Genesis 41:50-42:38; Psalm 19:1-14; Matthew 24:29-51

What manner of man is this? Matthew 8:27

Field Marshall Lord Montgomery once exalted the prowess of British paratroopers by asking “What manner of men are these?”. He was referring to their exceptional qualities of courage and bravery. Our Lord faced a stormy sea and calmed it; met demented persons and put them in their right minds; touched the diseased and disabled and effected their cures. Our Lord is unique in that it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint any particular exceptional quality about Him, because every quality is exceptional.  —Brian Powlesland

No one, no one like my precious Saviour:
No one, no one such a friend can be.
No one, no one like my precious Saviour,
Glory, glory, Jesus cares for me. —Eliza E Hewitt
