Lectionary for 6/8/09

Today's readings are Proverbs 5.1-23 and John 12.20-36a.

Since yesterday was Trinity Sunday we return to the calendar-based readings.  Those will continue until Ash Wednesday of 2010.

Today we have two calls to follow Christ in wholehearted obedience.  In Proverbs we are reminded that our ways are visible to the Lord, both the way of righteousness and the faithlessness we choose which leads to destruction.  In John we see that we win by losing, we live by dying.

As we work our way into the Time of the Church, let us realize that Christ has died so we can live, that our live is in Christ, and that our Lord does indeed remain forever.  Let us walk this year in belief in the true power of the resurrected Lord.
