MORAVIAN DAILY TEXT
Fourth Sunday of Advent
Watchword for the week – God has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly. Luke 1:52
Sunday, December 22, 2024 – Micah 5:2-5a; Luke 1:46b-55; Hebrews 10:5-10; Luke 1:39-45, (46-55)
For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. Psalm 71:5
In hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what one already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Romans 8:24-25
Jesus, we can become so discouraged when our faith does not produce results that our eyes can see. Change our perspective, Lord, to trust in your work always. Amen.
Belief of the Church
With the whole of Christendom, we share faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe and confess that God has revealed Himself once and for all in His Son Jesus Christ; that our Lord has redeemed us with whole of mankind by His death and His resurrection; and that there is no salvation apart from Him. We believe that He is present with us in the Word and the Sacrament; that He directs and unites us through His Spirit and thus forms us into a Church. We hear Him summoning us to follow Him, and pray Him to use us in His Service. He joins us together mutually so that knowing ourselves to be members of His Body we become willing to serve each other.
