DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 16:41 to 17:13; Proverbs 14; 2 Peter 1
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. Ephesians 5:2
Christ’s love for us was amazing. Yet we worship a Saviour whose death was also an expression of love to His Father (John 14:31). His zeal was pictured in the burnt offering where the sacrifice was completely burned to ashes and was a sweet aroma to the Lord. In His every word and selfless act He expressed humble submission to His Father’s will. This attitude led Christ to give His all and His willing, obedient death brought great pleasure to God. Lord today may my life be a sweet aroma to you as well (Rom 12:1). —George Ferrier
As Lamb of God, Thy path we view, Thy Father’s will Thy whole delight;
To Calvary we trace Thy way, each step of Thine, with glory bright.—Ian Fleming
