DAILY SCRIPTURE READINGS LEADING TO Sunday November 27, 2005
Monday:
John 1:1-18 Before the Birth
In the beginning reminds us of Genesis and of all things before God created. This passage offers that Jesus was with God and had a part in creation from the very beginning. Beautifully written, this is a wonderful passage upon which to meditate.
Tuesday:
Isaiah 53:1-12 The Servant Song
As you read consider Jesus Christ in every verse.
Wednesday:
Hebrews 8 The New Covenant
Read about Jesus and our covenant. Now Pray!
Thursday:
Matthew 27:1-54 The End of Life
The death of Jesus Christ was painful. Couldn’t God have figured another way? And yet, Jesus is God and takes the sin of the world so that we might have salvation and everlasting life. Any offering we could give had the potential of being easily corrupted. Only an offering from God, of God, would be good enough. See the love?
Friday:
John 18 The End of Life II
We need another witness to offer another testimony of what happened. Here is John’s.
Saturday:
John 19 & 20 The Significance of Jesus’ Death
An odd reading for this time of year, perhaps. We are much more comfortable with this reading at Easter. What could the death of Jesus have to do with Christmas? Even more important; what does Jesus’ death have to say to us in the midst of our preparing for the baby Jesus’ birth? The short answer is: Everything. For the long answer: Read the entire Bible. We will go with the short answer Sunday focus deeply on the love of God.
From the humble birth in a stable to an even more humbling death upon a cross, we find meaning in both events. Placing the beginning and what appears to be an ending side by side we make a life changing discovery. It is about love. It is all about love!
Sunday: Reflect and Worship
