DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 7; Ezekiel 10; John 2:23 to 3:21
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he
loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved). Ephesians 2:4, 5
This chapter has a sad beginning but a happy ending. It starts with
a dark description of the lost estate of each one who is outside of
Christ. But it ends with God indwelling each one who trusts Christ as
Saviour. Between start and finish, God’s mercy and love shine forth.
Because of His great love toward us, He has saved us. Love is the
basis and motivation for everything He has given to us and made us.
Thank God for His infinite and unconditional love. May we live in
the fullness of it today. —B. Crawford
Hark! the voice of love and mercy, sounds aloud from Calvary;
See, it rends the rocks asunder, shakes the earth, and transforms me.—Anon.
