VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Not only that, but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits—we also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.” (Romans 8:23)

The soul has obtained its redemption. Therefore, our heart is glad and our glory rejoicing. But our body has not yet obtained its redemption. That is to come at the resurrection. Then will be the adoption. “Waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.” Oh, blessed fact! Though now, along with the whole creation, the body is subjected to bondages, yet it shall be delivered, and we—the whole man, body as well as soul and spirit—shall be brought into the liberty of the children of God.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Batahin of Sudan.

Psalm 82:8 says “all the nations belong to you.” The Batahin belong to Jesus, but they have not given themselves to him. For the name of Jesus, we must go.

Pray that the gospel would be preached among the Batahin and believed.
