Lord’s Day, January 31, 2016

DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 38; Psalms 15-16; Matt. 21:33 to 22:14

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. Matthew 27:45

Three hours of darkness. How amazing that the sun went down at noon (Amos 8:9). Man had done their worst to the Lord Jesus; now it was God dealing with Him. It was in the darkness that He was made sin for us. It was during those hours that the sword awoke and smote the Shepherd. It was then that He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. He was smitten of God and afflicted. O the depth of the mercy and compassion of our God that He would so deal with His own beloved Son. Let us worship Him in spirit and in truth. —Harold G. Smith

King of my life, I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory be.
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow, lead me to Calvary. —Kirkpatrick
