AFFIRM
How
good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like
precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on
Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. Psalm 133:1-2

Mark
14:61-65 (NLT)
But Jesus was silent and made no reply. Then the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
Jesus said, “I Am. And you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy. What is your verdict?”
“Guilty!” they all cried. “He deserves to die!”
Then some of them began to spit at him, and they blindfolded him and beat him with their fists. “Prophesy to us,” they jeered. And the guards slapped him as they took him away.
REFLECT
The water of a river that rises in one land flows
through many different territories before it returns to the sea from which it
was originally drawn. It passes within the borders of many chiefs and
rajahs and princes. Yet no one can stop it within his territories, for it
is not his possession. It is the common property of all, and wherever it
goes it quenches the thirst of all. So, too, the stream of the water of
life comes forth from the infinite ocean of God, and flowing through the divine
channels of prophets and apostles irrigates the whole world, quenching the
thirst of all and enriching and making fruitful the lives of all peoples and
nations. “And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely”
(Rev. 22:17).
—Sadhu Sundar Singh (1889-1929)
DECLARE
"Worthy
is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and
strength and honor and glory and praise!" Then I heard
every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and
all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the
Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!"
Revelation 5:12-13
