Morning: Leviticus 4:12; John 19:16–18; 2 Corinthians 4:17; Philippians 3:10; Hebrews 13:11–13; 1 Peter 4:13 “All the rest of the bull—he shall carry outside the camp to a clean place, to the ash heap, and shall burn it up on a fire of wood.” So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. There they crucified him.—For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.—Share his sufferings. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.—For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.
