DAILY READINGS: Deut. 7:12-8:20; Eccl. 9:11-10:20; Luke 8:40-56
The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. John 7:46
This lovely statement is only recorded by John, and is in keeping with his great theme of the deity of Christ and His pre-eminence in all things. He spoke words of light, revealing His bright glory and illuminating His listeners. He spoke words of love, that deeply touched the souls of sinners, imparting peace, hope and forgiveness (John 8:11). We can agree with Peter and say that He alone has “the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). —Pete Smith
Every day He comes to me with new assurance,
More and more I understand His words of love;
But I’ll never know just why He came to save me,
Till some day I see His blessed face above. —C. F. Weigle
