2 Kings 3:1-27; Jeremiah 36:1-32; Hebrews 8:1-13
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God. Acts 2:23
This phrase describes the true cost of our salvation. In eternity past, Calvary was rooted in the very heart of God. We hear the cry, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me” (Isa. 6:8). Calvary was no accident; no reactive circumstance. It was the expression of God’s unfathomable love for us. The Lord Jesus willingly allowed Himself to be taken by cruel hands and crucified. May we be drawn back to the cross as we remember Him. —Jim Comte
O what a wonder that Jesus found me,
Out in the darkness, no light could I see,
Oh, what a wonder, He put His great arm under,
And wonder of wonders, He saved even me. —Unknown
