Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Prince of Glory. Yeah. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3.
Ooh. One of the most precious hymns of the Christian faith is When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, written by Isaac Watts. Let us use its rich rehearsal of truth and poetry to guide our Bible study these next four days. Yeah. When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride.
The great king of all creation laid aside aspects of his immortal attributes and became a mortal man so he could die for us. Simultaneously, man and God, he endured death for condemned sinners, but he re-entered his lifeless body. The hymn writer called him the Prince of Glory, a fitting affirmation for the eternal Son of the Father. Having once again retaken His created life, the Creator offers us eternal life, a free gift to undeserving sinners. He paid the sufficient price for all our sin, thereby removing all penalties levied against sinful man, and He offered us eternal life.
God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 6, 14. Nothing we do in this life gains us eternity. Works are worthless. I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung that I may win Christ.
Philippians three, eight. Working for rewards can avail nothing, but rather we look to the cross of our wondrous Christ. Yeah. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. And please rate and review so more listeners can find us.
