Collect

O God,
you wonderfully created
and yet more wonderfully restored
the dignity of human nature;
grant that we may share the divine life
of your Son Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen.

New Testament Reading - A new Creation

thumb

17When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!

18All these new things are from God who brought us back to himself through what Christ Jesus did. And God has given us the privilege of urging everyone to come into his favor and be reconciled to him. 19For God was in Christ, restoring the world to himself, no longer counting men’s sins against them but blotting them out. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others. 20We are Christ’s ambassadors. God is using us to speak to you: we beg you, as though Christ himself were here pleading with you, receive the love he offers you — be reconciled to God. 21For God took the sinless Christ and poured into him our sins. Then, in exchange, he poured God’s goodness into us!a

. . . . . 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
  1. Literally, “Him who knew no sin, he made sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.”

Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.

Loving creator of all,
watch over us this night
and keep us in the light of your presence.
May our praise continually blend
with the song of all creation,
until we come to those eternal joys
which you promise in your love;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen
