Matthew 12:17
One of the greatest validations of the New Testament is its use of the Old Testament. No document in the history of the world goes together more perfectly than God’s Word. It works together seamlessly. The human authors of the New Testament would never have dreamed of leaving out any possible reference to the Old Testament. The Holy Spirit guided this organic connection. The whole book is woven throughout with itself. It is complete and perfected. The actions of Christ in the gospels are also inexorably liked to the whole. His very life here on earth was born in the pages of Scripture. He is the subject of the book, it is his story.
Bible Reading: Exodus 8:1-10:29
Scripture Memory: 1 John 2:18 “Little children, it is the last time: and ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word. Without it, this world would be a very dark place. It is so important to our daily lives. We can never underestimate the role of Your very Words in our hearts. You tell us of salvation, and of Christ, in those blessed pages. Oh Father, my we always trust in Your Word to guide our lives! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
Prayer Requests: Pray for young pastors as they learn how to do their job better.
