Hosea 1:2-10 The people of Israel have deserted the worship of God and have taken up devotion to other gods. Their covenant (or pact) with God is likened to a marriage contract. They have become like prostitutes in wandering off to spouses other than God. Colossians 2:6-15,(16-19) Some Christians at Colossae have tried to synthesize Christianity with other religions. All power in creation comes from Christ, so seeking power in other traditions is an empty deceit, a futile exercise. Luke 11:1-13 Religious communities then and now have a distinctive way of praying. We address God personally as “Father”. He is a caring, gracious and loving parent. The Church has come to use Matthew’s version of the Lord’s Prayer, but some early Christians used Luke’s version. © 1996-2022 Chris Haslam |
