It was a term originally used in wartime. When a distant battle took place, runners would bring messages back to the city, letting them know what was happening on the front line. Those who brought good news from the war were called evangelists: those who bring good news. The good news that your city\u2019s army was beating the enemy. The good news that your father, your uncle, your brother had survived and was headed home.<br \/>\nOver time, the word leaked into the secular world, and the Greeks would talk about the evangel of everyday experience. The good news that Dad got a raise. The good news that Mom\u2019s health scare was just that, a scare. The good news that your neighbor had a new grandchild.<\/p>\n<p>When the Bible writers referred to \u201cthe evangel of Jesus\u201d (or, as it might appear in our English translations, \u201cthe gospel of Jesus\u201d), anyone reading would have absolutely understood the word to mean \u201cthe good news of Jesus.\u201d<br \/>\nJust to be clear, the English word gospel itself doesn\u2019t appear in Scripture. That word is a Middle English word (and, as I like to tell my kids, \u201cMiddle English is, you know, what the hobbits spoke\u201d). The word was godspel. To pronounce it correctly, just pretend you are Sean Connery and maybe put a few marbles in your mouth: \u201cGaawdshpiel.\u201d God meaning \u201cgood,\u201d and spel meaning \u201cstory.\u201d<br \/>\nGospel in its original, Middle English meaning was a great translation of euangelion, because it meant something very close to \u201cgood news.\u201d<br \/>\nOver time, \u201cgospel\u201d slowly became a church-only word, but the fact remains that what the original Greek meant, what the Old English word meant, and what the modern word should mean is this: good news.<br \/>\n<strong>I don\u2019t get nervous telling people good news. I get excited. I might get nervous about \u201cthe gospel\u201d but not about good news.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe realize, of course, that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each wrote a \u201cGospel.\u201d Each writer\u2019s \u201cgood news\u201d about Jesus and the coming Kingdom was slightly different from the others\u2019 good news. There was enormous overlap in their good news, but there are some things, for instance, that John thought needed to be emphasized that no one else mentioned, and vice versa. There were things Matthew saw that Luke doesn\u2019t mention. There were experiences related by Mark that John didn\u2019t think worth including.<br \/>\nIn 2 Timothy 2:8-9, Paul says his good news is \u201cJesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David.\u201d I\u2019ve never once shared Jesus\u2019 ancestry as my own good news, but for Paul it was an essential part of the gospel. For Matthew, too! In fact, he starts his Gospel with that very thing. I wouldn&#8217;t suggest starting a conversation with, \u201cHey, do you know who Jesus\u2019 great-great-great-great-grandpa was?\u201d but I wouldn&#8217;t be mad if you wanted to try it, either.<br \/>\nEven Jesus (or maybe I should say especially Jesus) had a unique take on the good news. Matthew says in 4:23 that Jesus went from town to town preaching the good news\u2014and then, in chapters 5-7, Matthew shares Jesus\u2019 gospel presentation: the Sermon on the Mount. Imagine a gospel presentation from Jesus himself!<br \/>\nHere\u2019s where I\u2019m going with all of this: <strong>Each of us, as a follower of Jesus, has good news to share<\/strong>. There will, of course, be a lot of overlap in our stories because of the universal gospel. We all believe Jesus died and rose again for our sins. We all believe Jesus is God, sent to earth as a human because of God\u2019s love for humanity.<br \/>\nBut we also each have our own good news\u2014intensely personal good news that has come about because of our relationship with Jesus and how he has interacted with us, our families, and our communities. We have good news that comes from our history with God.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-5459 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/Meme02_GoodNewsForAChange_EveryFollower-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"592\" \/><br \/>\nRight now, I am going through a difficult time where one of my best friends is struggling with terminal cancer. It\u2019s immensely painful for me, for her family, for my family, and for her many friends. I know that doesn\u2019t sound like good news. But there have been these intense moments of peace\u2014not months at a time, not even weeks at a time\u2014just these moments where I feel God\u2019s presence and I know my friend is going to be safe and well in God\u2019s presence, whether that\u2019s here with us (our preference) or in his heavenly Kingdom. So for me, today, this moment as I am typing, part of my good news is simply the presence of God that brings peace in the midst of deep pain, suffering, and grief. That\u2019s just me sharing my experience: what I have seen and heard from God in the last few months.<br \/>\nScripture has a word for this. Jesus said we are his witnesses (Luke 24:48). And not that we will be or should be or ought to be his witnesses. No, we are his witnesses. The Greek word for witness is martus (\u03bc\u03ac\u03c1\u03c4\u03c5\u03c2). It was a legal term, used in Greek courts. If we were to try to choose the perfect word to translate martus into English, we couldn\u2019t choose a better word than witness.<br \/>\nNow, the word witness can be terrifying to us. We worry people will reject us. Or that we don\u2019t have the right words to say. Or that people might be offended or think we\u2019re saying that they\u2019re wrong and we\u2019re right. We worry the person we\u2019re talking to might know more than us.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-5458 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/Meme01_GoodNewsForAChange_Gospel-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"593\" height=\"593\" \/><br \/>\nOnce, when I preached at a church and said we would be talking about witnessing, people stood to leave. I called after them, \u201cHey! Come back! It\u2019s okay\u2014there\u2019s no need to be afraid!\u201d And that\u2019s absolutely true. To do their job, a <strong>witness only has to be honest about what they have experienced.<\/strong> That\u2019s it. <strong>They don\u2019t have to be an expert.<\/strong> They don\u2019t have to understand the law. They don\u2019t need to study for years. A good witness does one thing: share the truth about what they have seen.<br \/>\nWe see this often in Scripture, but my favorite description is in 1 John 1:1-3, where John says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched\u2014this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To be a witness is not a complicated thing. It doesn\u2019t require seminary degrees and Bible studies or books about evangelism (including this one!). It requires only that you share what you have seen and heard and experienced with Jesus. If we\u2019re terrified of it, it\u2019s only <strong>because we\u2019ve forgotten that our job isn\u2019t to convince people. It\u2019s to tell them\u2014in a way they can understand\u2014what we have seen and heard and experienced.<\/strong><br \/>\nSo, what have you seen, what have you heard? What have you looked at and what have your hands touched? Where has God showed up when you didn\u2019t have hope any longer? When has he surprised you? What did God do in your life this year .\u00a0.\u00a0. this month .\u00a0.\u00a0. this week? How has Christ changed you, your relationships, or your world for the better? <strong>What is your good news about Jesus?<\/strong> And are you ready to share that with others?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You&#8217;ve been reading with Matt Mikalatos from his book\u00a0<em>Good News for a Change: How to Talk to Anyone About Jesus<\/em>.
