Isaiah 49:1-26
‘I,
the
Lord, am your Saviour, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob’. Help us,
Lord, not to keep this to ourselves. You want ‘all mankind’ to ‘know’
(Isaiah 49:26).
‘Jesus, the Name to sinners dear, the Name to sinners given, it scatters
all their guilty fear, it turns their hell to heaven’ - This is not
something to keep to ourselves. We must make Christ known to others -
‘Oh, that the world might taste and see the riches of His grace! The
arms of love that compass me, would all mankind embrace. His only
righteousness I show, His saving truth proclaim: ‘tis all my business
here below to cry: “Behold the Lamb!”. Happy, if with my latest breath I
may but gasp His Name: preach Him to all, and cry in death: “Behold,
behold the Lamb!”’ (Mission Praise, 385). Help us, Lord, to be obedient to Your call to ‘go into all the world and preach the Good News’ (Mark 16:15).
