Lord’s Day, February 25, 2018

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 16:1-36; Psalm 52:1-54:7; Acts 9:1-31

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession…Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb. 4:14, 16

Today, God rests in the finished work of His Son on the cross. As His redeemed ones, we rest in His great atoning sacrifice. Every Lord’s Day as we gather around the emblems of His suffering for us, we acknowledge Him, the foundation of our rest. Our worship and praise should therefore surge upwards to Him, who has given us peace with God. Let us do so with cleansed hearts, enjoying His presence and led by the Spirit of God. —Vernon Markle

Below He purged our guilt away, by His atoning blood:
Now He appears before the throne, and pleads our cause with God. —Author Unknown
