Verse of the Day October 5

This week we continue our series “Reimagining the Church.” Each week, we’ll explore a different New Testament image or metaphor for being disciples of Christ and the church and the focus this week is from the Gospel of Matthew. For Matthew, doing the will of God is what distinguishes a true disciple of Jesus including doing justice for the poor and those who are vulnerable.

Today’s reading is Jeremiah 9:23-24, Boast in This.

The Verse of the Day is Jeremiah 9:24,

but let those who boast boast in this, that they understand and know me, that I am the Lord; I act with steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.
