To practice resurrection - to walk in the new ways of life that Jesus died to give us - means to love the foreigner in our midst.

The Resurrection is not
the end of the story, but
the beginning of the
renewal of all things.

9. “Deuteronomy 10… is unquestionably one of the richest
texts in the Hebrew Bible, exalted and poetic in its
language, comprehensive and challenging in its
message. It purposely tries to ‘boil down’ the whole
theological and ethical content of the book into
memorable phraseology, packed and pregnant, rich and
resonant.… Indeed, there are not many dimensions of
‘OT theology’ that are not directly expressed or
indirectly echoed in this mini-symphony of faith and life.

10. 12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord
Deuteronomy 10:12-22
require of you…?

11. 12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord
Deuteronomy 10:12-22
require of you, but to fear the Lord your
God, to walk in all his ways, to love him,
to serve the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul, 13 and to
keep the commandants and statutes of
the Lord, which I am commanding you
today for your good?

12. He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
~ The Prophet Micah ~
Micah 6:8

13. 14 Behold, to the Lord your God belong
Deuteronomy 10:12-22
heaven and the heaven of heavens, the
earth and all that is in it.

14. 14 Behold, to the Lord your God belong
Deuteronomy 10:12-22
heaven and the heaven of heavens, the
earth and all that is in it. 15 Yet the Lord
set his heart in love on your fathers and
chose their offspring after them, you
above all peoples, as you are this day.

15. 16 Circumcise the foreskin of your heart,
Deuteronomy 10:12-22
and be no longer stubborn.

16. 17 For the Lord your God is God of gods,
Deuteronomy 10:12-22
and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty,
and the awesome God, who is not partial
and takes no bribe.

17. 18 He executes justice for the fatherless
Deuteronomy 10:12-22
and the widow, and loves the sojourner,
giving him food and clothing.

18. 19 Love the sojourner, therefore, for you
Deuteronomy 10:12-22
were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

28. ~ The Apostle Paul in
1 Timothy 6:17-19
“As for the rich in this present
age, charge them not to be
haughty, nor to set their hopes
on the uncertainty of riches, but
on God, who richly provides us
with everything to enjoy. They
are to do good, to be rich in
good works, to be generous and
ready to share, thus storing up
treasure for themselves as a
good foundation for the future,
so that they may take hold of
that which is truly life.”

29. Be Rich!

33. “For you know the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, that
though he was rich, yet for your sake became poor, so
that you by his poverty might become rich.”
~ 2 Corinthians 8:9

34. By this we know love, that
he laid down his life for us,
and we ought to lay down
our lives for our brothers.
But if anyone has the worlds
goods and sees his brother
or sister in need, yet closes
his heart against them, how
does God’s love abide in
him? Little children, let us
not love in word or talk only
but in action and in truth.
~ The Apostle John in
1 John 3:16
