DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 37; Psalms 11-14; Matt. 21:1-32
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things… But with the precious blood of Christ. 1 Peter 1:18-19
Australian James Harrison has donated blood almost 1,000 times. His blood, which he has given every two weeks for more than fifty years, contains a rare compound that prevents babies from dying of Rhesus disease. It is estimated that Mr. Harrison has saved the lives of 2.2 million babies, including that of his own grandson. This remarkable story pales in comparison when we think of the Man who gave His blood only once, and in doing so, provided for the redemption of every man, woman and child on earth. Dear friend, can you ignore the love of the Lord Jesus Christ? —L. Shatford
I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed,
That thou might ransomed be, and raised up from the dead. —F. Havergal
