Achan
suffered death because of his own sinful disobedience. Achan died, and
the judgment of God did not come on the whole people of God. Jesus
suffered death as the sinless Son of God, who bore the sins of many that
we might be saved through faith in Him. Achan died because he
disobeyed the will of God. Jesus died in obedience to God’s will: “not
My will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42).
As we look on what Jesus has done for us, we are to “sacrifice
thank-offerings” to God that He might “show us the salvation of God” (Psalm 50:23).
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).
