Today’s Quote
Christ’s eternal love is the golden thread that binds our lives to Him.
— Matthew Henry
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Christ’s love for you didn’t start when you were born; He loved you before there were any people on earth. Often, He thought of you; from everlasting to everlasting, He set His affection on you. I’m sure He wouldn’t have loved me this long if He weren’t a constant, unchanging Lover. If He could grow
tired of me, He would have done so long ago. If His love weren’t as deep as life and as strong as death, He would have turned away from me by now. Oh, the joy of knowing that I am His eternal and unchanging inheritance, given to Him by the Father.

Sin is a terrible power that gains strength from restraint and thrives on what should destroy it. It kills people by using what was meant to bring life. It turns Heaven’s gifts into stepping stones to Hell, lights the way to destruction with the lamps
of the temple, and, like in the case of Uzzah, turns the ark of the Lord into a messenger of death. Who wouldn’t run to Christ, who alone can deliver us from this terrifying power?
