Memory Verse; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23
Matthew 3-4:11, Ps 130
I do not call the Law an ‘Old Testament’ if I understand it in the Spirit. The Law becomes an ‘Old Testament’ only for those who wish to understand it carnally, but for those who understand it and apply it in the Spirit and in the Gospel sense, the Law is ever new and the two Testaments are a new Testament for us, not because of their date in time but because of the newness of the meaning. For those who do not respect the covenant of love, even the Gospels are ‘old.’ Origen of Alexandria
Help us, Lord, to see in your Scripture the good news that never grows old. Amen. (Commonprayer.net)
