Congregational Bible Experience Day #10
Bible Reading: Matthew 26-28
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Today's Bible
Reading concludes Matthew's Gospel with the ultimate climax of all stories: the
death and resurrection of Jesus. No
notes today. Just an encouragement that you would prayerfully read the
chapters, perhaps using the words of the following hymn that some of you might
remember from a bygone age:
Give me a sight, O
Saviour,
Of Your wondrous
love to me,
Of the love that
brought You down to earth,
To die on Calvary.
O make me understand it.
Help me to take it in,
What it meant to You, the Holy One,
to bear away my sin.
Was it the nails, O
Saviour,
that bound You to
the tree?
No, 'twas Your
everlasting love,
Your love for me,
for me.
O wonder of all
wonders,
That through Your
death for me
My open sins, my
secret sins,
Can all forgiven be!
Then melt my heart,
O Saviour,
Bend me, yes, break
me down,
Until I own You
conqueror,
And Lord and
Sovereign crown.
