Zechariah 11: 4-17 What’s Zechariah about?
The leaders have exploited the people and used them for profit and betrayed their people. Zechariah announces that God will abandon the people, forgetting God’s covenant to protect them. Zechariah takes on the role of being an abusive shepherd.
Luke 18: 31-43 What’s Luke about?
Jesus again tells his disciples that he must be killed but they do not want to understand. He heals a blind man as he prepares to walk toward Jerusalem, and this story makes it clear that the disciples will eventually come to see what Jesus means.
This week’s collect:
Almighty and everlasting God,
whose will it is to restore all things
in your well-beloved Son, our Lord and King,
grant that the peoples of the earth,
now divided and enslaved by sin,
may be freed and brought together
under his gentle and loving rule;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
