DAILY READINGS: Exodus 30:11-38; Psalm 78:32-72; Acts 18:1-23
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. Romans 11:36
This verse sums up the absolute “centrality” of Christ. At the end of its anthem of praise, we are directed to the focus of all things—a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the source of everything that exists in the universe, whether visible or invisible. He is the Power, the Sustainer, the Enabler and the Owner of every minute detail of creation. Finally, as the Sum of all things, all streams flow back to His person because of His infinite worth. No wonder we must exclaim “To Him be glory forever. Amen." —S. D. B.
Praise Him, praise Him, Jesus our blessed Redeemer,
Sing, ye saints, His wonderful love proclaim.
Hail Him, Hail Him, mightiest angels in glory,
Strength and honour give to His Holy Name. —Fanny Crosby
