2 Chronicles 18:1-19:11; Ezekiel 38:1-23; John 15:17-16:15
I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. Romans 9:1-2 NKJV
Why did Paul experience such continual and deep grief in his heart? Paul’s primary concern was the fact that many of his countrymen, even his own relatives were unsaved. Even though they had so many advantages; the very Word of God, divine covenants, and even His manifested glory, they still were not saved! “He was moved with compassion for them” (Matt. 14:14). Are we as deeply grieved and moved as we consider the lost? —Ray Jones
Let me look at the crowd as my Saviour did,
Till my eyes with tears grow dim,
Let me look till I pity the wandering sheep,
And love them for love of Him. —R. A. Jarvie
