To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life,
and we have believed and have come to know
that You are the Holy One of God.
Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory

3. The Psalm – Psalm 24
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
1 The world and all that is in it belong to the Lord;
the earth and all who live on it are his.
2 He built it on the deep waters beneath the earth
and laid its foundations in the ocean depths.
3 Who has the right to go up the Lord's hill?
Who may enter his holy Temple?
4 Those who are pure in act and in thought,
who do not worship idols
or make false promises.
5 The Lord will bless them and save them;
God will declare them innocent.
6 Such are the people who come to God,
who come into the presence of the God of Jacob.
7 Fling wide the gates,
open the ancient doors,
and the great king will come in.
8 Who is this great king?
He is the Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, victorious in battle.
9 Fling wide the gates,
open the ancient doors,
and the great king will come in.
10 Who is this great king?
The triumphant Lord—he is the great king!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
4. Short Reading and Meditation
In so far as you share in
the suffering of Christ, be
glad. When his glory is
revealed, you also will be
filled with joy and
gladness.
Thought for Today
Living with hope changes
everything for us. How will
the decisions you make, the
way you treat others, and
the ongoing conversation
you have with God today be
impacted by the truth that
the great, glorious king is
present in your life and is
also coming more fully to
reveal his grace and glory?
1 Peter 4:12-16
