Bible Text: Exodus 19:1-9a
Reflection & Application
Exodus 19:4-6
What can I learn from the fact that God calls the Israelites, the grumbling nation of rescued slaves, to be His “treasured possession” and “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation”? How does this encourage me?
In the New Testament, the church, like the Israelites of the Old Testament, is called “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation” (cf. 1 Peter 2:9). What does this mean regarding how I live my life?
Reflect on the fact that I am God’s “treasured possession”. What does it mean to be “treasured” by God? What does it mean to be God’s “possession”?
