Daily Reading
Preface - The song of Deborah and Barak
Judges 5
Preface - Saul going toward Damascus is encompassed with a light from heaven, falleth to the earth, is called by Christ, and led blind to Damascus. Ananias is sent to him, by whom he is restored to sight, and baptized: he straightway preacheth Christ boldly. The Jews of Damascus seek to kill him; he goeth to Jerusalem, and is brought to the apostles by Barnabas; preaching boldly against the Grecians, he is again in danger of his life, and is sent to Tarsus. The church hath rest, and is multiplied. Peter cureth Aeneas of the palsy at Lydda; and raiseth Tabitha to life at Joppa.
Acts 9

A Puritans Catechism
Q24-How does Christ execute the office of a priest?
A- Christ executes the office of a priest, in his once offering up of himself a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice, and reconcile us to God, and in making continual intercession for us.

Saints Known
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep - John 10 v14-15
The Father knew the Son from all eternity: Then I was by him as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight rejoicing always before him' (Proverbs 8. v.30). He was in the bosom of the Father. So did this good shepherd know his sheep from all eternity: 'Chosen before the foundation of the world.'
The Father knew the Son with a knowledge of most perfect delight and love: 'I was daily his delight.' At his baptism, a voice from heaven was heard saying: 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased' was heard (Matthew 3 v. 17). So does Christ know his sheep: 'Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee;' 'The King is held in the galleries:' 'How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!' 'Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me.'
The Father knew the Son through all his sufferings. So Christ knows hi sheep: 'I know their sorrows;' 'In all their afflictions, he was afflicted.' He knows their decays: 'I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot.'
The Father will know the Son to all eternity; and so the Son will know his sheep for ever and ever. They shall soon 'hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun 'hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.' (Revelation 7 v.16)
