MORNING
The fellowship of his sufferings.
T is enough for the disciple that he be
as his master, and the servant as his
lord.
He is despised and rejected of men; a
man of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief: and we hid as it were our faces
from him; he was despised, and we
esteemed him not.--In the world ye shall
have tribulation.--Because ye are not of
the world, but I have chosen you out of
the world, therefore the world hateth you.
I looked for some to take pity, but
there was none.--At my first answer no
man stood with me, but all men forsook
me.
The foxes have holes, and the birds of
the air have nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head.--Here
have we no continuing city, but we seek
one to come.
Let us run with patience the race that
is set before us, looking unto Jesus the
author and finisher of our faith; who
for the joy that was set before him endured
the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the
throne of God.

EVENING
They overcame . . . by the blood of the
Lamb.
HO shall lay any thing to the charge
of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth. Who is he that condemneth?
It is Christ that died.--It is the blood
that maketh an atonement for the soul.--I
am the LORD. And the blood shall be to
you for a token upon the houses where
ye are: and when I see the blood, I will
pass over you.
There is . . . no condemnation to them
which are in Christ Jesus.
What are these which are arrayed in
white robes? and whence came they?
These are they which came out of great
tribulation, and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of
the Lamb.
Unto him that loved us, and washed
us from our sins in his own blood, and
hath made us kings and priests unto
God and his Father; to him be glory
and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
