Nearer my God to Thee... - Dr Lilian Stanley

Nearer my God to Thee...

John loved Jesus so much that he always wanted to be at His side.  In the last supper too he quickly reserved his seat next to Jesus.  Oh, may we be so.  Even though no disciple dared to get near the cross, including Peter who promised never to leave Him, John boldly stood near the cross.  Keep close to Jesus,leaning on Him ( Jn 21:20,24).  

     Not only that John loved Jesus, but he was a "disciple whom Jesus loved." The more we love Him, the more He loves us.  The closer we get to Him, the closer He gets to us.  Jesus loved all His disciples ( Jn 13:1), but the degree varied. May we not be one among the crowd that surrounded Him, or one among the seventy or one among the twelve or one among the three, but the one leaning on His bosom ( Jn 13:23).

May we be named as the "disciple whom Jesus loves."

Flogging - Dr Lilian Stanley

Flogging - Dr Lilian Stanley 26Jan23 Do you know what it means to be flogged?  The Jews limited their flogging to 39. But the Romans had no limit. The Romans were more cruel than the Jews.  The Romans used a leather whip that had thongs laced with sharp pieces of iron or bone.  According to ancient writers, sometimes during flogging, the victim's bowels would come out or bones exposed. Why was there a need to flog a man who was to be crucified?  Just to torture him.  God judged Jesus Christ for the sins of the world that came upon Him.  But for that we would be flogged for our sins.  Let us fall prostrate at His feet for taking our flogging on Him.

Through The Kidron Valley - Dr Lilian Stanley

  Through The Kidron Valley      The Kidron valley was the dump - yard for Jerusalem in its outskirts where ashes, dead bodies and broken idols were thrown (1 Ki 2:37; 1 Ki 15:13; 2 Ki 23:4,6,12; 2 Chronicles 29:16; 30:14; Jer 31:40).  David and Jesus walked through the valley with a heavy heart (2 Sam 15:23; Jn 18:1).  Both had enemies (Absalom, Judas).  Both were gheraoed by a gang (Absalom's people and Jews).  Both went through the valley singing (Psa 3, Mk 14:26).  Both had supporters (Faithful subjects and Disciples).  Both came back to Jerusalem victorious as kings, David after the war and Jesus after His resurrection.  Both forgave their enemies.         Let us go through our Kidron singing.  God has provided a brook for us there (2 Sam 15:23). Let us follow their example.  God will turn our mourning into dancing.
