God's Chosen One
There shall come forth a shoot
from the stump of Jesse:
and a branch shall grow out of its roots,
and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him:
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might:
the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
New Testament Reading - No lasting city here
10We have an altar — the cross where Christ was sacrificed — where those who continue to seek salvation by obeying Jewish laws can never be helped. 11Under the system of Jewish laws, the high priest brought the blood of the slain animals into the sanctuary as a sacrifice for sin, and then the bodies of the animals were burned outside the city. 12That is why Jesus suffered and died outside the city, where his blood washed our sins away.
13So let us go out to him beyond the city walls (that is, outside the interests of this world, being willing to be despiseda) to suffer with him there, bearing his shame. 14 For this world is not our home; we are looking forward to our everlasting home in heaven.
15With Jesus’ help we will continually offer our sacrifice of praise to God by telling others of the glory of his name. 16Don’t forget to do good and to share what you have with those in need, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to him.
