[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Away from all that’s wrong and harms,
turn back to God, his welcoming arms.
Good news! he’s drawing near to save –
repent, receive, his words believe,

The kingdom, rule of Christ is here,
he came to teach of love and fear,
he came to take the punishment
of all who would receive, repent.

The time is now, Jesus still calls,
there’s so much news that grieves, appals,
but he brought news that’s truly good.
Don’t miss the blessings of this Word.

A tax collector, fishermen
perceived the truth and followed him
to learn the message – later on
they’d take it out to everyone.
Tune: LM

Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said, “The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!” Mark 1:14,15

He visited the tax collector at home he liked him, his disciples were fishermen his dad was a carpenter and Jesus was a teacher, certainly then a noble calling. Most teachers I've known were very dedicated I mean to do such hard work with so little pay you have to be.

Thanks Rhiannon, always an inspiration.

Keep well x Nolan &

Thanks, Nolan. The poor and the rich listened (or some did), and were glad they had accepted.

So easy to only think of the negative aspect of repenting as to what we need to turn away (with his help) from doing, and miss the glorious wonder of what and who we are turning towards.

So much bad news, oh, that many would hear this truly wonderful 'good news'!

Evey blessing, Rhiannon
