DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 4:24 to 5:26; Ezekiel 7; John 1:19-51
Ye are come unto Mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. Hebrews 12:22-23
The Scriptures proclaim that the Lord is central to His people’s worship. In a coming day we will be where He is—the centre of the new Jerusalem. But even now the church worships where He is—in our midst (Mt. 18.20). How can we ever grasp the significance of the Lord being present as His obedient people gather together? Consider His presence among you as you come together today. —Drew Craig
Amidst us our Beloved stands, and bids us view his pierced hands,
Points to his wounded feet and side, blest emblems of the crucified.—C. H. S.
