IS IT A RELIEF?
Today's reading: 2 Corinthians 4-5

"If the Good News we preach is veiled from anyone, it is a sign that they are perishing." 2 Corinthians 4:3 NLT

Upon first reading of this verse, I let out a sigh of relief.  After all, it does say in the second half of the verse...it is a sign they are perishing.

Blame.

Accountability.

A release from duty.

Then a whisper in my heart told me to read it again.

If the Good News we preach...that stopped me dead in my tracks.

It's one thing to say it's a personal preference to accept or reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it's another thing to say, with a truth-filled heart, I have preached that Gospel to all I could.

Am I sharing when I can? Where I can? How I can? The unadulterated, or un-edited, version of it?

I don't think as Christians we can breathe a sigh of relief until we hear those words, Welcome in my good and faithful servant.
