DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 29; Ezekiel 26; John 9:18-41

 

Remember the battle, do no more. Job 41:8

 

Some battles are more memorable than others whether won or lost. When the fighting has been fierce and costly, the battle is vividly remembered by both winners and losers. The greatest and most significant battle ever waged was at Calvary where the Lord Jesus Christ, though sore wounded and trodden underfoot, was victorious over sin and death and hell. This was the battle of all battles and now that it is over there is nothing more to do than to remember it. The victory was final and once for all. While there is nothing to add to the work of the cross we do remember the battle, its participants and our ensuing blessings. —Roy Hill

Twas on the cross He bled for me, and purchased there my pardon free.—W. M’K. Darwood
