DAILY READINGS: Joshua 18-19; Isaiah 13; 1 Thessalonians 4
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
Reflect upon the three word phrases in this text: “Lord Jesus Christ.” His names and titles testify to His supremacy. “He was rich.” All the wealth of Deity is His eternally. “He became poor.” Bethlehem, Nazareth and Calvary are land-marks in His journey of voluntary humiliation. “For your sakes.” What an amazing climax to a tremendous story!—George Hall
And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Saviour’s blood?
Amazing love! How can it be, that Thou, my God, shouldest die for me?—Charles Wesley
