DAILY READINGS: Gen. 45; Psalms 23-24; Matt. 26:1-30

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold...but with the precious blood of Christ, as
of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 1 Peter 1:18-19

The blood of Christ is precious because of its infinite value to God
and to the redeemed. It is precious because it will never lose its
power in cleansing the vilest of sinners. Never depreciate the value of
the precious blood. What a great dishonour we bring to God and to
the Lamb when we limit its value, its effectiveness and its atonement!
He could give no more than when He sacrificially shed His precious
blood for you, for me and for the whole world!
—Jim Comte

Precious blood, whose full atonement, bringeth us to God!
Precious blood, our song and glory, praise and laud! —Frances R. Havergal
