Theme: Real greatness
1st Reading: Isaiah, Chapter 49:1-6
Our call to discipleship,
or greatness for that matter, begins even before our birth. God equips us for
the job, and though we may feel inadequate, he assures us of our reward because
we remain a beacon of hope to the nations.
2nd Reading: Acts, Chapter 13: 22-26
Paul draws on the
reverence of King David by the Hebrews, and compares that to Jesus, the
Messiah. The role of John the Baptist in the scheme of things is that of
fore-runner to the King of kings.
Gospel Reading: Luke, chapter 1:57-66, 80
The events of the day
when John the Baptist was named confirm the greatness God placed on the child
even before his birth.
