DAILY READINGS: Exodus 29:38-30:10; Psalm 78:1-31; Acts 17:16-34

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. John 3:14

Calvary is a low hill; but it casts a long shadow. To our Lord, it was always before Him; from His earliest spoken words onwards to His last, it is evident that He was living in anticipation of Calvary. The shadow of the cross hovered over all the incidents of His life. May we, this day remember Him, and all that He suffered in our stead. —Ken Gunnell

“Lifted up” was He to die,
“It is finished” was His cry;
Now in heaven exalted high:
Hallelujah! What a Saviour! —Phillip P. Bliss
