We are the fruit of Jesus' labor (
John 4:34. Jesus said to them, "
My food isto do the will of Him who sent Me, and to accomplish His work.") Jesus our
Saviour, Son of God, alone is worthy of praise, Jesus, God's only Son, givenfreely became the substitute for our sin. The Lamb of God, in His sinlesssacrifice, became more than Savior. He became our Lord and Master. The
Messiah is man's only hope. We are baptized with Him in death, but noteternal death, but death to the power of sin over us (
Romans 6:22. But nowhaving been freed from sin and enslaved to God you derive your benefit,resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.) We also areraised with Him in victory over sin, made possible by His blood. Thus Jesusis worthy of all praise and glory. The Power of resurrection (
Philippians3:10. that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and thefellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death), brings us tovictory in Jesus. We are overwhelming conquerors in Christ Jesus our Lord(
Romans 8:37. But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Himwho loved us.) We move from darkness and despair with no hope, to the lightof His glory in the Father.
Through His perfect sacrifice, we are bought with a price (1 Cor. 6:20. Foryou have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.) Hisprecious blood atonement. We become His servant. Jesus becomes our Kingto rule over us in righteousness and love. Our command from the Lord is towalk, by His example, in glory and power and exalt the name of Jesus in allwe do. Jesus through His sacrifice and obedience, even unto death, broughtglory to God. We through our praise and obedience even unto death bring to
Jesus, glory and honor. The Lord tells us in (1 Samuel 15:22. And Samuelsaid, "
Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, asobeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,and to heed than the fat of rams.") It is better to obey than sacrifice. Wecannot repay Him for the magnitude of His sacrifice; but we exalt our Lordwith our submission in obedience to the Holy Spirit. Our command is to walkin Light as given and to seek His truth with an unquenchable fire.--
