MORNING DEVOTIONAL

THEME: With His stripes we are healed

TEXT: Isaiah 53:5

Pilate delivered our Lord to be scourged. The Roman scourge was a most dreadful instrument of torture. It was made of the sinews of oxen, and sharp bones were intertwined among the sinews, so that every time the lash come down, these pieces of bone inflicted fearful laceration and tore off the flesh of the bone.

The Savior was, no doubt, bound to the column, and thus beaten. He had been beaten before; but this from the Roman soldiers was probably the most severe of His flagellations. My soul, stand here and weep over His poor, stricken body.

Believer in Jesus, can you gaze upon Him without tears as He stands before you, the mirror of agonizing love? He is at once fair as the lily for innocence and red as the rose with the crimson of His blood. As we feel the sure and blessed healing that His stripes has wrought in us, does not our hearts melt at once with love and grief? If ever we have loved our Lord Jesus, surely we must feel that affection glowing now within our hearts.

We may long to go to our bedrooms and weep; but since our business calls us away, we will first ask the Lord Jesus to print the image of His bleeding self upon the tablets of our hearts all day, and at nightfall we will return to commune with Him and sorrow that our sin should have cost Him so dearly.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

THEME: Return to the Lord

TEXT: Lamentations 3:40

The wife who fondly loves her husband longs for his return; a long protracted separation from him is a semi-death to her spirit. And so it is with souls who love the Savior much; they need to see His face; they cannot bear that He should be away, thus depriving them of communion with Him. A reproaching glance, an uplifted finger will be grievous to loving children who fear to offend their tender father and are only happy in his smile.

Beloved, it was so once this way with you. A text of Scripture, a threatening, a touch of the rod of affliction, and you went to your Father's feet, crying, "Let me know why you contend against me." Is that still the case? Or are you contend to follow Jesus from a distance? Can you contemplate broken communion with Christ without being alarmed? Can you bear to have your Beloved walking contrary to you, because you walk contrary to Him? Have your sins separated between you and your God, and is your heart at rest?

Let me affectionately warn you, for it is a grievous thing when we can live contentedly without the present enjoyment of the Savior's face. Let us work to feel what an evil thing this is - little love to our own dying Savior, little joy in His company, little time with the Beloved!

Hold a true Lent in your souls, while you sorrow over your hardness of heart. Do not stop at sorrow! Remember where you first received salvation. Go at once to the cross. There, and there only, can you get your spirit quickened. No matter how hard, how insensible, how dead we may have become, let us go again in all the rags and poverty and defilement of our natural condition. Return to the Lord!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

THEME: A Delayed Prayer is not Denied

TEXT: Song of Solomon 5:6

Prayer sometimes lingers, like a petitioner at the gate, until the King comes with the blessings that he seeks.

The Lord, when He has given great faith, has been known to test it by long delays. He has allowed His servants' voices to echo in the ears as if the heavens were brass. They have knocked at the golden gate, but it has remained immovable, as though it were rusted upon its hinges. Like Jeremiah, they have cried, "You have wrapped yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can pass through."(Lamentations 3:44)

In this manner true saints have continued to wait patiently without a reply, not because their prayers were not strong, nor because they were unacceptable, but because it so pleased Him who is Sovereign and who gives according to His own pleasure. If it pleases Him to test our patience, shall He not do as He wishes with His children?

Beggars must not be choosers either as to time, place, or form. But we must be careful not to take delays in prayer for denials. God's postdated checks will be punctually honored; we must not allow Satan to shake our confidence in the God of truth by pointing to our unanswered prayers. Unanswered petitions are not unheard.

God keeps a file for our prayers - they are not blown away by the wind; they are treasured in the King's archives. This is a registry in the court of heaven in which every prayer is recorded. Struggling believer, your Lord has as it were a tear-bottle in which the costly drops of your sacred griefs are put away, and a book in which your holy groanings are numbered. By-and-by your case shall prevail.

Can you not be content to wait a little? Will the Lord's time not be better than yours? By-and-by He will comfortably appear, to your soul's joy, and will cause you to put away the sackcloth and ashes of long waiting and put on the scarlet and fine linen of full fruition.

WILLIS DAILY DEVOTIONALS

THEME: The Love of Christ that Surpasses Knowledge

TEXT: Ephesians 3:19

The love of Christ in its sweetness, its fullness, its greatness, its faithfulness passes all human comprehension. Where can we find the words to describe His matchless, His unparalleled love toward the children of men? It is so vast and boundless that, as the swallow simply skims the water without diving into its depths, so all descriptive words merely touch the surface, while immeasurable depths lie below. Well might the poet say,
'O love, thou fathomless abyss!
For this love of Christ is indeed measureless and fathomless; no one can fully comprehend it.

Before we can have any idea of the love of Jesus, we must understand His previous glory in its height of majesty, and His incarnation upon the earth in all its depths of shame.

But who can tell us the majesty of Christ? When He has enthroned in the highest heavens He was very God of very God. By Him the heavens were made, and all its inhabitants. His own almighty arm upheld the spheres; the praises of cherubim and seraphim perpetually surrounded Him; the full chorus of the hallelujahs of the universe flowed without ceasing to the foot of His throne. He reigned supreme above all His creatures, God over all, blessed forever.

Who can tell His height of glory then? And who, on the other hand, can tell how low He descended? To be a man was something; to be a man of sorrows is far more. To bleed and die and suffer - these were much for Him who was the Son of God; but to suffer such unparalleled agony - to endure a death of shame and desertion by His Father - this is a depth of condescending love that the most inspired mind must utterly fail to fathom.

Herein is love! And truly it is love that "surpasses knowledge." O let this love fill our hearts with adoring gratitude and lead us to practical demonstrations of its power.
