“Visions
of God” - This is what we have in Ezekiel. These visions are not easy
to understand. Their form emphasizes that God is beyond our
understanding. We see the glory of God, and we fall before Him in
worship (Ezekiel 3:23).
We are not, however, to content ourselves with seeing the glory of God
as we worship Him. We are to share the glory of God as we witness for
Him (Ezekiel 3:27).
As we consider this high calling - to worship the Lord and to be His
witnesses, we become conscious of our weakness. This is where Jesus
helps us. He is able “to sympathize with our weaknesses.” Through Him,
“we ... receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:15-16). Discovering the mercy and grace of God in Christ, we say to God, in worship, “Your compassion is great, O Lord” (Psalm 119:156).
"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
