DAILY?READINGS: Deut. 9 to 10:11; Eccl. 11-12; Luke 9:1-17
For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 (NKJV)
A young man standing by and observing Stephen’s face was reminded how Moses’ face shone after spending time in the presence of Jehovah (Ex. 34:30, Acts 6:15). Hearing Stephen, at his death, testify that he viewed Christ in His heavenly glory (Acts 7:55) must have impacted Saul who had his own impending appointment with the Lord of glory. May His glory also shine forth from us, helping others come to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. —George Ferrier
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing, out of my life may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior I pray, make me a blessing to someone today. —I. B. Wilson
