2 Chronicles 31:1-21; Ezekiel 47:1-23; 1 John 1:1-2:11
Jesus wept. John 11:35
Rejoice evermore. 1 Thessalonians 5:16
I well remember as a boy in Sunday school being taught that these were the shortest verses in the Bible. One spoke of sorrow and the other of joy. “Jesus wept” at the death of his friend Lazarus. How the Lord loved him! The Lord loves each one of us too. So much so that He died upon a cross. If we trust Him and accept Him we “Rejoice evermore” in Him. —John M. Clegg
Rejoice! Rejoice! Ye saints rejoice,
Rejoice with one accord;
Rejoice with all your heart and voice,
In Christ the exalted Lord. —C. Russell Hurditch
