The
concluding message, preached by Joshua, is a call for the people to
exalt the Lord. They make a definite and public commitment to the Lord.
The Christ-centredness of real commitment to the Lord is summed up in
the words of John the Baptist: “He must become greater; I must become
less” (John 3:30). We must confess Christ and honour Him – “The One who comes from heaven is above all” (John 3:31). We
must listen to what He says to us – “The One whom God has sent speaks
the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit” (John 3:34).
It will not be easy to live a life of true commitment to Christ.
Nevertheless, we have God’s promise: “Cast your cares on the Lord and He
will sustain you” (Psalm 55:22).
"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
