And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of GOD, and kissed him. And Moses told Aaron all the Words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which He had commanded him. And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that He had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. (Exo 4:27-31)
GOD sent Aaron to go with Moses, and they both went to the children of Israel to proclaim the Word of the Lord. The people heard from GOD, saw the wonders and power as expressed in the promised signs, and believed. Because of their faith, they bowed and worshipped the Lord our GOD.
When GOD shows up and shows Himself strong on behalf of those who are His, there is worship. When we see ourselves compared to GOD, we humble ourselves before Him. When we understand His awesome power, we praise Him. When we consider His grace and His justice, we thank Him for His mercy and His forgiveness through Jesus Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary.
Today, GOD commands His Church, the blood-bought people of His body, to go. We are to meet Christ outside the camp and know that just as the world rejected Him, they will reject us. But, GOD is good, and faithful, and will never leave us or forsake us. He goes before us, and will follow after, to prepare the way and to guide and protect those who love Him and are called for His purpose.
His plan and purpose for His people in this age of the Gentiles, is for us to minister to the hurting, on mission for GOD in our communities. We are directed to disciple one another in love and in His Word, in order that we may grow thereby and be conformed to the image of His dear Son. We are commissioned to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all who will hear, and as we go share His grace and mercy while warning of His justice and His judgment so that those that hear may believe and believing have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new heart in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
