There
is a great contrast between sin - “Do not trust your brothers. For
every brother is a deceiver ... and no-one speaks the truth” (Jeremiah 9:4-5) - and salvation - “the holy and faithful brothers in Christ ... the Words of truth, the Gospel ... has come to you” (Colossians 1:2,5-6).
God is calling us from sin to salvation, and then on to service. Those
who say, “I will lift up the cup of salvation” go on to say, “O Lord, I
am Your servant” (Psalm 116:13,16). This
service is offered to the Lord in gratitude for His salvation,. We
acknowledge Him as Saviour, saying, “You have freed me from my chains”,
and we say to Him, “I will sacrifice a thank-offering to You” (Psalm 116:17).
"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
