Pastor’s Pen

My parents warned me years ago. Especially when I began to earn my own money and began to see the glitter of all the special things present out on the market. They warned me, “If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is too good to be true”. We have all heard of schemes to lose weight, get rich quick, gain muscle without working out, snake oil to heal what ails you, and a multitude of other “too good to be true” offers. I have discovered a particular offer that sounds too good to be true, but in reality, keeps the promise that it makes. It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Matthew Henry said, “The gospel is good news, worthy of all acceptation, and yet not too good to be true”. How wonderful to know that the news announced to a hillside in Bethlehem is still good news to be proclaimed today and has given us eternal life. Let’s go spread the Good News!!  Jesus Saves!!
