Numbers 4:1-49; Proverbs 1:1-33; Mark 14:1-26
That they might cast him down headlong. But he passing through the midst of them went his way. Luke 4:29-30
But when they came to see Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs. John 19:33
It was not according to the dictates of Rome when the Lord would die. God appointed the time. Men tried to cast Him headlong down a hill; they were too early! And when they came to break His legs upon the cross; they were too late! God too, has appointed a day when our risen Lord will come for us. It could be today! May He find us worshipping. —John M. Clegg
O wondrous hour, when Jesus, Thou,
Co-equal with the eternal God,
Beneath our sin didst deign to bow,
And in our stead didst bear the rod. —E. Denny
