DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 6:24 to 7:20; Jer. 41 to 42:6; Heb. 10:19-39
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne … stood a Lamb as it had been slain. Revelation 5:6a
Because of who He is, this throne was eternally the Lord Jesus’ just and proper place to sit as Sovereign. But because of His love for His creation, He is now seated there as a Lamb as though it had been slain. It is a humbling thought that the One who is all powerful and all knowing laid down His life for a sinner like me. Because of His great love, God’s Son will be displayed as the resurrected Lamb for all eternity. What a Saviour! —Baylor Crawford
Lamb of God! Thou now art seated, high upon Thy Father’s throne;
All Thy gracious work completed, all Thy mighty victory won.
Every knee in heaven is bending, to the Lamb for sinners slain;
Every harp and voice is swelling, “Worthy is the Lamb to reign.”—J. G. D.
