Summary

A messenger is running. He is excited and eager to deliver the good news. Before the era of fast communication, it was people who carried news quickly to far away places. This messenger is bringing good news that a new King is sitting on the throne - God himself reigns.

God

We get a glimpse back into Isaiah’s present day here. But no matter when we live or under what societal pressures we face - the message that God is King is good news. It is the good news of peace and salvation. In fact, this is the Gospel message. When Jesus preached he shared this good news - the kingdom of heaven is here!

Application

Our broken emptiness is replaced by God’s complete fullness. Whatever has fallen apart around us, when God comes into our life and becomes ruler - immediately a process of repair begins. Whether substance abuse, porn addiction, habits of selfishness leading to broken relationships, unhealthy relationship to finance, toxic beliefs, thinking, or behaviours - God is King and when he rules on the throne it is good news.
