Unless you live in a cave, you cannot avoid the news. It's on television, radio, and you hear it from friends, family and co-workers. News about fires, floods, airplane crashes, murders, and so on. The media produces very little "good" news because the public loves the drama and wants to hear the sensational news stories.
Have you ever heard this lead-in on the evening news? "We start tonight with our top story we've been following for you today here on the News at 6. Jesus was born in a stable tonight and will bring peace and eternal life to all men."
Do you think this will hit the news? "Jesus was seen by every man, woman and child on earth today, as foretold in Revelation 1:7." Hmm, I wonder if that will be dramatic enough to appease the public desire for sensationalism.
We have the most sensational news on earth: the news of Jesus' soon return to take His people home. We are tasked with the responsibility to get this news out to the public. Jesus IS coming again, to rule the earth, to take us home....for eternity.
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16, New International Version)
Let the light of Jesus shine in you and around you as you share the most glorious, sensational news of all.

Very good point! The very best news needs to be announced over and over, that Jesus is coming again.
You're right! Good news is rarely appreciated...unless we're in the midst of a war. And sadly enough, we ARE in the midst of an unseen war but we carry on as though all is well. Part of the reason we're all still here, I'd imagine.
And a beautiful special music you did to go along with this message.
