JULY 7

MORNING
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into
the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil.
N the days of his flesh, when he had
offered up prayers and supplications
with strong crying and tears unto him
that was able to save him from death,
and was heard in that he feared; though
he were a Son, yet learned he obedience
by the things which he suffered; and
being made perfect, he became the
author of eternal salvation unto all them
that obey him.--We have not an high
priest which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities; but was in all
points tempted like as we are, yet without
sin.
There hath no temptation taken you
but such as is common to man: but
God is faithful, who will not suffer you
to be tempted above that ye are able;
but will with the temptation also make a
way to escape, that ye may be able to
bear it.--My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect in
weakness.

EVENING
The Son of man came to give his life a
ransom for many.
F the blood of bulls and of goats, and
the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the
unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of
the flesh: how much more shall the
blood of Christ, who through the
eternal Spirit offered himself without
spot to God, purge your conscience
from dead works to serve the living
God?
He is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter.--I lay down my life for the
sheep. No man taketh it from me, but I
lay it down of myself. I have power to
lay it down, and I have power to take
it again.
The life of the flesh is in the blood:
and I have given it to you upon the
altar, to make an atonement for your
souls: for it is the blood that maketh an
atonement for the soul.--Without shedding
of blood is no remission.
While we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us. Much more then, being now
justified by his blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through him.
