What a sweet title: My people. What a joyful revelation. There is so much packed into this phrase. The whole world is God's, the heavens and even the highest heavens are the Lords and He reigns over the whole human race. But over those whom He has chosen, those whom He has bought with His blood, He calls them: My people. In this phrase we see that we are His property. In one way, the Lords portion is His people, Jacob is His inheritance. All the nations on the earth are His, the whole world is in His power, yet His people are His possession since He has done more for us then for others because He has bought us by His blood on the cross. He has reconciled us to Himself. He has set His great heart on us. He loves us with an everlasting love, a love which many waters cannot put out. A love which no hunan revolution can ever end.
Dear friend, do you see yourself in the number of those who belong to the Lord? Can you look up to heaven and say: My Lord and my God. Do you read the Bible and see your salvation? Do you call God your Father? Can I take hold of Christ's clothes and call Him: my Christ. If you can then you are part of the Lord's people. God says of you: My people. He has special favour on you. You are the object of His choice because you have accepted the Son.
