Lamentations 4:20
contains an interesting phrase - “The Lord’s anointed, our very life
breath.” Christ is the Lord’s anointed. Christ is our life. He is God’s
Word to us - “in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son” (Hebrews 1:2). He is God’s Son - “about the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, will last for ever’” (Hebrews 1:8). Psalm 119:130
says, “The unfolding of Your words gives light; it gives understanding
to the simple.” This opening up of God’s Word is redemptive. As we read
His Word, we pray, “Redeem me” (Psalm 119:134) and there arises in our hearts the joyous confession, “O Lord ... You have redeemed my life” (Lamentations 3:58).
"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
