16 John 18.1-18 Dr. K. L. Peterson. It is based on texts used in the
17 John 18.19-38a ­Revised Common Lectionary and other lec­tionaries
18 John 18.38b–19.16a such as those used by Anglicans, Lutherans, and
19 John 19.16b-30
Roman Catholics. Those dates marked with a star
20 John 19.31-42
( ) are commonly observed as festival days in
21 Revelation 1.1-8
22 Daniel 7.1-14
some churches. ­Versification is based on the 2nd
23 Daniel 7.15-28 Edition of the Good News Bible.
24 Acts 15.1-21 For many, the Bible may be something of a closed
25 Acts 17.1-15 door. Although its stories are all fairly familiar, there
26 1 Thessalonians 3.1-13
seems to be a great void of understanding exactly
27 Jeremiah 33.1-18
what these stories can mean for Christians living in
28 Luke 21.20-38
29 Ezekiel 3.16-27
the present day. Many people who read God’s Word
30 Matthew 4.18-25 ­believe it; they just don’t believe it works for them
­today. It does! Truth does not change. Ask God to
open your eyes that you might see Him in a fresh
way and open your ears that you might hear His
voice speaking to you as you read His Word.
