DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 4; Proverbs 1; Mark 14:1-26

Thomas…said unto him, My Lord and my God. John 20:28

…and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been [freshly] slain… Revelation 5:6

What a delightful response from the heart of Thomas, “My Lord and My God”. It was only after he had seen the marks of Calvary’s love that his heart burst in worship and adoration. What caused the four living creatures and the twenty four elders to sing, “Thou art worthy…for thou wast slain” (Rev. 5:9)? It was only after they had seen the freshly slain Lamb of God. What ought to cause our hearts to well up in worship this day? Only, when by faith, we too, see the marks of Calvary. —Jim Comte

Those deep, deep wounds will tell the sacrifice that frees us,
From sin and death and hell! —C. A. H.
