If you had maybe 30 seconds, or 100 words, or some other limitation and were asked to proclaim the Good News, how would you use that bandwidth?

I offer the following summaries of some of my favorite aspects of the Good News.

Some time tonight, I plan to enter at least one of my own summaries (though it may be inspired by others should others care to join this exercise) into the anonymous feedback line from which our local newspaper runs maybe a dozen comments per day. If I word it right, I have a pretty good publishing rate (probably get at least 1 out of 3 messages published.)

Bah, enough verbage: on with the show…

(If it helps, think of it as the question, “what does the Good News say to you?”)

Take 1:

“I’ve got Good News… God isn’t all that hard to find. If you know Me, then you know Him, and if you do something for each other you have done something for Me, hence Him.”

Take 2:

“You want to do something for God? Do something for Me, like I did for you. How do you do that? Do something for another person, for no reason other than you can. (For if you can you must rejoice that God has blessed you with this power.)”

Take 3:

“Love one another as I have loved you.”

Take 4:

“Go in peace to love and serve one another.”

Hmmm. Seems I’m prone to borrowing phrases or sentences for mine…

My current signature is pretty good news. Also copied from elsewhere though.
 
God loves you passionately and wants you to be joyful and comforted. Be good to yourself and to others. Help those who need it, and fight those who would harm them. Give what you have to those who need it, whether it’s money, food, love, time, or just a smile and a knock-knock joke. Accept what others give you with love and gratitude. Mourn the dead and enjoy the living. Remember Where it all comes from and be glad and grateful.

Love Him, trust Him, laugh with Him, and let Him deal with the fine print.
