MORAVIAN DAILY TEXT
First Sunday after Epiphany
Watchword for the week – A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. Isaiah 42:3
Sunday, January 11 – Isaiah 42:1-9; Psalm 29; Acts 10:34-43; Matthew 3:13-17
The mighty one, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. Psalm 50:1
Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. Mark 16:15
Gracious God, you sent your son to teach us the ways of justice and mercy. We pray for your forgiveness when we have failed to see the face of Christ reflected in our human siblings. Help us to act out your good news every day, in deed as well as word. This, we humbly pray. Amen.
Belief of the Church
With the whole of Christendom, we share faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe and confess that God has revealed Himself once and for all in His Son Jesus Christ; that our Lord has redeemed us with whole of mankind by His death and His resurrection; and that there is no salvation apart from Him. We believe that He is present with us in the Word and the Sacrament; that He directs and unites us through His Spirit and thus forms us into a Church. We hear Him summoning us to follow Him, and pray Him to use us in His Service. He joins us together mutually so that knowing ourselves to be members of His Body we become willing to serve each other.
