God's
purpose was moving on. He had begun with Israel. Their deliverance
from bondage in Egypt was a mighty demonstration of His saving power.
This was only the beginning. God was moving on to Jesus - "the Saviour
of the world" (John 4:42). In Jesus Christ, crucified for us, God was reaching out, in love, to "the whole world" (1 John 2:2).
The Gospel is not only for the Jews: "It is it is the power of God to
salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the
Greek" (Romans 1:16).
Jesus is calling us, His redeemed people - empowered by the Holy
Spirit - to take His message of salvation to the ends of the earth:
"You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and
you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
“O God, my whole being desires you” (Psalm 63:1). May God help us to worship Him like that!
