Epistle Reflection
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me:
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good tidings to the afflicted.
Therefore I will greatly rejoice in the Lord:
my soul shall exult in my God,
for God has robed me with salvation
as a garment:
and clothed me with integrity as a cloak.
Amen.
New Testament Reading - God's age-old purpose
8Just think! Though I did nothing to deserve it, and though I am the most useless Christian there is, yet I was the one chosen for this special joy of telling the Gentiles the Glad News of the endless treasures available to them in Christ; 9 and to explain to everyone that God is the Saviour of the Gentiles too, just as he who made all things had secretly planned from the very beginning.
10And his reason? To show to all the rulers in heaven how perfectly wise he is when all of his family - Jews and Gentiles alike - are seen to be joined together in his church, 11 in just the way he had always planned it through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Now we can come fearlessly right into God's presence, assured of his glad welcome when we come with Christ and trust in him.
. . . . . Ephesians 3:8-12Intercession
Pray for 3 people on your heart ending with the prayer below.
Remember, O Lord, your compassion and love,
for they are from everlasting.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Let the sorrowful sighing of the prisoners come before you;
and by your great might,
spare those who are condemned to die.
Christ, have mercy. E te Karaiti, kia aroha mai.
Lord, give strength to your people,
and give us your blessing of peace.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Amen.
