And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Matthew 4:23
Euangelion, pronounced yoo-ang-ghel'-ee-on, is the word in Greek for what we know as the gospel or glad tidings of Jesus. And it looks like a fun word to say too! I am taking up the study of Leviticus 20 this week. If you will recall, this is the chapter where the stoning starts, so some glad tidings would be most welcome. These glad tidings of Jesus should be read and understood in the same feeling that a whole bunch of folks, mostly school-age children, are going to greet this day - joyfully and with great relief. Yes, this is the final day of the school year here in our little town. Try to remember that feeling when you read the gospel of Jesus.
What a joy to hear the glad tidings of Jesus!
