Intro:
Good news/Bad news jokes
A seed of truth in them.
Life has two parallel tracks: What we perceive as good and bad run side by side.
Examples:
But we’re conditioned to seek after and expect only good.
When we get those “good news/bad news” moments, we’re thrown for a loop.
We can be overwhelmed.
Here’s the “Bad News”
Being a Christian has an element of suffering built into it.
Being Jesus only people means that there are moments in life where our values and decisions will “go against the flow.”
By our words and actions we communicate what we believe about Jesus and His gospel.
At the minimum that can be uncomfortable.
It has been deadly.

Taking the good with the bad is not only possible but preferable as we move closer to Christ (Jesus only) and mature in Him.
