Epistle and Gospel Readings from Philippians and Luke

Slide Note

The Epistle reading from Philippians encourages imitating good examples, focusing on heavenly pursuits over earthly desires, and steadfastness in faith. In the Gospel reading from Luke, Jesus addresses Pharisees warning of Herod's threat, emphasizes his mission, and expresses lament for Jerusalem's rejection. Both readings emphasize the importance of faith, imitation of Christ, and perseverance in the face of opposition.

Epistle Reading: Philippians 3:17 4:1

Philippians 3:17 4:1 17 Keep on imitating me, my friends. Pay attention to those who follow the right example that we have set for you. 18 I have told you this many times before, and now I repeat it with tears: there are many whose lives make them enemies of Christ's death on the cross. 19 They are going to end up in hell, because their god is their bodily desires.

Philippians 3:17 4:1 They are proud of what they should be ashamed of, and they think only of things that belong to this world. 20 We, however, are citizens of heaven, and we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven. 21 He will change our weak mortal bodies and make them like his own glorious body, using that power by which he is able to bring all things under his rule.

Philippians 3:17 4:1 4:1 So then, my friends, how dear you are to me and how I miss you! How happy you make me, and how proud I am of you! this, dear friends, is how you should stand firm in your life in the Lord.

Gospel Reading: Luke 13:31 35

Luke 13:31 35 31 At that same time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, You must get out of here and go somewhere else, because Herod wants to kill you. 32 Jesus answered them, Go and tell that fox: I am driving out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I shall finish my work.

Luke 13:31 35 33 Yet I must be on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day; it is not right for a prophet to be killed anywhere except in Jerusalem.

Luke 13:31 35 34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets, you stone the messengers God has sent you! How many times I wanted to put my arms around all your people, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not let me! 35 And so your Temple will be abandoned. I assure you that you will not see me until the time comes when you say, God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord.
