The heart of this text tells us that in Christ we are in right relationship with God: Jesus Christ is God’s all-sufficient pledge that we may inherit redemption as God’s people. The first verse reminds us that God “has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing.” God chose us...

Lord God, keep me grounded and connected through Christ so that I never stray too far from you. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

Two readings this week focus on welcoming God’s presence. David does this by bringing the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem. As the ark arrives, David dances with all his might, worshiping God with reckless abandon. In Psalm 24, the author poetically calls a city to open its gates and welcome the great king. These passages invite us to consider how willingly we receive God into our lives. The reading from Ephesians speaks of God’s eternal plan. While circumstances may seem chaotic from our perspective, God holds an eternal perspective and has sealed us with the Holy Spirit. Mark tells us the sad story of the execution of John the Baptist, yet another example of a righteous person experiencing persecution.
