Day 362 - (Today’s Bible readings: Isaiah 22:15-25; Psalm 147; 2 Corinthians 12:1-10)
♬ On the fourth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Four Calling Birds
Three French Hens
Two Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
Why four Calling Birds on the Fourth Day of Christmas? Four Calling Birds represent the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
The beginning of John’s Gospel captures the focus of all four Gospels, namely Jesus our Savior.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ” (John 1:1-5 ESV)
Lord Jesus, thank You for revealing Yourself to me by means of the first four books of the New Testament. Thank You for shining the light of forgiveness into my life of darkness. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow!
