DAILY?READINGS: 1 Kings 8:1-30; Jeremiah 15; Philippians 1:1-20
Jesus Christ … whom God set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past. Romans 3:25
God did not just pass over our sins as in Moses’ day. He has put them away forever. But at a mighty cost! What an act of grace—that God should make Christ sin for us. What a distance he endured—“Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani!” Today we draw near. And we can but bow in adoring worship at the feet of our exalted Lord. —Drew Craig
Yes, Jesus bore it, bore in love unbounded,
What none can know,
He passed through death,
And gloriously confounded our every foe.
—M. L. Carson
