Isaiah 52-53

"We sure could use a little good news today." With that though Ann Murray closed out her hit song from the early 80's; a song that struck a chord of familarity with many people. Too often we only hear the bad news and we grimis when we see a messenger who only offers bad news. But we rejoice to hear the footsteps of one who carries good news. As believers we have news better than Isaiah could offer. We have the news of eternal hope in Jesus. That is, as the angels declared, good news of great joy for all people.
It took me about 7 minutes to read this passage.
