Daily Office Readings for Thursday after the 4th Sunday of Easter: Year 2
Psalm 50; Psalm [59, 60];114, 115; Exod. 34:1-17; 1 Thess. 2:13-20; Matt. 5:21-26
We also constantly give thanks to God for this, that when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word but as what it really is, God’s word, which is also at work in you believers. (1 Thessalonians 2:3)
We are the vessels of the Word of God! God speaks of love. That means we, as we carry out the word of God, we present love in word and deed to all whom we encounter. We are the cup of Christ. This is the Baptism that brought us into the Christian faith.
Please remember, “In the beginning was the Word.” The Word was initiated for hearing and believing. Many times I have said that we are people of stories. God is in your story no matter who you are. You are God’s own. Therefore, God’s self is in you. I give thanks for you knowing and believing that you are continuing the Word of God by telling your own truths about how God has acted, and is acting, in your life. Thank You Jesus.
Yes, we are human. But we are also God’s Word. This Word of God is at work in each of us whether we acknowledge it or not. Just as our Lord Jesus is the Word of God, so too are we the word of God being made in the Image of God and brothers and sisters of Christ Jesus.
Let us hear what the Spirit is saying to and through the saints of God and then ponder anew what the Almighty can do. John
