DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
O Lord, it has seemed to us impossible not to love you; for you are so supremely lovable, so full of goodness, so perfect. You have manifested yourself to us as love, and shall not love go out towards love?
Especially this morning we feel our hearts warmed towards you in the person of your dear Son. Surely we cannot see him made our brother, bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh, sympathizing with us, married to us, died for us and risen again for us—we cannot gaze into his right royal face, without feeling our heart melt at the very sight of him.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all things are accomplished.” (Matthew 5:18)
Not a syllable is to be rendered null and void. Even to the smallest letters, the dot of every “i”, and the crossing of every “t”, the law will outlast the creation. The Old Testament is as sacredly guarded as the New. “The Word of the Lord endures forever” (Isaiah 40:8, 1 Peter 1:25).
Modern critics have set themselves an impossible task in their endeavor to get rid of the inspiration of the whole sacred volume, or of this book, or that chapter, or that verse; for the whole shall come forth of their furnace as silver purified seven times.
