Theme: For faithful people life is changed, not ended.
1st
Reading: Wisdom,
chapter 3: 1 - 9
Scripture paints a picture of unsurpassed peace and
unparalleled bliss of the hereafter. Even though the world thinks our passing
away is for the worse, these verses should strengthen our faith in what God our
Creator has in store for us.
2nd
Reading: Romans,
chapter 5: 5 - 11
This scripture teaches that salvation is God’s own initiative
that is meant to show us how much he loves us, though we are unworthy of his
saving grace.
OR
Romans, chapter 6: 3 - 9
Our baptism into Christ ushers us into a life that is dead to
sin, but alive in Christ. Sin’s power over us is broken, and so we should see
ourselves as sharing a new life with Christ, the Messiah.
Gospel Reading: John, chapter 6: 37 - 40
We hear the reassuring promise that God wants all of us to be
saved. Nobody who turns to our Lord will be rejected. And because of his
meritorious death and resurrection, Jesus has the power to raise us up, to an
everlasting life with him.
