Let's meditate on the title Jehovah's great things.
Contents Hymn 260 “We from the dawn” 299 “When Jesus comes”
Saints who love the vision of the heart! Where does Christian joy come from? The true joy of a Christian is salvation from heaven. Anyone who confesses Jesus as their Savior will receive the joy of true salvation. In Psalm 126, the poet expresses the liberation from captivity as God's great work and records the conviction of tears. The poet expressed the great things of Jehovah as ‘salvation and freedom’.
First, Jehovah's ambassador frees the captivity of Zion (Psalm 126:1-3).
Let's say a prisoner in a prison was a weapon of no expectation at all. However, if someone conducts a movement for his release to the relevant agencies and related persons for the prisoner, and as a result, the prisoner is released freely... The joy of that beast will be like a dream. Jesus carried out our redemption movement over 2,000 years ago for our sins. And God has done great things for Israel... The poet's joy is expressed as "as if we were dreaming". Therefore, they sang praises filled with tears along with the emotion of gratitude. They hugged each other and smiled, “Thank God. I give you this glory.” confessed. The Gentiles who saw the history also said, “The Lord has done great things for them.” said.
Second, the reason that Jehovah fulfilled his ambassador was the answers to the prayers of the tears of the saints (Psalm 126:4-6).
Faith is an unchanging faith. The Christian's belief is that the Lord's dominion in His kingdom is eternal. The conviction of the captives of Israel was, “Lord, bring back our captivity.” They prayed to God in tears. Their tears became seeds and grew through the journey of many years. And I waited patiently for the day of joy to come. Therefore, they received the grace to work the great things of God. Therefore, the praise they sang as they went up to the temple was the sheaf of tears and the grain of joy.
Dear saint! God has entrusted Jesus with the ambassador of redemption. Jesus has called us to do his ministry (Galatians 6:7). His work is with tears. His job is to do it with joy. In other words, the work of evangelism must be tilled with manure of tears. So from now on, like a poet, let's write down Jehovah's lines. -Amen-
Lord Jesus Christ! I want to work with giving (1 Chronicles 29:9-17), receiving (John 6:21), and boldness (2 Corinthians 7:16).
