Psalm 87
A vision of Jerusalem as the source of life for all the world, as if every nation and every beautiful thing originated there. Christians might interpret this as Jesus’ death and resurrection in Jerusalem being the source of life and beauty for the whole world.
Psalm 90
Our lives are very short, like a breath we are gone, we are so insignificant. Bless us, God.
Joel 3.9-17 What’s Joel about?
God challenges all the surrounding armies to send their best soldiers—God is about to act with justice and safety for Israel and utterly destroy their oppressors. This concludes the book of Joel.
Luke 16.10-17 What’s Luke about?
Jesus demands that commitment to the kingdom is essential—otherwise we will not have life.
This week’s collect:
Eternal God,
who caused all holy scriptures
to be written for our learning,
grant us so to hear them,
read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,
that we may embrace and ever hold fast
the blessed hope of everlasting life,
which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
