Keep Spreading the News

Zechariah 9 foretells the coming of Jesus.

The prophet discusses the future victorious king who will be humble and rides a donkey.

The end of verse ten speaks of the coming king’s dominion.

Zechariah 9:10b (NRSVue) - his dominion shall be from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.

In Matthew 24, Jesus speaks of persecutions to come.

But Jesus talks about the good news of the kingdom.

That good news will be spread everywhere.

Matthew 24:14a (NRSVue) - And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations

The Lord’s reign spans the globe.

It also spans the ages, even into the future.

That is indeed good news.

Its message is rooted in truth.

And that truth must continue to be told in every nation.

Through that truth, people will be made aware of His power as sovereign.

At the same time, they will be made aware of His love.

News does not get any better than that!
