My Daily Meditation
5 And from Jesus Christ which is that faithful witness, and that first begotten of the dead, and that Prince of the Kings of the earth, unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his blood (a)
The Book of Revelations Chapter 1:5
(a) Notation - A most ample and grave commendation of Christ, first from his offices the Priesthood and kingdoms, secondly from his benefits, as his love toward us, and washing us with his blood, in this verse, and communication of his kingdom and Priesthood with us: thirdly from his eternal glory and power, which always is to be celebrated of us
30 For that day shall the Priest make an atonement for you to cleanse you: ye shall be clean from all your sins before the Lord.
The Book of Leviticus Chapter 16:30
4 And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
5 So likewise Christ took not to himself this honor to be made the high Priest, but he that said unto him, Thou art my son, this day begat I thee, gave it him.
6 As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek,
9 And being consecrated, was made the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him:
10 And is called of God an high Priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, which are hard to be uttered, because ye are dull of hearing.
The Epistle to the Hebrews Chapter 5:4-5, 9-11
6 And that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority in earth to forgive sins then said he unto the sick of the palsy, Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thine house.
The Gospel According to Matthew Chapter 9:6
2 And he is the reconciliation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
9 If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The First Epistle of John Chapter 2:2, Chapter 1:9
38 Then Peter said unto them, Amend your lives, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins: and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Ghost.
19 Amend your lives therefore, and turn, that your sins may be put away, when the time of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
The Acts of the Apostles Chapter 2:38, Chapter 3:19
Read One Psalm a Day
Psalm Ninety
1 Lord, thou hast been our habitation from
generation to generation.
2 Before the mountains were made, and before
thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, even
from everlasting to everlasting thou art our God.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction: again thou
sayest, Return ye sons of Adam.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday
when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou hast overflowed them, they are as a sleep,
in the morning he groweth like the grass:
6 In the morning it flourisheth and groweth, but
in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by
thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and
our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are past in thine anger: we have
spent our years as a thought.
10 The time of our life is threescore years and
ten, and if they be of strength, fourscore years: yet
their strength is but labor and sorrow: for it is cut
off quickly, and we flee away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for
according to thy fear is thine anger.
12 Teach us so to number our days, that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return (O Lord, how long?) and be pacified
toward thy servants.
14 Fill us with thy mercy in the morning: so shall
we rejoice and be glad all our days?
15 Comfort us according to the days that thou
hast afflicted us, and according to the years that we
have seen evil.
16 Let thy work be seen toward thy servants, and
thy glory upon their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be
upon us, and direct thou the work of our hands
upon us, even direct the work of our hands.
