Exodus 21

Laws announced by Moses:

"When you buy an Israelite slave, you may keep him
for only six years. In the seventh year he is free to leave or stay.

Put to death anyone who kills someone in cold blood,
anyone who curses or strikes his father or mother.

If someone injures another person,
the compensation will  be according to the formula
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, burn for burn, injury for injury."

Dear God, please help people not to seek revenge


Psalm 94

O Lord,  Judge of the earth,
how long will the wicked crush the poor?

The wicked say "God does not hear".
But can he who made the ear, not hear?

Blessed are those whom the Lord teaches.
The Lord gives them peace in troubled times.

When cares increase in my heart,
God's consolation calms my soul.

Lord, when cares and troubles increase, please  help us to trust in you.


Acts 20

Paul continued "Now you see me a prisoner already in spirit.
I am on my way to Jerusalem, and have no idea what will happen to me there.
The Holy Spirit has made it clear that imprisonment and persecution await me there

But life to me is not a thing to waste words on. 
What matters is that when I finish my race, 
I have carried out the mission the Lord Jesus gave me
- to bear witness to the Good News of God's grace"

Jesus, please help me live a worthwhile life


Matthew 21

Jesus sat on a donkey colt for the trip down the hill
from the Mount of Olives to the city of Jerusalem.

This was as a prophet had predicted:
"Look, your king is coming, humbly riding a peaceful donkey".

Big crowds accompanied Jesus down the hill.
People spread their clothes on the road as a sign of honor.

People cut branches from the trees and waved them singing
"Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest!"

People in the city asked "Who is he?"
The crowd answered "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee".

Jesus, may you be warmly welcomed  by every place and every person in the world
