Wednesday, December 6, 2023 Midweek Contemplation (Isaiah 40:1)
Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.
If you are wondering where our Scripture passages come for us to read on Sundays, it is quite simple. We follow Common Lectionary or readings of Scripture passages picked by people of many different Christian denominations/groups to use on Sundays. We are now on Year B of this reading list. For this coming Sunday, the readings are: Isaiah 40:1-11, Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13, 2 Peter 3:8-15a and Mark 1:1-8.
One reason we make an effort to use the Common Lectionary is to cover the Bible in three years with passages from all parts of the Bible. This method of going through the Bible helps ministers, preachers and pastors to learn from all parts of the Bible because everyone has a tendency to stick with passages we like and use the ones we want most of the time.
