Leviticus 21:1-24; Psalms 124:1-127:5; Mark 7:24-8:10

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:3

What a wonderful promise from our Saviour! The two who spoke after His Ascension said, “This same Jesus will come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). Paul, speaking of our heavenly citizenship, reminds us that, “We…wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed (fashioned) to His glorious body” (Phil. 3:20-21). “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Rev. 22:20). Can you say this truthfully today? —Jim Paul

Sad hearts will gladden, all shall be bright,
Good-bye forever to earth’s dark night;
Changed in a moment, like Him to be,
Oh glorious daybreak, Jesus I’ll see. —C. A. Blackmore
