2 Samuel 10:1-11:27; Habakkuk 2:1-20; Romans 15:14-33

As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Ezekiel 33:11
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15

You would think that the death of a wicked one, one who had rebelled against Him, would satisfy a holy God. But no. He takes no pleasure in it. On the other hand, what a delight to know how He reacts to the death of one of His own. If we see it from His perspective, we will rejoice with Him and with them! The sacrifice of His Son has taken away the sting and victory of death. “Absent from the body…present with the Lord” (2 Cor. 5:8). —Ken Gross

Face to face with Christ my Saviour, face to face what will it be?
When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me.—Breck
