Daily Readings for Sunday January 13,2013
Reading 1, Num 10:29-36 : Moses leads the people of Israel
| Numbers 10 |
|
| 29 | And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reu'el the Mid'ianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, `I will give it to you'; come with us, and we will do you good; for the LORD has promised good to Israel." |
| 30 | But he said to him, "I will not go; I will depart to my own land and to my kindred." |
| 31 | And he said, "Do not leave us, I pray you, for you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us. |
| 32 | And if you go with us, whatever good the LORD will do to us, the same will we do to you." |
| 33 | So they set out from the mount of the LORD three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them. |
| 34 | And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp. |
| 35 | And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, "Arise, O LORD, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee." |
| 36 | And when it rested, he said, "Return, O LORD, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel." |
Reading 2, Is 45:11-17 : Israel is saved by the Lord with everlasting salvation
| Isaiah 45 |
|
| 11 | Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: "Will you question me about my children, or command me concerning the work of my hands? |
| 12 | I made the earth, and created man upon it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host. |
| 13 | I have aroused him in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways; he shall build my city and set my exiles free, not for price or reward," says the LORD of hosts. |
| 14 | Thus says the LORD: "The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabe'ans, men of stature, shall come over to you and be yours, they shall follow you; they shall come over in chains and bow down to you. They will make supplication to you, saying: `God is with you only, and there is no other, no god besides him.'" |
| 15 | Truly, thou art a God who hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Savior. |
| 16 | All of them are put to shame and confounded, the makers of idols go in confusion together. |
| 17 | But Israel is saved by the LORD with everlasting salvation; you shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity. |
Reading 3, Heb 3:1-6 : Jesus is greater than Moses
| Hebrews 3 |
|
| 1 | Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. |
| 2 | He was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in God's house. |
| 3 | Yet Jesus has been counted worthy of as much more glory than Moses as the builder of a house has more honor than the house. |
| 4 | (For every house is built by some one, but the builder of all things is God.) |
| 5 | Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, |
| 6 | but Christ was faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house if we hold fast our confidence and pride in our hope. |
Gospel, Jn 1:14-18 : Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ
| John 1 |
|
| 14 | And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. |
| 15 | (John bore witness to him, and cried, "This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'") |
| 16 | And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace. |
| 17 | For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. |
| 18 | No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known. |
