To have time to read and meditate on the work of Christ, during a season of affliction, enlarges the soul like nothing else. At least that has been my experience. I will simply quote some Scriptures that have become more precious to me of late, and leave them for your meditation and the enlargement of your heart and soul.
● “I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do” (John 17:44I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. (John 17:4)).
● “Christ also suffered for us...Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously: Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:21-2421For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:21‑24)).
● “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:77In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; (Ephesians 1:7)).
● “Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” (Ephesians 5:22And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. (Ephesians 5:2)).
● “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures...He was buried...He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:44And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (1 Corinthians 15:4)).
Oh what a work,
A mighty work,
Accomplished there for me,
God’s Son, God’s Lamb,
His well-beloved,
Died there, at Calvary.
Oh what a work,
God satisfied,
Accomplished there we see,
The sacrifice,
Himself He gave,
When there at Calvary.
