God's Word for Thursday, 11/2/17

But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.
1 Peter 2:9 MSG

"from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted." How well said. Thanks Reverend!

TB - what man rejects, God accepts. He has chosen to see us as we will be, made perfect in Jesus, rather than as we are now. It is such a profound gift that man still struggles to describe it - and we fail, every time. But we keep trying.

He see us through the filter of Jesus' sacrifice - through blood-colored glasses.
