April 24 - Choice Gleanings

 DAILY READINGS: Numbers 4; Proverbs 1; Mark:14:1-26

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Matthew:18:18-19

Our first response when someone gives us a command is often "Who are they? What authority do they have to tell me what to do?" That is why our Saviour prefaced his final command by establishing His right to give the order. He is not only our Saviour, but our Lord. We are His. Since this is the case, what choice do we have but to obey? And if we love Him as we should, why would we not willingly want to? What are we doing to carry out His command? —Ken Gross

Christ of God, our souls confess Thee—King and Sov'reign even now!

Thee we rev'rence, Thee obey— Own Thee Lord and Christ alway.

— R. Holden
