JANUARY 20

MORNING

HE Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.--Thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

      They shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.--JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

      All men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.--God . . . hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.--Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and hath put all things under his feet.--He had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself . . . KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

      Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out.--What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

EVENING

E are Christ's; and Christ is God's.--I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.--I am his.--The Son of God . . . loved me, and gave himself for me.

      Ye are not your own.  . . Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.--The LORD hath taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

      Ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.--Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.--A spiritual house, an holy priesthood.

      They shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels.--All mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.--The glory of his inheritance in the saints.
