Ruth 1:1-26; Isaiah 41:1-29; 2 Corinthians 1:1-24
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. Mark 15:33
The Lord’s Supper should be a solemn time for us. We come to gaze on Christ and appreciate His finished work for us. We read here that at Calvary there was darkness over the whole land for three hours. In the midst of those weighty hours the Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all. What a price! And what a privilege, to have this opportunity to remember each week what He paid. —Virginia Strout
Gazing on the Lord in glory,
While our hearts in worship bow,
There we read the wondrous story
Of the cross, its shame and woe. —C. Thompson
