kingdom…

by REPENTING & BELIEVING vs.15 …

BUT MORE they are for SHARING … we can all ENJOY FREEDOM to BLESS …
