II. Selections
Psalm 85:6
Will you not revive us again,
so that your people may rejoice in you? ;
Deuteronomy 11:16
Take care, or you will be seduced into turning away, serving other gods and worshiping them ...
2 Corinthians 5:17
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
Luke 17:4
" ...And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, 'I repent,' you must forgive." [ Jesus to his disciples]
III. Meditation: Everything becoming new
When we are in Christ,
there is a new creation;
everything old passes away,
everything becomes new.
But careful, then,
lest we be seduced
into turning away,
attracted to other gods.
When it happens,
we come asking you
to revive us again,
that we may rejoice in you.
Likewise, if persons come to us,
repenting their sins against us,
asking us to revive the relationship
by forgiving them, can we refuse?
