Monday, October 13 — Psalm 118:15-21
2 Samuel 3:1-34; John 6:60-71
Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? Isaiah 43:18-19
When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?” Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. Matthew 11:2-5
King of kings, help us to put the past behind us and to rejoice in the new beginning of forgiveness. Give us courage to share the good news of salvation. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
