DAILY?READINGS: Num. 26:52 to 27:23; Prov. 23:12-35; Luke 1:57-80

 

…Thou hast kept the good wine until now.  John 2:10
When they were filled… John 6:12

Are these two “signs” not meant to be seen together? Sufficient bread and choicest wine. Our Lord, His joy, and the new life He offers are a heavenly vintage, rich and ceaseless, eclipsing the world’s best offerings in both endless quantity and surpassing quality. As for the bread, He is our staff of life in a desert place, strength for today and sufficiency for all our tomorrows. Take all you wish. Eat ’til you’re full. Yet there is more. —S. McEachern

Jesus! All perfections rise and end in Thee;
Brightness of God’s glory Thou, eternally,
Favored beyond measure they Thy face who see;
May we gracious Saviour, share this ecstasy.
—D. MacGregor
