"It would be well for us to spend a thoughtful hour each day in
contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point, and let the
imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones. As we thus dwell upon His great
sacrifice for us, our confidence in Him will be more constant, our love will be quickened,
and we shall be more deeply imbued with His spirit. If we would be saved at last, we must
learn the lesson of penitence and humiliation at the foot of the cross. " from
the Story of Christ
Devotionette Daily Light on the Daily Path
Prepared by Jonathan Bagster and Other Members of His family.
One of the most beloved devotionals of all time. Each Morning and Evening
devotion is a short Bible study with scriptures from the King James Bible compiled
according to a biblical theme, with no anecdotes, commentary, or stories to distract the
reader, thus permitting the scriptures to speak for themselves. The devotions are often
sequential, carrying a theme from morning to morning or evening to evening.
1 Corinthians - Thirteenth Chapter
If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don't have love, I
have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know
all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but
don't have love, I am nothing. If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give
my body to be burned, but don't have love, it profits me nothing.
Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't
behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account
of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all
things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But
where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various
languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. For we
know in part, and we prophesy in part; but when that which is complete has come, then that
which is partial will be done away with. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as
a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish
things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but
then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known. But now faith, hope, and love
remain -- these three. The greatest of these is love. (World English Bible)
