For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.
- 1 Thessalonians 2:4 (NLT)
“Don’t shoot the messenger.”
Have you ever wondered where that phrase even got its start?
Google is your friend but sometimes it too can be misleading.
I believe the original meaning was that we should not bring harm to people that are merely delivering news be it good or bad.
We are called to be messengers, but the news we bring is so very good – it is the news of a Savior, a resurrected King and of eternal life in Heaven with the Father.
That being said, not everyone views this news as good – there are still people out there that don’t believe, they don’t want to believe and they are quite offended if we try to tell them about our God.
You know what?
I don’t care and neither should you.
We are to tell His story, to share His word – this is pleasing to God.
There are still places in this world where being a Christ follower can get a person thrown in prison or killed, the United States is not one of those places so if you live here you are blessed and you should share!
