DAILY READINGS: Joshua 5:13 to 6:27; Isaiah 2; Luke 22:1-30
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Romans 15:4
Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 1 Corinthians 10:11
Why read the Old Testament? The New Testament gives two reasons. First, to give us hope and secondly, that by heeding the examples in it, we might be holy. In a hopeless and unholy world, we need to read the Word—all of it! —Rex Trogdon
With such a blessed hope in view, we would more holy be,
More like our risen, glorious Lord, whose face we soon shall see.—Robert Boswell
