DAILY READINGS: Numbers 4; Proverbs 1; Mark 14:1-26
And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people. Luke 24:19
Full of grief, Cleopas and his colleague discussed the sad events of the past few days. The stranger who joined them asked about their sorrow, and they responded that the One they had hoped was the Messiah had died and disappeared. They were occupied with the bad news when there was such good news to enjoy. Women had found the tomb empty and other disciples had verified the fact! Today let us rejoice that: “He is not here, He is risen.” May we be occupied with the His glorious resurrection. It will change your day from disappointment to delight. —Arnot P. McIntee
Thou cam'st from Godhead’s fullest glory, down to Calvary’s depth of woe,
Now on high, we bow before Thee; streams of praises ceaseless flow!—Robert Robinson
