Scripture
The Good News is about his Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David’s family line and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
Observation
The letter is from Paul, a slave of Christ set apart to proclaim the Good News to the Gentiles. The Good News is about Jesus Christ.
We are called by God to belong to Christ. We are loved by God and called to be His holy people.
Application
The Good News is all about Jesus Christ God’s Son.
Jesus was born into the family line of King David. He is the descendant of David of whom it was promised would reign on the throne for ever.
Jesus is both human- the Son of Man- and the divine Son of God. While He is forever part of the Trinity, He has also uniquely lived among us ad knows what it is like to be a person.
In that sense, Jesus is like us. He was tempted and tested just as we are. He faced every human weakness and overcame it all.
Finally the people nailed Him to a cross, seeking to remove His sinless perfection from them. His death on the cross became the sacrifice which takes away the sins of the world.
But death could not hold Him down. The resurrection demonstrated to the whole world that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Prayer
Thank you Lord for calling me into your kingdom and into the family of believers. Amen.
