DBRP_Aug02_2014 Jer24-25 Ps150 1Cor7


A stunning prophecy was given in yesterday's reading:

“For the time is coming,”

says the LORD,

“when I will raise up a righteous descendant

from King David’s line.

He will be a King who rules with wisdom.

He will do what is just and right throughout the land.

And this will be his name:

‘The LORD Is Our Righteousness.’

How amazing that this identity of ‘the Lord is our Righteousness’ is specifically linked with the Righteous Descendant! Yesterday's reading also contained the interesting command about not calling the Lord's message a ‘burden’. I did not read the NLT for that part and there is a note in yesterday’s PDF file about that section.

 

Today we have the closing symphony for the book of Psalms.

 

Summarizing important points about our position: Remember that we are joined as one with Christ— as in the vine and branch analogy. We are of ‘of one spirit with the Lord’. (6:17) We each have become the ‘temple of God's Spirit’. (6:19) We are in the humble yet honored position of being ‘slaves’ of the Lord, the King of Kings. (7:22) We are not our own. We have been bought with a high price. (6:20 and 7:23)
