Morning: Psalms 107:33-43; 108:1-6; Hebrews 9:1-14; Luke 11:14-23
The
Jews are called God’s chosen people. Now, followers of Jesus are also
called God’s chosen. What does it mean, to be chosen? Were you ever
part of a group of people from among whom a team was chosen? Not being
chosen can be painful. It’s not just that you feel devalued; it’s that
you don’t get to use your gifts. Followers of Jesus both choose to
follow him and are chosen to act, to employ their gifts in serving his
Way. Being chosen is not only about comfort and affirmation. When you
are chosen you are empowered to serve.
