—Ephesians 4:1-8
by: Susan Bond.
It's been thirty years since, at my request, God showed me what humility means. Along with it, he demonstrated grace and changed my life.
Recently, I learned that the shank of lamb on the Passover table represents the arm of the Lord. This scripture was read: ".to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" (Isaiah 53:1). Reflecting on both the Passover Feast's celebration of the Israelites' delivery through the Red Sea and on Christ the Passover Lamb, I pictured the same arm of God, which powerfully parted the Sea, willingly being nailed to the cross.
As Christ's act of humility and grace made my union with the Father possible, so his humility and grace in us make union with each other possible.
