DAILY READINGS: Joshua 22; Isaiah 15-16; 2 Thessalonians 1

And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. Genesis:22:12

No greater price could ever be asked of a father than the sacrifice of his only son. If possible, he would gladly give up anything else, even his own life. Yet what God stopped Abraham from doing, He permitted no such luxury for Himself. He spared not His own Son but delivered Him up for you and for me. May our remembrance and worship of Him today be sweet. —Sid Halsband

The Father gives His only Son; The Lord of glory dies;
For us, the guilty and undone,
A spotless Sacrifice. —R. C. Chapman
