Romans 10:14 – “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?”
Pause for a moment and reflect on your role as a bearer of good news. In a world filled with constant noise, where headlines often magnify despair, the message of hope has never been more vital. Yet, this hope isn’t confined to pulpits or church gatherings; it lives within every heart that knows Christ. Each of us, in our own way, is called to be a messenger of His love, a reflection of His grace, and a voice of peace to a weary world.
When Paul asked how others could believe unless someone shared the message, he wasn’t describing a duty for a select few; he was painting a picture of partnership. Every believer carries the light of Christ into their daily surroundings. You may not stand before a congregation, but you preach volumes through kindness, patience, integrity, and compassion. Your home, your workplace, your neighbourhood; these are the modern pulpits where faith speaks louder than words.
Often, we underestimate the quiet power of simple acts. A warm smile to a discouraged coworker. A gentle word to someone struggling. A prayer whispered for a friend in pain. These moments, though small, carry eternal weight. They reveal a love that cannot be contained; a love that points others to the source of true peace. The gospel is not only proclaimed from stages; it is lived out in the ordinary rhythms of life.
You don’t need to have all the right words or a deep theological understanding to share Christ’s love. What God seeks is a willing heart; one that listens, loves, and responds to His prompting. When you show kindness, you are preaching. When you forgive, you are testifying. When you choose peace in chaos, you are revealing His nature. Each of these actions speaks of a Saviour who transforms hearts and renews hope.
The beauty of this calling is that God doesn’t leave us unprepared. The Holy Spirit equips us, empowers us, and gives us courage to share the message of Christ in ways that touch hearts. Even when we feel unworthy or inadequate, He reminds us that our role is to be faithful, not flawless. The words we speak, the prayers we offer, and the love we give are seeds planted in hearts; seeds that God Himself will nurture in His perfect time.
Think of how a single act of kindness can ripple outward. A conversation shared over coffee might be the spark that ignites someone’s faith. A prayer offered in faith might open the door to healing. A gesture of compassion might remind someone that they are seen and loved. Every moment of grace we extend becomes a glimpse of heaven’s reality breaking into an ordinary day.
Being a messenger of good news doesn’t require a platform; it requires presence. It’s about showing up—fully, faithfully, and lovingly—in the spaces God has placed you. Each encounter is an opportunity to echo His love. Whether it’s through words or through actions, you carry the message of hope wherever you go.
So, as you go about your day, remember that you are an instrument of light in a world that often walks in shadows. Don’t underestimate your influence. God has placed you where you are for a reason. You are His chosen vessel, His representative of love, His messenger of good news. And every seed of kindness you plant, no matter how small, holds the potential to grow into a testimony that changes lives.May you walk with courage, speak with grace, and live with the quiet assurance that your life; your ordinary, beautiful, everyday life, is part of God’s extraordinary story of redemption.
Amen.
