safety and security at last

Sunday December 25th, Isaiah 62: 6 I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, 7 and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. After the return from exile, to hear that there would be a watchman posted that will never sleep was the sound of security. Our Lord comes into our lives and brings us this security. Christ has given us the gift of salvation as a free gift of grace. We in turn are called to respond to that grace by extending that grace to others. We, as Jerusalem of old are also called to be sanctuaries of God’s love and grace in this world, a place where others can come and know the Lord and more importantly, know the love of the Lord. Our God is with us and watches over us as we live day in and day out. Now complete the circle and be the love of God in the world for others.
