Readings IN Church, August 5, 2012

Here is a summary of the readings many of us wil hear in church this coming Sunday. Even if your congregation doesn't use the general three year cycle of readings, I pray our Lord Jesus will use them to encourage and strengthen your faith in Him alone. The readings for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost are Ex. 16:2-15, Eph. 4:1-16, and John 6:22-35. Today’s readings speak of the sustenance our Lord Jesus gives us for our journey of faith in life. The Israelites asked, “What is it?” Those gathered with Jesus asked “How do we get it?” And we wonder “how it is” for us. Jesus answers everyone the same: “I am the bread of life.” He feeds us His Word that we may gladly hear and learn Him all the more.
