Daily Light for January 20

[Post-o-Matic 3.16† 0]

Morning

And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.—For you have exalted above all things your name and your word.

“And they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).—“And you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

“That all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father.”—Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name.—Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet.—He has a name written that no one knows but himself . . . King of kings and Lord of lords.

The Almighty—we cannot find him.—What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know!

Evening

“But the LORD's portion is his people.”

And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.—I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.—And I am his.—The Son of God . . . loved me and gave himself for me.

You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.—“But the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be a people of his own inheritance, as you are this day.”

You are God's field, God's building.—But Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.—A spiritual house . . . a holy priesthood.—“They shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession.”—“All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.”—The riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints.
