Lord's Day
JUNE 18
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father...all the men of his city shall stone him with stones that he die. - Deuteronomy 21:18, 21
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. - Jn 17:4
This is My beloved Son. - Luke 9:35
He spared not His own Son. - Romans 8:32
The Old Testament is full of rebellious sons who shamed their fathers in many ways. The New Testament is full of the righteous Son who glorified His Father in every way. Out of love, many rebellious sons were spared. Out of love, one righteous Son was not. -- S. McE.
Jehovah bade His sword awake; O Christ it woke ‘gainst Thee.
Thy blood the flaming blade must slake; Thy heart its sheath must be.
