God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:31–35). ...
We are God’s precious,
holy people!
Just as an eagle
protects its young with its wings,
God protected the
children of Israel and led them to Himself.
He made them His
treasured possession among all nations
by ensuring they
listened to His words and kept His covenant.
Specifically, He made
them a kingdom of priests and a holy nation
(Exodus 19:4-6).
We are precious and
honored in God's sight, and He loves us
(Isaiah 43:4).
We are a chosen people,
a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession.
This is so that we may
declare the praises of Him
who called us out of
darkness into His wonderful light
(1 Peter 2:9).
