DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 18-19; Ezekiel 38; John 15:17 to 16:15
Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Peter 2:24
Come with me to Golgotha (the place of a skull). By faith look at the spotless Son of God dying for you. Alone on that cross He bore our sins that we might be forgiven. In thick darkness He was forsaken of God that we might never be alone—suffered thirst that we might drink the Water of Life. Hear His victorious cry: “Tetelestai!”— “It is finished.” He paid the price with His precious blood that we might have a free and eternal salvation! —E. MacLelland
He could have called ten thousand angels,
To destroy the world and set Him free,
But He died alone for you and me. —Ray Overholt
