"The One who brings Good News"

 

The Hebrew language has a wonderful word. "M'vaser" means "one who brings good news." 

That is what Jesus Christ, Jeshua Messiah, Isa Mesih, Jesus Cristo did. He brought us good news. He came for people who needed him and brought news to those perishing in body, soul, or spirit. 

Psalm 126:5-6 indicates the task is not always easy. "Those who go forth in tears shall reap joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing. He will come bringing his sheaves with him."

Why the weeping? Because any farmer knows how hard the first part of the harvest is. First, there is the breaking up of the hard soil, digging the right depth, planting the seed, caring for the field, chasing away the birds, and cleaning the field of weeds. 

Do you know a farmer who gives up before harvest time?

But for the M'vaser, there is great joy. Prayer helps us prepare our speech. Intercession breaks down the fallow ground in our hearts. Tears mark the deep divisions we often hide from others, even our family and friends. But there's a promise, folks!

The M'vaser will rejoice with sheaves in his or her arms. May the Lord bless you as you think this year of where you will be sowing the good seed!
