Isiah 54 Preface - Wise men from the east come to Jerusalem to enquire after Christ. Herod is alarmed. The wise men are directed by a star to Christ, and worship him, offering gifts. Joseph, warned by an angel, fleeth with the young child and his mother into Egypt. Herod's massacre of the children in Bethlehem and round about. Upon the death of Herod Christ is brought out of Egypt, and dwelleth at Nazareth. Matthew 2 Daily Light - Morning Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. - If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. We are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. - As thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us. - Ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. - Because I live, ye shall live also. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Col. 3.3; Ro. 6.2; Ga. 2.20; 2 Co. 5.15; 2 Co. 5.17 1 Jn. 5.20; Jn. 17.21; 1 Co. 12.27; Jn. 14.19 Rev. 2.17 Daily Light - Evening Behold how he loved. He died for all. - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. He...liveth to make intercession for them. - I go to prepare a place for you. I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. - Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am. - Having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. We love him, because he first loved us. - The love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

A - Christ executes the office of a prophet, in revealing to us, by his Word and Spirit, the will of God for our salvation. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Saving Faith Chapter 14 PARAGRAPH 2 By this faith a Christian believeth to be true whatsoever is revealed in the Word for the authority of God himself, and also apprehendeth an excellency therein above all other writings and all things in the world, as it bears forth the glory of God in his attributes, the excellency of Christ in his nature and offices, and the power and fullness of the Holy Spirit in his workings and operations: and so is enabled to cast his soul upon the truth thus believed; and also acteth differently upon that which each particular passage thereof containeth; yielding obedience to the commands, trembling at the threatenings, and embracing the promises of God for this life and that which is to come; but the principal acts of saving faith have immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, and resting upon him alone for justification, sanctification, and eternal life, by virtue of the covenant of grace.
Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The first sip of the cup of eternal bliss And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. - Ephesians 4 v 32 There is something very heavenly in these words. 'Son, be of good cheer, thy sins are forgiven thee.' Those of you who have believed on Christ, you are forgiven. 'As far as east is distant from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.' Your sins have been already forgiven, as many of you as have believed on Christ. if you really lay hold on Christ, sinner, tonight your sins will be forgiven thee. Oh, brethren, this is happiness - this is the first sip of the cup of eternal bliss - this is peace: 'Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing.'
