Aim: To understand and experience our inherited new life in Jesus!
Exegesis: Our very identity is transformed. We go from rebels to saints (vv. 1-2a) and from paupers to princes(ses) (vv. 2b-3). Our very status is transformed. Instead of being spurned, we are a beloved people (v. 4); instead of being overlooked, we are a treasured people (v. 5). Our very purpose is transformed. Our mission is to faithfully (v. 6a) and prayerfully (vv. 6b-7) proclaim Christ.
Key verse: v. 1 ''For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.''
