Today’s Quote
Christ’s passion for His people is the model for our wholehearted service.
— Richard Baxter
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Whole-hearted dedication shows itself in persistence. You may stumble at first, but the committed worker will say, "This is the Lord's work, and it must be done; my Lord has called me to it, and in His strength, I will finish it." Christian, are you serving your Master with all your heart? Remember how
passionate Jesus was! His work was heart-work, filled with zeal. When He sweat drops of blood, it was no small burden He carried. When He poured out His heart, it was no minor effort for the salvation of His people.

The Spurgeon Birthday Book

Think of the cemetery as a resting place for believers, like soldiers sleeping around their captain's tent. Jesus' tomb is the center of this "God’s acre," now empty, with His followers resting around their Redeemer's grave. The grave loses its terror
when we remember that Jesus Himself slept in one of these chambers, turning it into a place of hope.
