DAILY?READINGS: Ex. 1 to 2:22; Psalm 31; Matt. 27:45-66
He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. Isaiah 53:3
O what cruelties men inflicted upon God‘s Son. They bound Him with cords; they crowned Him with thorns; they lashed Him with a scourge; they beat Him with a rod; they mocked Him with a scarlet robe; they burdened Him with a cross; they pierced Him with nails; and finally, when He had expired, they wounded Him with a spear. It was all for you and me. —Jim Flanigan
Bearing shame and scoffing rude;
In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour! —Philip P. Bliss
