DAILY READINGS: 1 Sam. 11-12; Isa. 51:9-23; 2 Cor. 12:1-13
I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will
build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matt hew 16:18
The Carpenter from Nazareth has a great building project under
way. He is building His Church and has called us to be His co-workers
in this great endeavour. Day by day as souls are won to Christ,
the building takes its form. Some day soon, the last soul will be added,
the building will be complete and we will be swept up to glory.
Even so come Lord Jesus. —Milton Haack
Lord Jesus, come! And take Thy people home:
That all Thy fl ock, so scatt ered here,
With Thee in glory may appear.
Lord Jesus, come! Lord Jesus, come! —Philip Bliss
