When God Says …
“As cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.” (Proverbs 25:25 KJV)
This passage tells of the refreshing comfort of good news, like cold waters to a thirsty soul. Having been relieved by the satisfying nature of cold waters for our thirst, we can relate very clearly with this metaphor. We all experienced thirst and quenching, often. We know how relieving it is to our being.
That same satisfying nature we also experience when we hear good news from afar we haven't heard from for quite a while. Especially, the good news, that is not just from a far, but from as high as the heavens. When our Lord Jesus came down from heaven to earth, the GOOD NEWS for all creation was and is announced and declared. “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” What a GREAT NEWS it is that the God of all creation came to live among us - His creation. Yes, the King of Kings Christ Jesus our Lord, brought heaven down, so we can go up to heaven with, in and through Him. He came to save us.
Announcing the good news to the shepherds, it is written: “And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:10-14 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
