The Birth of John the Baptist.

The Gospel according to Luke.

Luke chapter 1 verses 57-80.

57. When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son.

58. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.

59. On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah,

60. but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”

61. They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”

62. Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child.

63. He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”

64. Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God.

65. All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things.

66. Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.

67. His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:

68. “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,

because he has come to his people and redeemed them.

69. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us

in the house of his servant David.

70. (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago).

71. salvation from our enemies

and from the hand of all who hate us.

72. to show mercy to our ancestors

and to remember his holy covenant,.

73. the oath he swore to our father Abraham:

74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,

and to enable us to serve him without fear

75.in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

76. And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;

for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,

77. to give his people the knowledge of salvation

through the forgiveness of their sins,

78. because of the tender mercy of our God,

by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven

79. to shine on those living in darkness

and in the shadow of death,

to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

80. And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel.

Glory be to God.

Mary Visits Elizabeth.

The Gospel according to Luke.

Luke chapter 1 verses 39-56.

39. At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,.

40. where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth.

41. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb,

and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

42. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!.

43. But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?.

44. As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.

45. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

46. And Mary said:

“My soul glorifies the Lord.

47. and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

48. for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.

From now on all generations will call me blessed,

49. for the Mighty One has done great things for me

holy is his name.

50. His mercy extends to those who fear him,

from generation to generation.

51. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;

he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.

52. He has brought down rulers from their thrones

but has lifted up the humble.

53. He has filled the hungry with good things

but has sent the rich away empty.

54. He has helped his servant Israel,

remembering to be merciful.

55. to Abraham and his descendants forever,

just as he promised our ancestors.”

56. Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

Glory be to God.

The Birth of Jesus Foretold.

The Gospel according to Luke.

Luke chapter 1 verses 26-38.

26. In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth,

a town in Galilee,.

27. to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph,

a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

28. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

29. Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.

30. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.

31. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.

32. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.

The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,

33. and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

34. “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

35. The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.

So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.

36. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age,

and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month.

37. For no word from God will ever fail.”

38. “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

Glory be to God.

Israel’s Unbelief.

The gospel according to Paul.

Romans chapter 9 verse 30-33 to chapter 10 verses 1-21

30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it,

a righteousness that is by faith;

31. but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal.

32. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.

33. As it is written:“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall,

and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

Chapter 10.

10. Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved.

2. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.

3. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own,

they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

4. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

5. Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”.

6. But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”

(that is, to bring Christ down).

7. “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

8. But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”

that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim.

9. If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,

you will be saved.

10. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified,

and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

11. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

12. For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile the same Lord is Lord of all

and richly blesses all who call on him,.

13. for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?

And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?.

15. And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”.

16. But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”.

17. Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

18. But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,

their words to the ends of the world.”

19. Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,“I will make you envious by those who are not a nation;

I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”

20. And Isaiah boldly says,“I was found by those who did not seek me;

I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”

21. But concerning Israel he says,“All day long I have held out my hands

to a disobedient and obstinate people.

Glory be to God.

Paul’s Anguish Over Israel.

The gospel accoring to Paul.

Romans chapter 9 verses 1-18.

1. I speak the truth in Christ I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit.

2. I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.

3. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,.

4. the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants,

the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises.

5. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah,

who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

6. It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

7. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary,

“It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”

8. In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,

but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.

9. For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”

10. Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.

11. Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or

bad in order that God’s purpose in election might stand:

12. not by works but by him who calls she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”

13. Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

14. What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!.

15. For he says to Moses,“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

16. It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

17. For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose,

that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”

18. Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

Glory be to god .

More Than Conquerors.

The gospel accoring to Paul.

Romans chapter 8 verses 31-39.

31. What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?.

32. He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all how will he not also,

along with him, graciously give us all things?

33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.

34. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died more than that,

who was raised to life is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or f

amine or nakedness or danger or sword?. 36. As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

38. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,

neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,.

39. neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate

us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Glory be to god .

Present Suffering and Future Glory.

The gospel accoring to Paul.

Romans chapter 8 verses 18-30.

18. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

19. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

20. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope.

21. that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

22. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

23. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,

groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

24. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?.

25. But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

26. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for,

but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

27. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,

because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

29. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son,

that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

30. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Glory be to god .

Life Through the Spirit.

The gospel accoring to Paul.

Romans chapter 8 verses 7-17.

1. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

2. because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

3. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,

God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.

And so he condemned sin in the flesh,

4. in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us,

who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5. Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;

but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

6. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

7. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

8. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

9. You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit,

if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.

10. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin,

the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.

11. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you,

he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

12. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.

13. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,

you will live.

14. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

15. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather,

the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

16. The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

17. Now if we are children, then we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ,

if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Glory be to god .

Slaves to Righteousness.

A letter to the romans from Paul.

Romans chapter 6 verses 15-23.

15. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!.

16. Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves,

you are slaves of the one you obey whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience,

which leads to righteousness?.

17. But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart

the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.

18. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

19. I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations.

Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness,

so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.

20. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.

21. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!.

22. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God,

the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Glory be to god .

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ.

A letter to the romans from Paul.

Romans chapter 6verses 1-14.

1. What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?

2. By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

3. Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?.

4. We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,

just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

5. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.

6. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,

that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

7. because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

8. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

9. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

10. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

11. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

13. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,

but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life;

and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.

14. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

Glory be to god .
