Old Timey Good News

Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

It's part of a verse today and I didn't give the reference to you. However, one can easily see this must be one of Peter's or Paul's commands or even one line of those famous benedictions. Some of you Bible scholars are already thinking, "No, I think that is from somewhere else..." Right you are! A thousand years before our Lord was born in Bethlehem, even before Micah had indicated by the word of the Lord that little baby Jesus would be born there, David said this in the Psalms and in 1 Chronicles 16:23. The news of our Lord's salvation was already some old timey good news when Jesus was born; the people of David's time just had to wait a bit before the good news would come to the Earth. We also celebrate the old time good news of the Bible, and we too are in a waiting period for His return.

How long will it be? I do not know! Not knowing the date and hour of His return is fine by me. Every preacher and charlatan who has claimed to know the day has turned out to be a quack, or worse a murderous false prophet. Like our spiritual ancestors in David's time, we can wait in the Lord!

Happy Monday in Christ!
