Fri.-Sabbath, 12/31/21-1/2/22 Devotion

Happy New Year!

Praise God—Sunday is ALMOST here! In order to help prepare us for Sab-bath worship of the Triune God, here is the great Thomas Watson, from his wonderful book, "A Body of Divinity":

“Let us go to Christ's blood for peace. Some people seek their peace from their own righteousness, not Christ's. They go for peace to their holy life, not Christ's death. If their conscience is troubled, they strive to quiet it with their duties. This is not the right way to attain peace. Duties must not be neglected, nor yet idolized.

“Let us look to the blood of sprinkling, (Heb. 12:24). That blood of Christ which pacified God, must pacify our consciences. Christ's blood being taken in by faith, gives peace. 'Being justified by faith, we have peace with God,' (Rom. 5:1). There is no other balm to cure a wounded conscience, but the blood of Christ."
