Spare your people, O LORD.
(Joel 2:17
NRSV)
It is important for us, in these days after Easter, to confess and ask for God's
forgiveness, so that we will can celebrate the hope found in the resurrection of Jesus
Christ.
Ronald Newhouse, Texas, USA
The weeping in our scripture reading is about confession and asking for forgiveness.
In verse 17, it says, "Between the vestibule and the alter let the priests, the ministers
of the Lord, weep. Let them say, 'Spare your people, O Lord, and do not make your
heritage a mockery.'"
Prayer: Lord Jesus, forgive me and give me the full hope found in your resurrection.
Amen.
