“The
Lord, the Mighty One, is God, and
He has spoken; He has summoned all humanity from where the sun rises to where
it sets.” Psalms
50:1 NLT
God
gave visions and prophesies through his chosen people, the Jews. But Psalm 50
is really good news for Gentiles. God has called ALL people to turn to Him. He
has summoned everyone from where the sun rises to where it sets, as far as the
eye can see, and even beyond.
As
this Psalm was written, people were living under the Old Covenant, the Law.
Unfortunately, no one could succeed under this system. God doesn’t grade on a
“curve;” God uses a pass/fail system: 100% right, you’re in; get one thing
wrong, bye bye!
This
clearly wasn’t working out, and God’s desire is that no one would perish, so
Jesus, God’s own son, came to earth to be our sin-offering. Under this New
Covenant, instead of being safe at the last judgment because we followed every
rule, we can be safe at the last judgment because our sins are forgiven by
grace, because of what Jesus did for us.
Jesus
made a way for us all to spend eternity in the presence of the Father, if we’ll
just walk with him. See you there!
