Reading 3, Rom 13:11-14 : It is now the moment for you to wake from sleep
Romans 13 |
|
11 | Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; |
12 | the night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; |
13 | let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. |
14 | But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
Gospel, Lk 1:18-20 : The unbelief of Zechariah
Luke 1 |
|
18 | And Zechari'ah said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years." |
19 | And the angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. |
20 | And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time." |
