Jesus is Bringing You to Glory!
Let’s prepare our hearts and minds for the Sunday, October 10 worship service and sermon (In-Person 9:30 AM & In-person/Livestream at 11:00 AM) by reviewing the bible readings, confession, and reflection. See you Sunday!
Bible Reading 1: John 17:1-5 (ESV)
The High Priestly Prayer
17 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
Confession/Creed: Larger Catechism Q. 27
Q. 27. Wherein did Christ's humiliation consist?
A. Christ's humiliation consisted in his being born, and that in a low condition, made under the law, undergoing the miseries of this life, the wrath of God, and the cursed death of the cross; in being buried, and continuing under the power of death for a time.
Bible Reading 2: Hebrews 2:10-13 (ESV)
10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying,
“I will tell of your name to my brothers;
in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”
13 And again, “I will put my trust in him.”
And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
Reflection
The Bible makes an important theological point: Christ died and rose again not merely to save us but also to make us worshipers of his father. This is fulfilled in our churches today; literally, Hebrews 2:12 concludes, “I will sing hymns in the church.”
