DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 21-22; Ezekiel 40; John 17
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion. Genesis 1:26
(Christ Jesus) took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:7
We were made to be like Him. But we sinned, marring the image. Thus Jesus our God had to be made like us (yet without sin). He paid the penalty of our sin and triumphed over all powers. Now He invites us to be His brethren and reign with Him. Hallelujah! What a Saviour. We gladly bow the knee and confess Him as Lord. —D. Pickup
How hast Thou triumphed and triumphed with glory,
Battled death’s forces, rolled back ev’ry wave!
Can we refrain then from telling the story?
Lord, Thou art Victor o’er death and the grave.
—H. D’A Champney
