In the sacrificial system, everything was to be done “as the Lord has commanded” (Leviticus 9:7; Leviticus 10:15).
This was the foundation of Jesus’ authority. He lived His whole life
in perfect obedience to the Father’s will. Only those who, through
faith, are in union with Him, will recognize the authority of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Those who refuse Christ, seeking to take salvation into
their own hands (Mark 12:6-8),
show that they do not understand that Christ alone has the authority
to be the foundation of our salvation. When we consider the greatness
of God’s salvation, we give glory to Him (Psalm 29:2,9) and the glory appears among us (Leviticus 9:23).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
