Episode 995: What Is the Good News? | Part 3

The English noun gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon term godspell, meaning "glad tidings." It is translated from the Greek evangelion, which means "good message." Originally, the word was related to news of military triumph. –https://www.gotquestions.org/gospel-good-news.htmlWhile mainstream Christianity has a relatively narrow definition or view of the Good News, e.g., limited to the New Testament and only relating to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a broader, more scriptural perspective exists that is less taught, if taught at all.Didn't the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others preach good news? What was their good news about?If the Good News is only about the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua, why did He teach and preach about it? What did He say is the Good News?Is the Good News about the Messiah, or is it of the Messiah?As is his usual practice, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings a more profound understanding to this topic by allowing scripture to define itself just as he has done in his other teachings.• Opener• Review• John 1 – The voice of one crying in the wilderness • The complete package• Isaiah 40:1 – See your Elohim!• Isaiah 40:10 – The Good News of relationship with Elohim• Isaiah 40:15 – You, responding correctly • The Good News is for gentiles also• Isaiah 40:19 – Molding Elohim into your image• Isaiah 40:28 – Prepare the Way of Yahweh?• Isaiah 41:1 – The scattered ones will come back• Do you believe He’s that stupid?• Deuteronomy 30:11 – It’s not too hard!• The Good News was anticipated• Acts 5:42 – The Good News, Yeshua Messiah• Acts 5:14 – All the words of this life• Acts 5:30 – To give repentance to Israel• Acts 5:32 – The Holy Spirit is given to those who obey ElohimListen to the Afterburn tomorrowTake advantage of new teachings every week.
