Isaiah 49:6 tells the prophet he is to be a light to the nations, and so should each of us that know the grace of the Lord. This is indeed the greater task to which we should aspire. Isaiah was shortsighted and thought he was only a minister to the Hebrews but God said that task was ...Too Small A Thing... and that He would be a witness to the enitre earth. And so he wrote a book we read 2700 years later.

A Remarkable Thought

I like to read Oswald Chambers every morning and this morning these words in the quote below jumped off the page at me. We are all so busy doing things. The truth is that we measure others and our own sense of spirituality by what we do. This is so, so, wrong. It is the Atonement of Jesus Christ that has paid in full for our sin that brings salvation to us. The things we do are only the result of the change that Jesus has brought into our lives by His gift of our salvation. If we measure how "good" we are by what we do we are trashing what Jesus has done for us. It is only by what He has done that we have anything at all.
