Jude Daily Light - Morning The life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an aatonement for the soul. Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. - The blood of the Lamb. - The precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. - Without shedding of blood is no remission. - The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. By his own Blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. - Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh... Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Lev. 17.11; Jn. 1.29; Rev. 7.14; 1 Pe. 1.19; He. 9.22; 1 Jn. 1.7 He. 9.12; He. 10.19-20,22 1 Co. 6.20 Daily Light - Evening Oh, that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. It came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, it is better for me to die than to live. Job spake, and said... Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasure? - Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. - In all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Ps. 55.6; Jon. 4.8 Job 3.2,20-21; Ps. 34.19 Jn. 12.27; He. 2.17-18 A Puritans Catechism Q 82 - What is meant by the words, "till he come," which are used by the apostle Paul in reference to the Lord's Supper? A - They plainly teach us that our Lord Jesus Christ will come a second time; which is the joy and hope of all believers. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH7 Christ, in the work of mediation, acts according to both natures, by each nature doing that which is proper to itself; yet by reason of the unity of the person, that which is proper to one nature is sometimes in Scripture, attributed to the person denominated by the other nature.37 37 John 3:13; Acts 20:28 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Shut in or shut out ... And the door was shut - Matthew 25 v 10 The door of Christ stands wide open for a long time, but shuts at last. When Christ comes, the door will be shut. Now the door is open, and we are sent to invite you to come in. Soon it will be shut, aand then you cannot. So it was in the flood. One hundred and twenty years the door of the ark stood wide open. Noah went forth, and preached everywhere, inviting men to come in. The Spirit strove with men. But they only mocked at the coming flood. At last the day came. Noah entered, and God shut him in. The door was shut. The flood came and carried them all away. So it will be with many here. The door is wide open now. Jesus says: 'I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.' Christ does not say, I was, or I will be, but, I am the door. At present any man may enter in. Soon Christ will come - like a thief - like a snare - like travail on a woman with child. - and you shall not escape. Enter in at the strait gate. Archives May 2024
