Fantastic Friday #450 - Herald

Herald


For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles. 1 Timothy 2:5-7
 
Hark the Herald Angels sing.  That song is a wonderful melodic verse, and when you really break down the phrase, it says the following. Listen, the Announcing Celestial Beings Vocalize Melodically.  Now that doesn't have the same ring to it or roll off the tongue like Hark the Herald Angels Sing, but it does have the same meaning.  When we look at this scripture the Herald, Timothy, was bringing the Word of God to the Gentiles about how Jesus Christ is our mediator between God and us.  Can you think of how many Heralds there are in the Bible who announced the coming of Christ to be that mediator for us? What kind of Herald are you regarding Christ and His return.  You don't have to vocalize melodically the return of our Savior, but you can announce to others how He has changed you.  Be a Herald to people you meet and if you so choose, sing of His Grace.

Have a great weekend.
