Matthew 10:27 " What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon housetops."
The gospel of Jesus the Christ, it is the good news about salvation given to be given, shared to be shared. It is a blessing given that others might be blessed with our giving. Usefulness is the great desire of the soul of every true disciple. We strive to make known the truth of the gospel. We have full faith in the foolishness of the preaching. We know that we have received the gospel from our Lord to go out and bless others with the good news which has so richly blessed us.
All that Jesus has told us in secret we are to share openly with a dying world. Jesus has spoken to the hearts of all who profess to be His, we are to shout what He has shared with us from the housetops of our lives that all may come to know that Jesus Christ is the way. The message we have been given to share with a lost world is that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God, who suffered bled and died on an old rugged cross for the sin of the world, rose the third day morning with all power in His hands. This is the truth spoken in our hearts, and the message we are to confess with our mouth to a dying world. It was told to us in the secret place of our heart where we met the Lord for ourselves, but it is to be shared openly with all that we see, that they to might come to know the good news of salvation.
Our text makes it clear that we were blessed with the gospel to bless other with the same gospel message we were given. Too many add to and take away from the message in an attempt to make it more appealing to those who hear it. But Jesus tells us what we hear with the ear that we are to preach from the housetops. Let us get back to the simple truth of salvation, and quit promising a life full of earthly riches and material gain. Bless others with the good news of salvation.
