4 January

Morning:
Ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
This [is] not [your] rest.--There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.--Which [hope]
we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that Within the
veil; where the forerunner hath for us entered, [even] Jesus. In my Father's house are many
mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am,
[there] ye may be also. --With Christ; which is far better. God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain: for the former things have passed away.--There the wicked cease [from] troubling;
and there the weary are at rest. Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where your
treasure is, there will your heart be also.--Set your affection on things above, not on things on the
earth.
De 12:9 Mic 2:10 Heb 4:9 6:19,20 Joh 14:2,3 Php 1:23 Re 21:4 Job 3:17 Mt 6:20,21 Col 3:2
Evening:
O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? The sting of death [is] sin.--But
now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered
to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him he shall appear the second time without
sin to salvation. Since then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise
took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that
is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to
bondage. I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a
good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness.
