「As cold water to a weary soul,

　So is good news from a far country.」　Amen.

　It is nice to hear good news. A person we thought was dead is alive. A disease that you thought could never be cured is cured. A school you thought you would never get into was accepted. It is good news that brings back to life the heart that had been sinking. The gospel is also good news. The cross of Jesus also saved me from sin and led me to eternal life. He clearly showed me the purpose of life.

　May we stand by the cross today....　

God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
