The Third Sunday in Advent
EZEKIEL 39:7 (MSG)
I’ll reveal my holy name among my people Israel. Never again will I let my holy name be dragged in the mud. Then the nations will realize that I, GOD, am The Holy in Israel.
JOHN 17:26 (CEB)
I’ve made your name known to them and will continue to make it known so that your love for me will be in them, and I myself will be in them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus introduces us to God so we can know his love.
PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for sending your Son Jesus into the world so that we can know you. I admit that I don't think much about who you are -- how different you are -- how wonderful your love is. Yes, I know those things on a surface level but I don't give your name the kind of attention it deserves. Show me more of Jesus so that I can know more of you. I'm going to attend first to you. Amen.
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
