Nehemiah 6:1-19; Zechariah 1:1-21; Revelation 11:1-19

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Psalm 32:1

Who can forgive sins but God only (Mark 2:7)? That forgiveness is ours because of the riches of His grace (Eph. 1:7). What price was necessary to obtain that forgiveness? Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness (Heb. 9:22) and we are redeemed with the precious blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:19). Mere men have no power or authority to forgive sin—only God knows the true value of the work of His Son on Calvary. —Wm. H. Gustafson

Happiness is to know the Saviour,
Living a life within His favour,
Having a change in my behaviour,
Happiness is the Lord.  —Ira Stanphill
