Your Light has Come
Arise, shine, for your light has come:
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
Behold darkness covers the earth:
and thick darkness is over the peoples.
But upon you the Lord shall rise:
and the glory of the Lord will appear upon you.
New Testament Reading - Respect your rulers
13For the Lord’s sake, obey every law of your government: those of the king as head of the state, 14and those of the king’s officers, for he has sent them to punish all who do wrong, and to honor those who do right.
15It is God’s will that your good lives should silence those who foolishly condemn the Gospel without knowing what it can do for them, having never experienced its power. 16You are free from the law, but that doesn’t mean you are free to do wrong. Live as those who are free to do only God’s will at all times.
17Show respect for everyone. Love Christians everywhere. Fear God and honor the government.
. . . . . 1 Peter 2: 13-17Behold, my servant, whom I uphold,*
my chosen, in whom my soul delights;
the anointed one on whom my Spirit rests.
