“Celebrating Jesus Together” Psalm 122 / Part 1 / 1 Dec 13 Psalm 122 / Part 1 / 1 Dec 13

Psalm 122:1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

“...The people in those pews are also people who suffer deeply and find God in their suffering. They make love commitments, are faithful to them through trial and temptation, and bear fruits that bless the people around them. Babies, surrounded by hopeful and rejoicing parents and friends, are baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. The dead are offered up to God in funerals that, in the midst of tears and grief, give solemn and joyful witness to the Resurrection. Sinners repent and take the body and blood of Jesus and receive new life.” (Eugene Peterson)
