Book of Psalm Chapter 116

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 116

1 I love the Lord, because he heard my voice.
    He heard my cry for his favor.
2 Because he paid attention to me,
    I will call out to him as long as I live.
3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me.
    The horrors of the grave came over me.
    I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called out to the Lord.
    I cried out, “Lord, save me!”
5 The Lord is holy and kind.
    Our God is full of tender love.
6 The Lord takes care of those who are as helpless as children.
    When I was in great need, he saved me.
7 I said to myself, “Be calm.
    The Lord has been good to me.”
8 Lord, you have saved me from death.
    You have dried the tears from my eyes.
    You have kept me from tripping and falling.
9 So now I can enjoy life here with you
    while I’m still living.
10 I believed in you even when I said to myself,
    “I’m in great pain.”
11 When I was terrified, I said to myself,
    “No one tells the truth.”
12 The Lord has been so good to me!
    How can I ever pay him back?
13 I will bring an offering of wine to the Lord
    and thank him for saving me.
    I will worship him.
14 In front of all of the Lord’s people,
    I will do what I promised him.
15 The Lord pays special attention
    when his faithful people die.
16 Lord, I serve you.
    I serve you just as my mother did.
    You have set me free from the chains of my suffering.
17 Lord, I will sacrifice a thank offering to you.
    I will worship you.
18 In front of all of the Lord’s people,
    I will do what I promised him.
19 I will keep my promise in the courtyards of the Lord’s temple.
    I will keep my promise in Jerusalem itself.
