Epistle Reflection

Holy One, holy and eternal,
awesome, exciting and delightful in your holiness;
make us pure in heart to see you;
make us merciful to receive your kindness,
and to share our love with all your human family;
then will your name be hallowed on earth as in heaven.
Amen.

New Testament Reading - Loss and gain

thumb

7But all these things that I once thought very worthwhile — now I’ve thrown them all away so that I can put my trust and hope in Christ alone. 8Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have put aside all else, counting it worth less than nothing, in order that I can have Christ, 9and become one with him, no longer counting on being saved by being good enough or by obeying God’s laws, but by trusting Christ to save me; for God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith — counting on Christ alone. 10Now I have given up everything else — I have found it to be the only way to really know Christ and to experience the mighty power that brought him back to life again, and to find out what it means to suffer and to die with him. 11So whatever it takes, I will be one who lives in the fresh newness of life of those who are alive from the dead.
