DAILY?READINGS: Joshua 24; Isaiah 19-20; 2 Thessalonians 3
Taking a place by so much better than the angels. Hebrews 1:4 (JND)
He hath … a more excellent name than [angels]. Hebrews 1:4
And let all the angels of God worship him. Hebrews 1:6
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death … that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hebrews 2:9
The angels knew His rightful place; His lofty name and His utter worthiness. But He was made a little lower than angels. His place became a cross on Skull Hill. His name became a curse and the song of the drunkard. There was no worship—He was cursed and spit upon. Crown Him with glory and honour today. —S. McEachern
Thy open bosom was my ward, it braved the storm for me.
Thy form was scarred, Thy visage marred; now cloudless peace for me.
—Anne R. Cousin
