July 4

Early Christians traced the outline of a fish on their homes, tombs, and catacombs to identify themselves to each other. The fish was used because the Greek word for fish was a simple code in which each letter stood for another word. The five letters stood for the words Jesus Christ, God ’s Son, Saviour.

Every knee shall bow to Jesus,

Every tongue confess His name.

Every knee shall bow to Jesus,

Here with joy, or there with shame.

Bow to Jesus, bow to Jesus,

Bow your heart to Jesus now.

And he is the head of the body, the church . . .

Colossians 1:18 KJV

How wonderful to be in the company of Your people, Lord, and all the others who have gone before us as Your servants!
