DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 20; Ezekiel 39; John 16:16-33
The son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. Luke 15:21
Father…I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. John 17:1, 4
In these verses we have two sons, both returning home! Looking back over the years that had passed, they each spoke to their father. The prodigal had squandered his allotted portion in selfish indulgence and had dragged his father’s honour in the gutter. But the Lord Jesus, the eternal Son, was wholly different. Though in possession of all things, He never squandered anything on self. The honour of the Father was His deepest passion, His sole delight. —J. Strahan
That path, with moral glories bright, resplendent in Thy holy sight,
Showed nought to mar Thy heart’s delight, in Thy Beloved Son.—Anon.
