DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 36; Daniel 3; 2 John
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. John 19:19-20
These languages stood for three great nations: Israel, Greece and Rome. Hebrew was the language of worship of the true God; Greek, intellect and beauty and Latin, law and government. These attributes were manifested in the One above whom they were written. Hebrew, He was the express image of God; Latin, He was the fulfilment of the law of God; Greek, in Him was the highest thought of God and the "altogether lovely!" —Drew Craig
Fairest Lord Jesus! Ruler of all nature! O Thou of God and man the Son!
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honour, Thou my soul’s glory, joy and crown! —R.S.Willis
