Bad News But...

DAILY I hear stories of:

Sickness.

Sorrow.

Injustice.

Misery.

Inhumanity.

Suffering.


This world's woes are many. Each day's news is hard. 

Glimpses of glorious beauty- goodness- treasure - are often buried beneath the topsoil of this earth's hideous headlines.

So we mine. 

We sift.

We think.

We believe-- there must be more.


GOD.

Hunger.

Longing. 

REVELATION: What He planned originally is NOT what has become.

SIN.

SEPARATION.

                          yet POSSIBLY

REUNION!

RESTORATION!

REDEMPTION!

RESURRECTION -- of hope. peace. perspective. 

                    through JESUS CHRIST
                                  who BLED
                                            SUFFERED
                                        DIED
                                   ROSE
                        and CONQUERED
                                      the WORST NEWS: DEATH.


 HE paid sin's incalculable DEBT 


so that all who wave the white (SELF-SAVIOUR) flag in 
genuine contrition, repentance, faith-
 may KNOW HIS


GRACE

FORGIVENESS

LIFE

          and this is the 


Good News 
that overshadows everything bad.

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
