Bible Saturday 12/14: They Chose Barabbas

Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?

Psalms 110:1-7. Verse 3 KJV, beauty of holiness. How many specific examples of this can I note as today unfolds? 

Daniel 6:1-28. What lions do I need God to protect me from today? What posture of prayer (verse 10) will ready me to receive his protection?

Revelation 16:17-21. Verse 17 KJV, “It is done.” Related question, what specific grace from the finished work of Christ crucified and risen do I need today?

Luke 23:13-25. What has this mob, howling for Jesus to be crucified, to do with the light and joy of my Christmas celebration?
