DAILY?READINGS: Nehemiah 10-11; Zechariah 7; Revelation 15

He shall be great…  Luke 1:32

Precious words! He is a great God. “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us” (Titus 2:13-14). He is a great High Priest. “Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession” (Heb. 4:14). He is a great Shepherd. “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will” (Heb. 13:20-21). —Jim Paul

Great are the offices He bears;
And bright His character appears,
Exalted on the throne.
