DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 41:50 to 42:38; Psalm 19; Matt. 24:29-51

Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things…But with the precious blood of Christ. 1 Peter 1:18-19

A flashing red light! The police officer firmly stated the infraction: “You were exceeding the speed limit by ten miles an hour. This ticket stipulates you pay the fine in money to the court, or blood to the Red Cross.” The offender eventually presented his ticket at the police station. Across it had been written in red ink, “Paid in Blood”. The Lord Jesus Christ paid for your sins with His own blood. Believe it for eternal salvation. —Arnot P. McIntee

Precious blood that hath redeemed us,
All the price is paid!
Perfect pardon now is offered,
Peace is made.
