DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 3; Jeremiah 11; Ephesians 4:17-32
And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary. Luke 23:33a
There is a small piece of ground, on a lonely hill, outside the city walls of Jerusalem where a Roman cross was erected. There are many important historical locations on the earth, but they all pale to insignificance when compared to that place called Calvary. Upon that cross, the man Christ Jesus fought the greatest battle that ever was or will be. There He conquered sin, death and the grave. By faith may we draw near to that place today and worship. — S. D. B.
Sweet resting place of every heart,
That feels the plague of sin,
Yet knows the deep mysterious joy,
Of peace with God within. —Edward Denny
