DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 25; Ezekiel 42; John 18:28 to 19:16
And sitting down they watched him there. Matthew 27:36
In the lovely hymn, When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, the author thinks about the Saviour on that cross and the work that was accomplished there. As we survey the cross we try, in failing fashion, to estimate its extent and value. We see that the work of Calvary extends from eternity to eternity—our sin removed “as far as the east is from the west” (Ps. 103:12). In value, there is no measuring the worth of Christ’s finished work there. —M. Robins
When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Lord of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride. —Isaac Watts
