DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 13:1-32; Jeremiah 23; Colossians 1:21 to 2:7
And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually. Ex. 28:29
As our Great High Priest, the Lord Jesus continually presents us to the Father. He presents us as His loved, purchased possession for which He bore the judgement of our sin. It is incredible what the Lord has made of every Christian—once worthless sinners but now beautiful and precious stones set in gold and placed on the heart of God. What a wonderful High Priest we have. —Baylor Crawford
So near so very near to God, I cannot nearer be;
For in the person of His Son, I am as near as He.
So dear, so very dear to God, dearer I cannot be;
The love wherewith he loves the Son, such is His love to me.—C. P.
