A “Good News People”

As we approach Easter weekend, we want to pause and remember that the life, death, resurrection, and reign of Jesus is truly “good news” – on Easter, yes, and also in everyday life, all year long. But amidst competing worldviews, everyday busyness, and a context that prioritizes values over beliefs, it’s easy to relegate that “good news” to Sundays (or perhaps for some, this one Sunday annually), and live as if other forms of “good news” are better, more impacting, and more applicable to Monday - Saturday life, the rest of the year. 

Even the Bible, church community, and religious practice can replace the gospel as our priority. In short, we don’t always truly see the gospel as good news, which impacts every aspect of life, and infuses our faith practices, conversations, and relationships.
