“The Lord is righteous, yet I rebelled against His command” (Lamentations 1:18).
“At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved
by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy,
being hated and hating one another” (Titus 3:3). This is the story of our life without Christ, but it is not the full story. We must move on to Titus 3:4-7:
a great declaration of the love of God, the salvation of God and the
glory of God. This is God, working powerfully in our lives. Psalm 119:115
describes the transformation. No longer is it “I rebelled against His
command.” Now, it is “Away from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the
commands of my God!” How does this transformation take place? “Uphold
me, and I shall be delivered; I shall always have regard for Your
decrees” (Psalm 119:117).
"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
