Daily Sacrifice, June 20 (27:33,35)
“When they were come unto a place called Golgotha ... .. they crucified Him”— Matthew 27:33, 35.
GOLGOTHA! Calvary! The Place of a Skull! — what sacred memories cluster around these words! Before our Lord was crucified they meant nothing to anyone except as designating a place outside the walls of Jerusalem for the execution of criminals—offenders against the laws of mighty Rome. But for more than nineteen centuries since the Son of Man was lifted up, the very name Calvary, or its equivalent in other tongues, has stirred the hearts of millions as the symbol of a love that was stronger than death, which the many waters of judgment could not quench.
