Isaiah 12:4 (NIV)
4 In that day you will say:
“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.
It is wrong to think God's love for the nations began only
with Jesus and the Great Commission. Remember Jonah's preaching to save
Israel's great enemy, Nineveh? Remember the precious story of Ruth, a foreigner
grafted into the lineage of King David and ultimately Jesus the Messiah? God
loves all people and wants them to come to share in his grace. As Christians,
we are his salt and light. We are here to touch all the peoples of the world
and beckon them to come back to the one Father who truly loves them.
Thought for today:
Is my life an invitation/imitation to my God?
