Now to God who is able to strengthen you according to my Gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ    Romans 16:25

The “Good” in today is that Jesus surrendered Himself on the Cross to redeem us from evil and death by giving His life.  Our Good Shepherd has laid down His life for us.  God’s love gift of His only begotten Son cancelled death forever for those who believe in Him.  He is the Good Servant asking us to be His strong servants, loving Him with everything we are made of– Jesus is our strength and He strengthens us with His Holy Spirit.
