1 Chronicles 26:1-27:34; Ezekiel 23:1-49; John 8:31-59
The Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Luke 9:58
He said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the Spirit. John 19:30
The napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes. John 20:7
A place to lay one’s head is associated with rest. Our Lord found no rest in the world He created. Taken by His sinful creation, a crown of thorns was placed on His head, and He was nailed to a cross. After completing His sacrifice, He bowed His head and gave up the Spirit. Then for three days, His body lay at rest in the grave. But then—resurrection! It was an event like no other. May we rejoice in it as we remember Him today. —Ken Gross
Looking off unto Jesus, my spirit is blest,
In the world I have turmoil—In Him I have rest. —Anna Warner
