DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 16; Psalm 119:113-144; Mark 6:1-29
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. John 12:23-24
Amazing delight! That the highest glory of God the Son should be won by His humiliation, agony, and death at Calvary. And that this glory should be the transcending theme of heaven, where He will eternally be exalted as the Redeemer and Saviour of men. And more yet—that the glory He thus achieved should be bestowed on those saved by His death, “The glory which thou gavest Me I have given them,” (John 17:22). It was for the joy that was set before Him that He endured the cross. —Doug Kazen
Glory to Thee thou Son of God most high, all praise to Thee;
Glory to Thee, enthroned above the sky, who died for me. —E. C. Quine
