DAILY?READINGS: Joshua 1; Hosea 8-9; Luke 19:29-48

 

Art thou greater than our father Abraham…whom makest thou thyself?  John 8:53

The Jews accused our Lord of making Himself what He already was. They said He made Himself a king (John 19:12). He was already the King of the Jews (Matt. 2:2). They said He made Himself the Son of God (John 19:7). He was already the Son of God (John 10:36). They said He made Himself God (John 10:33). He was already God (1 Tim. 3:16). They said He made Himself equal with God (John 5:18). He was always equal, because He was the Son of God. Our Lord was not a man that made Himself God, but God who made Himself a man. Great is the mystery of godliness. —Harold G. Smith

A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord, a wonderful Saviour to me,
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rocks, where rivers of pleasures I see.
—Fanny Crosby
