"They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn , the first male offspring from every Israelite woman. Every firstborn male in Israel, whether man or animal, is mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself. And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons in Israel." - Num 8:16-18
On the second coming of God, like the fisherman, He will sieve the non-believers from the believers, who will inherit the Kingdom of God. Through the new covenant of the blood that Jesus Christ has shed for me, death will pass me on the second coming as how it came on the night of the Passover.
"He said to them, 'Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don't you put it on its stand?'" - Mark 4:21
"'Consider carefully what you hear,' he continued. 'With the measure you use, it will be measured to you - and even more. whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.'" - Mark 4:24-25
We are called to be the light for the darkness of this world. Since we brothers-in-Christ, our deeds should reflect our faith in God, for a lamp is meant to be placed on a stand to shine, and not to be hidden.
The second excerpt teaches me to continually live up to the highest moral standards of God because only by that, will I then be guided to make the right moral judgments when called for on this Earth.
PRAYER:
"Heavenly Father, I want to give thanks for the wonderful gift of the Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ that you have given us to be sacrificed so that we can be redeemed from the claws of death. Father, as I am now a believer, mould me LORD to become more in Christ so that I may inherit a larger portion of the treasures in heaven. Yes, with this eternal perspective in mind, help me to be spiritually greedy for your love and kindness, so that with all you have shown onto me, it can be shown onto the others around me. In Jesus' most living name, I pray, Amen."
