DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 23:1-24:27; Ezekiel 41:1-26; John 18:1-27

And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the Lord. 1 Kings 7:51

David and Solomon picture two aspects of Christ’s work. The former was a soldier who vanquished God’s enemies, sometimes becoming a weak instrument confounding the mighty; the latter, reigned in glory and brought the temple to completion. David’s conflicts made him “a man of blood”; likewise, Christ shed His blood to make new creatures who would one day adorn the temple as living stones. The Lord’s true temple is comprised of believers fashioned by the glorified Saviour who once suffered. —Keith Keyser

The Church’s pilgrim-lot; her lot until her absent Lord shall come,
And the long homeless here, shall find a home. —Horatius Bonar
