Book of Psalm Chapter 115

John 1


The Word Became Flesh

The Deity of Jesus Christ
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.  In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it
.

Colossians 1: 15


The Supremacy of the Son of God


15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

1 Peter 1:3


[ Praise to God for a Living Hope ] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Mark 15:33-38


The Death of Jesus


33 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[a]

35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.”

36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.




Psalm 115

1 Lord, may glory be given to you, not to us.
    You are loving and faithful.
2 Why do the nations ask,
    “Where is their God?”
3 Our God is in heaven.
    He does anything he wants to do.
4 But the statues of their gods are made out of silver and gold.
    They are made by the hands of men.
5 They have mouths, but they can’t speak.
    They have eyes, but they can’t see.
6 They have ears, but they can’t hear.
    They have noses, but they can’t smell.
7 They have hands, but they can’t feel.
    They have feet, but they can’t walk.
    They have throats, but they can’t say anything.
8 Those who make statues of gods will be like them.
    So will all those who trust in them.
9 People of Israel, trust in the Lord.
    He helps you. He is like a shield that keeps you safe.
10 Priests of Aaron, trust in the Lord.
    He helps you. He is like a shield that keeps you safe.
11 You who have respect for the Lord, trust in him.
    He helps you. He is like a shield that keeps you safe.
12 The Lord remembers us and will bless us.
    He will bless the people of Israel.
    He will bless the priests of Aaron.
13 The Lord will bless those who have respect for him.
    He will bless important and unimportant people alike.
14 May the Lord give you many children.
    May he give them to you and to your children after you.
15 May the Lord bless you.
    He is the Maker of heaven and earth.
16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord.
    But he has given the earth to human beings.
17 Dead people don’t praise the Lord.
    Those who lie quietly in the grave don’t praise him.
18 But we who are alive praise the Lord,
    both now and forever.
