Jesus Christ prayed the 22nd Psalm on the cross. From this comes the 28th verse of my internal motto (lot):

יזכרו וישבו אל-יהוה כל-אפסי-ארץ וישתחוו לפניך כל-משפחות גוים

All ends of the earth are to commemorate and turn back to YEAR, and all the families of the heathen peoples are to prostrate themselves before you. ”

This expresses the purpose of the sacrificial death of Jesus in a short formula: A complete surrender of all people to YAHWEH the ONE God. I know I have been called to be the Savior of Israel (October 30, 2012). Israel should become the light for all peoples, which has always been God’s goal. (Isaiah 42: 6) I hope for that and I pray for it. I am aware that this will not be a walk in the park, but that as a star from Jacob (Numbers 24: 17) I will have to cope with demanding tasks.

In connection with “Light” I came across a Bible study by E. F. Ströter (1846 – 1922). I recommend reading the section on Isaiah 60: 1.
