The LORD’s People


Jehoiada then made a covenant between the LORD and the king and people that they would be the LORD’s people. 2 Kings 11:17

I think the text speaks for itself as to what the topic will be today. What does “the LORD’s people” look like on a day-by-day basis? What kind of activities would someone calling himself/herself a part of “the LORD’s people” engage in? Many if not all reading this would say that they are “the LORD’s people.” If this is so (and I have no reason to doubt it), how should our lives be different if we are “the LORD’s people?” What makes us stand apart? Would those who know you say you are part of “the LORD’s people?” Would your enemies say you are part of “the LORD’s people?”

I think the questions above are similar to “what would Jesus do?” questions but with a twist. As a community of Believers, how should our lives be different? Would our churches be overflowing if we exhibited the love that Jesus taught? And as “the LORD’s people,” how would or should our involvement in our communities change?
