Daily Bible Reading Day 153

2Chronicles 4-6; John 12:20-50.  Solomon has the bronze altar built. It is big and has oxen (bronze) underneath.  He made 10 basins for washing the utensils needed for making the offerings. He made a bigger basin (sea) for the priests to wash. He brings the ark and places it in the temple. Then he assembles everyone. The musicians play, the singers sing, and God fills the temple with His Cloud. Solomon then has his dedication speech/prayer. He basically reminds the people that they have obligations to God and when those obligations are violated if they pray earnestly to God, God will heal them of their afflictions. 

Some Greeks come to Philip and request an audience with Jesus. Jesus tells them (us) of the importance of following him and doing his word. He didn't come to judge us but to save us but his word will judge us if we reject it.
