DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Lord, deliver any of your children from quarreling with you. Help us to be always at one with our God. “It is the Lord; let him do what seems good,” and blessed be his name forever and ever.
God bless our country and all lands where your name is known and reverenced, and heathen lands where it is unknown. God bless the outposts, the first heralds of mercy, and everywhere may the Lord’s kingdom come and his name be glorified. Glory be unto the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.” (1 Peter 1:21)
What a well of joy this always was to Peter: that God had raised his Son, Jesus Christ, from the dead, and this is our joy today. This is one of the facts that are proved beyond all question: Jesus Christ, who died upon the cross, and was buried in Joseph’s tomb, did actually rise again. This is the cornerstone of the Christian faith; one of the great facts upon which we found our confidence as to salvation by Jesus Christ.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Cherishing Jesus on Every Page of the New Testament*
In the New Testament, the hero who was hidden and obscured in the Old Testament is now in the spotlight for all to see, believe, and enjoy forever. The whole Bible tells one story. The New and Old are not merely in agreement with one another — they are one unified work. You cannot have one without the other.
We need to study the whole Bible — Old and New Testament — with depth and precision.
We need to know how to read, understand, and apply all of Scripture.
We need to grow our knowledge of the background and contents of every book.
And my friends at Midwestern Seminary have put together a new resource that will help you do ALL of that (and more).
They are giving away (FREE!) they’re entire New Testament 2 class, which covers all of Paul’s Letters.
This class is so valuable. The lectures by Patrick Schreiner are incredibly helpful for understanding Scripture.
