Scripture Union Daily Guide 11th May 2024 OUTLINE
Read v.1 again. Do you know any store that sells wares for free? It is one thing to give out things for free on charity but to ‘sell’ things at no cost and even to those who have no money is paradoxical. This can only point to God’s gracious gift of salvation to sinful men. We do not need to pay any price for our salvation because Christ paid it all (Isaiah 53; Ephesians 2:8-9).
This, however, does not mean that sinners have nothing to do. There are at least twelve commands in this passage. Carefully go through vs.1-3 and 6-7 again. Check out God’s commands to wayward Israel in order to partake of God’s gracious offer. How do these apply to us today?
Just like divine judgment caused Israel to go into captivity in Babylon, so has sin separated us from God and robbed us of His blessings (Romans 3:23)! We cannot find true satisfaction and peace for our souls except in Christ (John 3:37). Note the question in v.2a. This is a warning not to waste your life on mundane things that cannot save and do not satisfy (Matthew 16:26).
Practice/Word Application
So what? To enjoy the blessings of salvation, you must repent of, forsake sin, and seek God wholeheartedly.
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Dear Lord, deliver me from the pursuit of transient things that cannot satisfy. Let my heart crave and desire only for you.
Prayer for the week
