DAILY READINGS: 2 Samuel 22; Jeremiah 6; Ephesians 1:1-14
They look and stare upon Me. Psalm 22:17b
Sitting down they watched Him there. Matthew 27:36
Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him. Revelation 1:7a
The Roman soldiers watched Him with cold cruelty. The Jewish leaders watched Him scornfully, taunting and mocking. His few followers watched Him grief-stricken. The passing crowds looked at Him as a spectacle, beating their breasts. The repentant thief watched Him with new found faith. In which of these ways do you regard the Lord Jesus Christ today? It will determine your place when He returns and “every eye will see Him.” —Kingsley Baehr
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. T.
