Here are this week's scriptures for study and meditation:
Judges 6:28-32 When the townspeople got up early that morning, there was the altar to Baal broken down, with the asherah that had been beside it cut down, and the second bull offered on the newly built altar! They asked each other, “Who did this?” They searched and investigated, and finally they concluded, “Gideon, Joash's son did this!” The townspeople said to Joash, “Bring out your son for execution because he tore down the altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah that was beside it.”
But Joash replied to all who were lined up against him, “Will you make Baal's complaint for him? Will you come to his rescue? Anyone who argues for him will be killed before morning. If he is a god, let him argue for himself, because it was his altar that was torn down.” So on that day Gideon became known as Jerubbaal, meaning, “Let Baal argue with him,” because he tore down his altar.
Acts 3:4-8 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he began to ask them for a gift. Peter and John stared at him. Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gazed at them, expecting to receive something from them. Peter said, “I don't have any money, but I will give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk!” Then he grasped the man's right hand and raised him up. At once his feet and ankles became strong. Jumping up, he began to walk around. He entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
John 1:14-18 The Word became flesh and made his home among us. We have seen his glory, glory like that of a father's only son, full of grace and truth. John testified about him, crying out, “This is the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than me because he existed before me.'” From his fullness we all have received grace upon grace; as the law was given through Moses, so grace and truth came into being through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made God known.
Psalm 36:7-9 Your faithful love is priceless, God! Humanity finds refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the bounty of your house; you let them drink from your river of pure joy. Within you is the spring of life. In your light, we see light.
