2 Samuel 7:1-29; Nahum 2:1-3:19; Romans 14:1-18
What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? Psalm 116:12
There they made him a supper. John 12:2
The supper that the family at Bethany provided for the Lord was a loving response to the amazing blessing He had bestowed upon them in raising Lazarus from the dead. They could never render to Him anything of equal value to what He had done for them, but they did what they could, out of genuine appreciation. As those who benefit eternally from His great work for us at Calvary, may we have an increasing desire to render to Him from our hearts, a
loving response in worship and service. —Philip A. Kaye
I gave My life for thee, that thou might ransomed be;
I gave My life for thee; what hast thou given for Me? —Frances R. Havergal
