Scripture Readings For This Week
Second Sunday After Christmas --- Christmas 2
Sunday, January 2, 2011

First Reading:  1 Kings 3:4-15
(King Solomon asks God for wisdom to govern God's people and discern between good and evil. In return for Solomon's selfless request for wisdom, God blesses him, not only with wisdom, but also with riches and honour. May we, like Solomon, recognize that we do not deserve the wonderful opportunities God gives us. Because of our human limitations, we are unable to perfectly fulfill the challenges we face. But, in Christ, we have forgiveness; we are a new creation and can do all things through Him who gives us strength and wisdom.)

Epistle: Ephesians 1:3-14
(Spiritual Blessings in Christ. Paul teaches to trust in God's promises through Christ. When we hear the word of truth about Jesus -- the good news of our salvation -- and believe in what Christ has done for us, we are assured of our own salvation through the Holy Spirit.)

Gospel: Luke 2:40-52
(The Boy Jesus in the Temple. Jesus stuns the Jerusalem rabbis with His wisdom.)
