Readings for the Day:
– 2nd Sunday before Lent - 7th February 2010
Genesis 2:4-9, 15-25
God has formed the first human from the dust of the ground and has breathed life into him. God has
placed him in his own domain, a land of delight, the Garden of Eden. To eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
is to attempt to gain total knowledge of creation, something God does not intend humans to do.
Revelation 4
This book is an inspired picture-book,
intended to make a powerful appeal to the reader's imagination. John writes in a style familiar in his time, especially
in Jewish circles, but as strange to us as the novel or detective story would be then. A key question then
was: what will life after death be like?
Luke 8 22-25
Jesus has told the good news of the Kingdom to the crowds, from a boat. He has called disciples to
follow him, from a boat, and with his power shown through a massive catch. Now he shows the disciples that the power the Father
has given him includes the ability to control the unruly forces of nature.
