“Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” (Jeremiah 31:31-34 ESV)
Hymn ELH 93:1,2 The New Church Year Again Is Come
The new church year again is come
And wakes the joy of Christendom;
Thy King, O Zion, comes to thee,
Rejoice, rejoice eternally.
Have mercy, O Lord!
Now in our midst anew are heard
The lessons of God’s holy Word
That lead the way to life and heav’n;
Lord, praise to Thee for this be giv’n.
Have mercy, O Lord!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, You sent Your Son as the fulfillment of the promises You made of a Savior. As this new church year begins, prepare my heart to meet my Savior, both in the words of Holy Scripture and face to face when He returns for me. In His name I pray. Amen.
