Leviticus 27:1-34; Psalms 142:1-143:12; Mark 11:1-26

Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. Luke 23:46

Four out of seven sayings from the cross were quotations from the Old Testament. In His hour of greatest testing Christ relied on what was in God’s Word. So should we. James, in writing to people who were suffering persecution for their faith in Christ, quotes from 21 of the 37 Old Testament books. How will we stand in the day of testing? We must know the truth of His Word and the One who is the Truth. They will set us free. —M. MacMullen

How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word.
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?  —J. Rippon
