DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 8-9; Ezekiel 33; John 12:20-50
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth thereon. Numbers 4:13
When it comes to the outer covering of the tabernacle, badger’s skins were used. They were not particularly attractive to the human eye, and speak of Christ’s cloak of humility when He came to earth. In contrast, the ashes indicate a sacrifice has been offered, and they were to be covered and carried in a purple cloth. Calvary and the sacrifice offered will always be the most precious event to God, and should always be hallowed by us. There should not be a day when we do not thank God for it. —Brian Russell
Calvary, O Calvary! Mercy’s vast unfathomed sea,
Love, eternal love to me, Jesus we adore thee. —S Francis
