Bible verses about receiving good news

Here are some Bible verses about receiving good news:

1. "And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that Jesus was sitting at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, 'If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.' And Jesus answering said to him, 'Simon, I have something to say to you.' He replied, 'Teacher, say it.' Jesus said, 'A certain creditor had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?' Simon answered, 'He to whom he cancelled more.' And he said to him, 'You have judged rightly.' Then turning to the woman, he said to Simon, 'Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but she has kissed my feet and anointed them with ointment. How she has loved me! Your sins are forgiven you.' Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, 'Your faith has saved you; go in peace.'" (Luke 7:36-50)

This passage is often referred to as the "Woman with the Alabaster Flask" and is a beautiful example of receiving good news. The woman, who is a sinner, is forgiven by Jesus and receives a message of hope and redemption.

2. "And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying, 'Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and suffers severely; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water. I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.' Then Jesus answered and said, 'O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.' And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was cured from that very hour. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, 'Why could we not cast it out?' So Jesus said to them, 'Because of your unbelief. For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.'" (Matthew 17:14-20)

This passage is an example of receiving good news through healing and deliverance. The boy is cured of his affliction, and the disciples learn a valuable lesson about the importance of faith.

3. "And behold, a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way lift herself up. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, 'Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.' And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God." (Luke 13:11-13)

This passage is another example of receiving good news through healing and deliverance. The woman is cured of her infirmity and is able to stand up straight again.

4. "And behold, a man named Jairus came, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the people wept and wailed behind Him, and followed Him, saying, 'Daughter, do not be afraid; be comforted, and be healed.' But when Jesus came into the house, He permitted no one to follow Him, except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl who had the evil spirit. And He went to her and took her by the hand, and called her, and said, 'Daughter, arise.' And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that something be given to her to eat." (Mark 5:22-43)

This passage is an example of receiving good news through healing and deliverance. The girl is cured of her illness and is able to stand up and walk again.

5. "And behold, a blind man was sitting by the road. When he heard that Jesus was passing by, he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!' Those who led the way rebuked him, saying, 'Be quiet, he is busy!' But he cried out all the more, 'Son of David, have mercy on me!' Then Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he came near, He asked him, 'What do you want me to do for you?' He said, 'Lord, that I may receive my sight.' Then Jesus said to him, 'Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.' And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God." (Luke 18:35-43)

This passage is an example of receiving good news through healing and deliverance. The blind man is cured of his affliction and is able to see again.

These passages are just a few examples of the many times in the Bible where people receive good news through Jesus Christ. Whether it's healing, deliverance, or forgiveness, the good news of Jesus is a message of hope and redemption for all people.
