DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 9; Jeremiah 17; Philippians 2:12-30
And they talked together of all these things which had happened. Luke 24:14
Walking the seven miles from Jerusalem to Emmaus, these disciples spoke together of the sorrow each had carried since the day their Saviour had died. Unnoticed, a Stranger joined them. Enquiring about their obvious grief, “He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself” (Luke 24:27). Who could better comfort their broken hearts than the One who had experienced Calvary’s suffering? In your hour of grief He is prepared to walk with you and to share your sorrows. —Arnot P. McIntee
Bride of the Lamb, there is for thee
One only safe retreat;
Where Jesus is, thy heart should be,
Thy home at His dear feet. —Thompson
