This morning we have considered the Lord’s
appearing to Zacharias and how He took away the reproach not only of Elizabeth
but of Israel. We have inherited that blessing. Whereas, we were by nature
objects of wrath, the Lord, through the shed blood of Jesus, has brought us to
this table of grace and blessing. In our own strength, we were doomed to fail and could not
bring about the conditions for our own salvation. But thanks be to God, that at
the right time, the Lord sent the forerunner, John, and then His own dear Son, born
of a Virgin, to call us to repentance and to save us from our sins.
We are no longer in our reproach. We
have been rescued, healed, saved, and blessed as dear children of the most holy
God and King. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? I am convinced
that no one and nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.
So, let us rejoice as we eat and drink of God’s great salvation.
