Sadly,
it is possible to be living in the promised land yet living in
disobedience and thus losing out on the promised blessing. The Pharisee,
in Jesus’ parable, lived and worshipped within the tradition which
remembered God’s mighty act of redemption. Nevertheless, his heart was
far from God. He considered himself superior, He was not justified, and
he would not be exalted (glorified). Those who are justified, who will
be glorified, rejoice in the Lord with much gladness: “Sing praises to
God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises” (Psalm 47:6).
"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
