Moses calls to the people, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me” (Exodus 33:26). Jesus also invites His apostles to “come” - “Come with Me ... to a quiet place” (Mark 6:31).
To come with Jesus to a quiet place is not to discover a place of
permanent tranquility. Jesus and His apostles were soon surrounded by “a
large crowd” - “The number of the man ... was five thousand” (Mark 6:34,44).
Jesus takes us to “the quiet place” so that we may receive strength for
the task of bringing the Bread of Life to those who are learning to
pray the prayer of the Psalmist: “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me Your
paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Saviour”
(Psalm 25:4-5).
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
