Morning

I have laid help upon [one that is] mighty; I have exalted [one] chosen out of the people.

I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no saviour.--[There is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.--There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

The mighty God.--[Who] made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.--We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.--Forasmuch . . . as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same.

Ps 89:19 Isa 43:11 1Ti 2:5 Ac 4:12 Isa 9:6 Php 2:7-9 Heb 2:9,14

Evening

Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.--He is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, . . . they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am.--Then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.--If [any] of thine be driven out unto the outmost [parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee.

The dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Ps 50:5 Heb 9:28,15 Joh 17:24 Mr 13:27 De 30:4 1Th 4:16,17
