"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!""-Isaiah 52:7 (NIV).
Christians are heralds who bring good news, but during Medieval times, the heralds weren't always harbingers of joy. They were the town criers who brought news from the battlefield. Heralds went behind enemy lines, witnessed the battle, and reported which army won...or fell defeated. Combating knights wore armor, so the heralds were skilled at determining which knight lived, or died, by their coat of arms. The news of victory or defeat, of life or death, was then rendered by the heralds. Christians are heralds of good news...peace and salvation. We know and proclaim Who has already won the battle and Who is alive and will return. Christian heralds, spread the Good News...our God reigns!
