Walk in the Light of His Grace

"O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD." (Isaiah 2: 5)

Whenever Jacob is mentioned, we must understand that God is gracious, especially to the worst of us, as Jacob was a cheater and grabber, yet God continued to bless him.

We can rest in the truth that because of Jesus, who did no sin, who knew no sin, in whom there was no sin, became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5: 21), that we would receive Him as our righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30).

Jacob was a cheater and a liar, and in one verse, the prophets refer to him as "worm":

"Fear not, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will help you, says the LORD, and your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41: 14)

When we see ourselves as nothing, and stop standing in our own light:

"Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God." (Isaiah 50: 10)

But instead, receive His gifts of no condemnation:

"Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. . .Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." (John 8: 11-12)

In His light, we find His never-ending grace:

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1: 7)

Notice that Jesus, the Light of the World, is the Light in whose blood our sins are cleansed, and keep being cleansed.

Walk in the light of His grace today!
