(Announce The Good News About The Son Of God)
TO THE BIBLE: Romans 1:2-4 TLB
“This Good News was promised long ago by God’s prophets in the Old Testament. It is the Good News about his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who came as a human baby, born into King David’s royal family line; and by being raised from the dead he was proved to be the mighty Son of God, with the holy nature of God himself.”
LET’S TALK
Romans 1:4 (TLB) says Jesus was announced as the “mighty Son of God, with the holy nature of God himself….” He’s alive forevermore!
Something else so beautiful to notice is the actual meaning of the phrase “Son Of God”; it means God in human flesh. And that’s why the Jews crucified Jesus because, by their law, Jesus made Himself equal with God when He said He was the Son of God. But He is Himself God; that’s what the Bible shows.
Titus 2:13-14 NIV calls Him “our Great God”: “While we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.” This is the Jesus that I tell you about today.
In Acts 1, after His resurrection, as He spoke with His disciples and answered their questions, the Bible says, “…He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight” (Acts 1:9 NIV).
They saw Him go up to heaven; He didn’t suddenly vanish; He levitated before their eyes. Hallelujah! The Bible says, “…They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going…” (Acts 1:10 NIV).
That was the most amazing thing to ever happen in this world: Not only did He rise from the dead but He also physically levitated—and they watched Him as He went up into heaven. Glory to God!
The Bible says two men appeared in white apparel and said to the disciples: “…Why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). This is the same announcement we must make to the whole world today.
Tell everyone throughout this world that Jesus was raised from the dead and that He ascended to heaven. He’s coming back again! Let those around you know that Jesus is coming back again, and it’s sooner than they imagine.
