DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 10:11 to 11:3; Proverbs 8; Jude
He humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore, God also hath highly exalted him…that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. Philippians 2:8-10
The officers of the Sanhedrin slapped and buffeted Him and thought they humbled Him. The rulers had Him crucified and thought they humbled Him. The Roman soldiers stripped Him and gambled for His clothes and thought they humbled Him. But such was His power that their efforts were only as He allowed. The truth is He humbled Himself. Wherefore God has highly exalted Him. God asks us to bow our knees to the Saviour today. Some day in the future, as Judge, He will demand it. What a privilege to do it now. —Ken Gross
Within the holiest of all cleansed by His precious blood;
Before the throne we prostrate fall and worship Thee our God. —J. Deck
