DAILY READINGS: Judges 19; Isaiah 37:8-38; 1 Corinthians 15:1-34
From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the
marks of the Lord Jesus. Galatians 6:17
During a search in the att ic, I came across a “Certifi cate of Service”
of my late father in the Royal Navy. I noted on the record how people
were identifi ed. Not just full name, date and place of birth, eye
and hair colour and complexion, but also there were entries under
“wounds and scars”. These latt er elements of identity were suffered
during active service. Paul bore the evidences of active service for
the Lord Jesus on his body. How do people know that we serve the
Lord? —Brian Powlesland
Am I a soldier of the Cross, a follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause, or blush to speak His name?—Anon.
