In
Ezekiel, we read of many sacrifices being offered to God. In the New
Testament, it is emphasized that one Sacrifice is sufficient - “For
Christ died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous to
bring you to God” (1 Peter 3:18). We are called to look to Christ for salvation. We are to trust in the Lord. This is the way of true prosperity (Proverbs 28:25).
It is the way of walking in wisdom, the way of enjoying salvation.
This way is contrasted with the way of trusting in oneself, the way of
the fool (Proverbs 28:26).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word … will not return to Me empty, but will … achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
