Verses: Psalms 50: 1 - 23
Song inspired by the chapter: Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.
My thoughts about the
verses:
First we must understand
how far back sacrifices go. Think back
to Cain and Abel. They were bringing the
best of goods to the altar to offer praise to God. They were giving back to God a part of what
had given to them. They were worshiping
God as they brought their sacrifices to God.
Second we have to look
at the sacrifice of the perfect lamb.
Jesus was the gift that God gave to us.
Jesus went to the cross as the perfect sacrifice. The lamb was slaughtered to give us eternal
life. The eternal life is our gift.
The third thing we must
come to is that we need to give sacrifices to God today. The sacrifice is different than in the older
days. Our sacrifice is giving our lives
over to God. We need to Allow God to
work through us to help others find inner peace. We can feed those that are hungry. We can clothe those that need warmth. We can offer shelter to those that are
homeless. The goal of our sacrifice is
to allow others to see Jesus in us.
We have to accept that
we will never be able to give back to God all that has been given to us. Through Jesus we are given everlasting life. This is a gift that we will never truly be
able to repay. Yet, when we worship and
praise God we are giving God a part of our life. When we help others we are showing them a
little bit of what God has given to us.
The most important thing that we can do is allow Jesus to work through
us. When god works through us people can
see a little bit of Jesus.
Prayer:
God we thank you for
loving us. We thank you for the
sacrifice of Jesus. Help us be there for
others. Accept the sacrifice that we
give to you. Help us love others and to
worship others. In the name of the
Perfect Lamb we pray. Amen
Questions:
Have you accepted Jesus in your life? Have you asked God to work through you? Are you being a living sacrifice so that
others can find salvation?
