DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chron. 5 to 6:11; Ezekiel 29 to 30:19; John 11:1-27

He hath made us accepted in the beloved.  Ephesians 1:6

Christ’s vicarious work on the cross so completely satisfied the righteous demands of a holy God that He is willing to bring us into the very body and identity of His Son. And what is God’s opinion of the Beloved? In simple but eloquent terms—God is well pleased with His Beloved Son. In Him, God extends His well pleased love to us because of Christ’s work. —J. D. Fraser

No longer far from Him,
But now by precious blood made nigh.
Accepted in the well-beloved,
Near to God’s heart we lie.
—R. Boswell
