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).
"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
