Today's Devotion (Saturday, Dec 07)
Jonathan Bagster's Daily Light on the Daily Path (Daily)
Morning:
He hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
The LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.--Who his
own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose
stripes ye were healed.--As by one man's disobedience many were
made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous.
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour
toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on
us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being
justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the
hope of eternal life.--[There is] therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Evening:
I will be as the dew unto Israel.
The meekness and gentleness of Christ.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall
he not quench.
The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed
me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that
are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. . . .
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture
fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him witness, and wondered
at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth.
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter
remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went
out, and wept bitterly.
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the
lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall
gently lead those that are with young.
