The Sacred Page Blog ^ | October 25, 2012 | Dr. John Bergsma
The readings for this Sunday revolve around the theme of return from exile for God's people. In the Old Testament, we read about God's people Israel being exiled from their land because of their violations of their covenant with God. The great Israelite prophets, however, predicted that God would bring his people back from the places they were exiled, just as he brought them out of Egypt by the hand of Moses long ago. This is often called the "New Exodus" theme in the prophets. 1. Our First Reading is one such prophetic oracle, Jeremiah 31:7-9: Thus says the LORD:...

The Readings for this upcoming Lord's Day focus on the themes of suffering and leadership: in particular, how Christ, our definitive leader, embraced suffering on our behalf, and so modeled true leadership for all who would follow him. 1. Our First Reading is Isaiah 53:10-11: The LORD was pleased to crush him in infirmity. If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him. Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness of days; through his suffering,...
