The Bullet of Hearing: Jesus, the Good News

Nothing is more tragic than having someone send you good news and you never receive the message. A friend of mine says that the reason Jesus Christ was called a man of sorrows was that “He had so much joy and couldn’t give it away.”

God has so many fantastic promises and truths to share with His creatures that they are beyond numbering. John 1:12 says, “Christ came unto His own world but the people He created didn’t receive Him. But those who did receive Him were given power to become the children of God.”

The entire meaning and destiny of a person’s life hinges on this one great truth … his willingness to receive … or reject … what God wants to tell him.

It’s regrettable that so few people really seem to stop and think honestly about receiving the real truth concerning Jesus Christ. God has so much to offer the people who will listen.
