1 Chronicles 29:1-30; Ezekiel 26:1-21; John 9:18-41
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. 1 Cor. 15:3
Between July and November, 2014, a visual art project, entitled Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, was open for public viewing at the Tower of London. 888,246 red ceramic poppies were installed in the moat of the tower. Each poppy represented a British or Commonwealth life lost in the First World War. The effect was stunning. A staggering display of suffering and loss! Millions passed by and paid their respects. Today we remember those who died for our freedom. We are grateful for them and honour their memory. But we also think of another place of suffering, Calvary.
There the precious blood of our Saviour was shed. There He won for us forgiveness, peace with God and a glorious hope. – S. M.
A thankful heart, a simple faith, a life of love in You each day;
Til we are one and face to face, and all is joy and endless praise! —K. Bible
