Holy God, you feed us
with earthly and with spiritual food.
Deathless, unalterable, you have chosen us,
sinful as we are,
to hear your word and to proclaim your truth.
Alleluia! Make us salt of the earth;
make us yeast in the loaf.
Amen.
New Testament Reading - Springs of water of life
13Then one of the twenty-four Elders asked me, “Do you know who these are, who are clothed in white, and where they come from?”
14“No, sir,” I replied. “Please tell me.”
“These are the ones coming out of the Great Tribulation,” he said; “they washed their robes and whitened them by the blood of the Lamb. 15That is why they are here before the throne of God, serving him day and night in his temple. The one sitting on the throne will shelter them; 16they will never be hungry again, nor thirsty, and they will be fully protected from the scorching noontime heat. 17For the Lamb standing in front of the thronea will feed them and be their Shepherd and lead them to the springs of the Water of Life. And God will wipe their tears away.”
. . . . . Revelation 7:13-17- Literally, “in the center of the throne”; i.e., directly in front, not to one side. An alternate rendering might be, “at the heart of the throne.”
