Numbers 34; Luke 3:1–20
I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, by whose observance everyone shall live. Ezekiel 20:11
God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only son into the world so that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9
O Giver of law and love, we thank you for offering to us, through the lives and teaching of patriarchs and prophets, guidance for righteous and productive living. Even more, we thank you for your gift of Jesus Christ whose life and teaching call us to his new law of love for you and our neighbor. Through Christ’s life, suffering, death and resurrection, he reconciled us to yourself through the forgiveness of sin and the gift of your Spirit. We give you the glory for the great things you have done. Amen.
