DAYS OF SON OF MAN
Altar Server Prayer: Father in heaven, Your Son Jesus Christ showed his
love for you by serving his brothers and sisters in need. I now
ask you to give me your help I serve you and your people Open my mouth to
praise you in word and song. Open my ears to hear your word. Open my hand to do
your work well. Take from me all evil and distracting thoughts.
Help me to know
what I should do and do it well. Help me to serve reverently at your Holy
Altar and give you praise and glory now and for ever. Amen
It has given me
great joy to find that your children have been living the life of truth as we
were commanded by the Father. I am writing now, dear lady, not to give you any
new commandment, but the one which we were given at the beginning, and to
plead: let us love one another.
To love
is to live according to his commandments: this is the commandment which you
have heard since the beginning, to live a life of love.
There are
many deceivers about in the world, refusing to admit that Jesus Christ has come
in the flesh.
They are the Deceiver; they are the Antichrist. Watch yourselves,
or all our work will be lost and not get the reward it deserves. If anybody
does not keep within the teaching of Christ but goes beyond it, he cannot have
God with him: only those who keep to what he taught can have the Father and the
Son with them.
There are many deceivers about in the world, refusing to admit that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh.
They are happy who follow God's law
Jesus said to the
disciples: ‘As it was in Noah’s day, so will it also be in the days
of the Son of Man. People were eating and drinking, marrying wives and
husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the ark, and the flood came and
destroyed them all. It will be the same as it was in Lot’s day: people were
eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but the day Lot
left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from heaven and it destroyed them
all. It will be the same when the day comes for the Son of Man to be revealed.
‘When
that day comes, anyone on the housetop, with his possessions in the house, must
not come down to collect them, nor must anyone in the fields turn back either.
Remember Lot’s wife. Anyone who tries to preserve his life will lose it; and
anyone who loses it will keep it safe. I tell you, on that night two will be in
one bed: one will be taken, the other left; two women will be grinding corn together:
one will be taken, the other left.’ The disciples interrupted. ‘Where, Lord?’
they asked. He said, ‘Where the body is, there too will the vultures gather.’
Help me Father through the Holy Spirit to abide to Christ's teaching so that I may have the Father and the Son.
