When Moses went out to greet Jethro, he asked his father-in-law how he was and then invited him to join him in his tent. There, he told Jethro of all that had happened – all the Lord had done to that point. But notice something: Jethro had already heard what God did for His people (v. 1).

Why does this matter? Because it shows us something important about sharing good news and rejoicing in it with others. Jethro didn’t interrupt Moses and tell him that he didn’t need to share the stories again. Instead, it seems he wanted to hear about everything again. Good news cannot be heard too much, and surely Moses’ first-hand account added deeper richness to what Jethro had heard before.

For us, this is a reminder that good news – and the Gospel is the best news of all – is worth telling and hearing repeatedly. We cannot hear the Gospel preached too much; we need it to seep down from our minds into our hearts daily. We also can’t share the Gospel too much. Just like Jethro and Moses, the Gospel is worthy of rejoicing over every single time it is shared.

• When did you last hear the Gospel? Share it? Rejoice over it?
