DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 36; Psalms 9-10; Matt. 20:17-34
Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? Luke 24:26
Let us not miss that it is our Lord Himself who said these words! It is proper that our hearts be hushed, as we hear Him speak of His awesome sufferings and of His transcendent glory. We rejoice that His sufferings are past. Never again will there be a Calvary experience for Him, for that “finished work” requires no repetition. But what of His glory? Shall it ever be eclipsed or fade away? Never! His surpassing excellence and greatness are eternal. —George Hall
While we hear the wondrous story,
Of the Saviour’s cross and shame,
Sing we, “Everlasting glory be to God and to the Lamb!”
Hallelujah! Give ye glory to His name.
—Thomas Kelly
