    12. For thus says the Lord: I will extend prosperity to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you shall nurse and be carried on her arm, and dandled on her knees.

    13. As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. The Reign and Indignation of God

    14. You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice; your bodies shall flourish like the grass; and it shall be known that the hand of the Lord is with his servants, and his indignation is against his enemies.

    15. For the Lord will come in fire, and his chariots like the whirlwind, to pay back his anger in fury, and his rebuke in flames of fire.

    23. since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

    24. they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

    25. whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;

    26. it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the one who has faith in Jesus.

    27. Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. By what law? By that of works? No, but by the law of faith.

    28. For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law.

    29. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

    30. since God is one; and he will justify the circumcised on the ground of faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.

    31. Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

    18. You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold,

    19. but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish.

    20. He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake.

    21. Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God.

    22. Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart.

    23. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.

    24. For “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,

    25. but the word of the Lord endures forever.” That word is the good news that was announced to you.

    10. Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

    11. And just then there appeared a woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years. She was bent over and was quite unable to stand up straight.

    12. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your ailment.”

    13. When he laid his hands on her, immediately she stood up straight and began praising God.

    14. But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had cured on the sabbath, kept saying to the crowd, “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured, and not on the sabbath day.”

    15. But the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger, and lead it away to give it water?

    16. And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the sabbath day?”

    17. When he said this, all his opponents were put to shame; and the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things that he was doing. The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Message From Vicar In Charge: Rev. Johnson Samuel

Dearly beloved in Christ Jesus, Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Sav- ior Jesus Christ. As per the Church almanac, the first Sunday of this month is observed as the 'land for the landless mission'. It was a unique involvement of the church for the needy. During the Lenten season, many of us may use our resources to help fellow beings. Caring blesses the one who gives as well as the one who receives. Every year May12th celebrated as Mother's Day throughout the United States. The American people use the carnation flower on Mother’s Day, which is pinned to the mother’s dress. Even today they use this white flower. White is symbolic of pure love. When the flower withers away the pure love remains within. Mother's love like-wise is always pure, and she embraces her children with love even if they make mistakes and forgive them. Because of Anna Jarvis we are celebrating Mother’s Day. We remember her on that day with gratitude.

Message From Youth Chaplain : Rev. Jess M. George Achen

Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit - One true God! Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! As we approach Christmas, our hearts are filled with joy and anticipation, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, who came into the world to bring salvation and hope. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians (2:5-11), provides profound insight into the true significance of Christmas through the concept of kenosis, which means self-emptying.
