DAILY READINGS: Judges 6; Isaiah 27; 1 Corinthians 6
I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1
She brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7
From the highest throne of the universe to an animal’s feeding trough in a small village, from robes of glory to swaddling clothes, and from a lofty temple, to a lowly stable, our Lord made Himself poor so that we could be made rich. He made himself of no reputation to save His people from their sins. Praise God that He took notice of our need and sent His Son to die in our place! —J. Jacob
Out of the ivory palaces, into a world of woe,
Only His great eternal love, made my Saviour go. —H. Barraclough
