The good news of Jesus is good news because it turns a person from darkness to light from the power of Satan to God and because of faith, it brings forgiveness of sins and membership in God’s family.

True faith is found in a person who prays alone to God when no one is looking, there is nothing to gain, and no one sees you.

Jesus brought light because people lived in spiritual darkness, bound to false expectations, sin, guilt, shame, prejudice, and the devil.

Paul’s mission after meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus was ‘to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God.'

If we have the light of the world, Jesus, then his light opens our eyes and seeing ourselves clearly, we can see others clearly.

God makes himself known through the good news about Jesus that he is alive, that Jesus died for sin, and that Jesus brings forgiveness.

The death of Jesus accomplished something. It was something real, something personal, and something eternal and what he did meant our lives could be turned around, changed, and made new.

The worst place God can send us is back home, to the people who know us best, so they can see a life transformed by Jesus, whether we like it or not.
