MORNING

Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

John 10:7

The veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. — Christ … hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. — The way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing.

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

No man cometh unto the Father, but by me. — Through him we … have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God. — Having … boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh. — We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

EVENING

His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

Jeremiah 20:9

Necessity is laid upon me; yea woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. — They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, … We cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. — The love of Christ constraineth us.

I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth … Thou wicked and slothful servant, … thou oughtest … to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

Go … to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee.
