November 5: Glad Tidings.
A Joyous Work to Bring Glad Tidings to Others.
And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, "How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!"--Romans 10:15, NLT
IT WAS AT THE ORDINATION OF THE TWELVE that the first step was taken in the organization of the church that after Christ's departure was to carry on His work on the earth....
Look upon the touching scene. Behold the Majesty of heaven surrounded by the Twelve whom He has chosen. He is about to set them apart for their work. By these feeble agencies, through His word and Spirit, He designs to place salvation within the reach of all.
With gladness and rejoicing, God and the angels beheld this scene. The Father knew that from these men the light of heaven would shine forth; that the words spoken by them as they witnessed for His Son, would echo from generation to generation till the close of time.--The Acts of the Apostles,18.
Today the Saviour calls us, as He called Matthew and John and Peter, to His work. If our hearts are touched by His love...we shall rejoice to be co-workers with Christ....If we make God our strength we shall have clear perceptions of duty, unselfish aspirations; our life will be actuated by a noble purpose.--The Ministry of Healing. 480
All who commune with God will find abundance of work to do for Him. Those who go forth in the spirit of the Master, seeking to reach souls with the truth, will not find the work of drawing souls to Christ a dull, uninteresting drudgery. They are charged with a work as God's husbandmen, and they will become more and more vitalized as they give themselves to the service of God. It is a joyous work to open the Scriptures to others.--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, 118.
How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of the messengers who brings good news,
the good news of peace and salvation,
the news that the God of Israel reigns!
--Isaiah 52:7, NLT
