DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 4; Jeremiah 37; Hebrews 9:1-14

 

Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.  Romans 4:25

What a sight! What a location! Our small group sat around a table on which there rested a loaf of bread and a goblet of wine. To our right was Calvary’s hill on which three crosses once stood. On the middle cross our Saviour had hung, delivering us from our offences. To our left there was an open, empty tomb. Pilate sealed it, but three days later our Saviour delivered Himself for our justification. As we ate the bread and drank the wine, we collectively declared the Lord’s death, until He comes. Just as He kept His promise to deliver us from our offences so He will keep His promise to return for us. —Arnot P. McIntee

Lord Jesus, my Saviour, I’ll still sing of Thee,
Yes, sing of thy precious blood poured out for me.
