Jeremiah 1:4-10 Psalm 71: 1-6
1 Corinthians 13: 1-13 Luke 4: 21-30
Theme Ideas
Being a prophet is hard work! Jeremiah shies away from the task. The psalmist is beset by foes. And the folks in Jesus ’hometown want to stone him. Where is all the love Paul sings about in 1 Corinthians? It is there in the never-ending, steadfast love of God that surrounds us from our mother’s womb to the earth’s tomb. It is a love that calls us to do things we feel inadequate to do. It is a love that strengthens us and gives us courage and perseverance in times of trial. It is a love that enables us to speak words of truth to a questioning and sometimes hostile world. Love, indeed, is the greatest of these.
