(2 Timothy 3.16, Proverbs 30.5.) - Give thanks to God that we have easy access to the Scripture in English, in our mother tongue. - Pray the Lord would bless us as we study the Bible through the ministry this coming year. That as we work through a book of the Bible the Lord would continue to help us to grasp God's truth. - Pray for the Lunchtime outreach service and those who attend; pray that more from the offices nearby and Christians who commute are able to join us.

Palestina is threatened. Isaiah 14 Preface - The apostle exhorteth the Christian converts to lay aside all uncharitableness. He sheweth their privileges through Christ the chief corner sone. He beseecheth them to abstain from fleshly lusts, and by their good conversation to promote God's glory among the Gentiles. He enforceth obedience to magistrates; and teacheth servants to obey their masters, and to suffer patiently for well doing, after the example of Christ. 1 Peter 2 Daily Light - Morning God shall wipe away all tears... there shall be no more death, neither sorrow... for the former things are passed away. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. - Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. - The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therin shall be forgiven their iniquity. - The voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. - Sorrow and sighing shall flee away. I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction. - The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death... Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. The things which are not seen are eternal. Rev. 21.4; Isa. 25.8; Isa. 60.20; Isa. 33.24; Isa. 65.19; Isa. 35.10 Hos. 13.14; 1 Co. 15.26,54 2 Co. 4.18 Daily Light - Evening Together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Fear not... I am he that liveth. - Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am. We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. - He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead. - Ye are completer in him, which is the head. Forasmuch...as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destoy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. This corruptible must pur on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in voctory. Eph. 2.6; Rev. 1.17,18; Jn. 17.24 Eph. 5.30; Col. 1.18; Col. 2.10 He. 2.14-15 1 Co. 15.53-54 A Puritans Catechism Q 68 - How may we escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin? A - To escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin, we must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting alone to his blood and righteousness. This faith is attended by repentane for the past and leads to holiness in the future. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of The Fall of Man, of Sin, and of the Punishment Thereof Chapter 6 PARAGRAPH 3 They being the root, and by God's appointment, standing in the room and stead of all mankind, the guilt of the sin was imputed, and corrupted nature conveyed, to all their posterity descending from them by ordinary generation,6 being now conceived in sin,7 and by nature children of wrath,8 the servants of sin, the subjects of death,9 and all other miseries, spiritual, temporal, and eternal, unless the Lord Jesus set them free.10 6 Rom. 5:12–19; 1 Cor. 15:21–22,45,49 7 Ps. 51:5; Job 14:4 8 Eph. 2:3 9 Rom. 6:20, 5:12 10 Heb. 2:14–15; 1 Thess. 1:10 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Wide Open And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: - John 3 v 14 The whole Bible shows that Christ is quite willing and axious that all sinners should come to Him. The city of refuge in the Old Testament was a type of Christ; and you remember that its gates were open by night and by day. The arms of Christ were nailed wide open, when He hung upon the cross; and this was a figure of His wide willingness to save all, as He said: 'I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.' But though His arms were firmly nailed, they are more firmly nailed wide open now, by His love and compassion for perishing sinners, than ever they were nailed to the tree.
