This Week’s Bible Reading

By Editor

Our week's reading includes First and Second Peter, and Psalms 127-135, 137, 138. First Peter was written about the year 60, and Second Peter supposedly about the year 66. Both of them are doubtless the epistles of Simon Peter the apostle. There is a striking similarity between Second Peter and Jude. Both of them are very practical. Both of them look forward to the glorious triumph of the Christian at the second coming of Christ. The twelve psalms in this week's readings are both instructive and inspiring, filled with the spirit of true worship. Psalm 137 is another song which grew out of the exile, while Psalm 138 is another psalm of David that was evidently written, or collected, after the first seventy-two were brought together. The last day brings us to the wonderful book of Revelation, the first two chapters, written by John the apostle in the Isle of Patmos, near the close of the century. And our reading concludes with Psalm 46, of the triumph of God's people over all things earthly.
