Luke 4:38-43

I MUST PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS!

“ _But he said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent_ ”. Luke 4:43-44, NIV

Sometimes, the selfish nature of man can be evident even when it comes to the things of God. People feel so comfortable with their experiences of God that they no longer care what happens to others. Some even think “Others can perish, as long as I don’t”. They have forgotten that God’s grace is enough to save all, if only we will be willing to share the good news with them. In today’s passage, Jesus healed the sick and did a lot of miracles in a city, but when it was time for Him to move to other cities, the people of that city wanted to stop Him. They wanted to customize Jesus and make Him stay in their city. But Jesus understood His calling and knew that His purpose will never be fulfilled by staying in one city. He therefore told them that it was a necessity for Him to preach the good news in other cities.
As believers, we have also been given the responsibility of making disciples of the whole world and not just ourselves or our families alone. We must be willing to share the gospel of Christ anywhere we find ourselves. We have been saved to save others and not to hoard the good news. Therefore, we all must proclaim the good news!
