The Good Shepherd
David's poetic praise to God.
1God is my Fierce Protector and my Pastor. I always have more than enough.
2He provides a resting place for me In His luxury-love. His tracks take me to the quiet brooks of bliss, The oasis of peace.
3That's where He restores and revives my life. He opens before me the pathways to God's pleasure, Leading me along in His footsteps of righteousness, So that I can bring honor to His name.
4Lord, even when Your path takes me through The valley of deepest darkness You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way. Because You are with me I have no fear of danger! Your authority is my strength and peace. The comfort of Your love takes away my fear. I'll never be lonely for You are near.
5You become my delicious feast Even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of Your Holy Spirit; You give me all I can drink of You until my heart overflows.
6So why would I fear the future? For Your goodness and unfailing love Will always be my companions every day; Then afterward—when my life is through I'll return to Your glorious presence To be forever with You!

The quiet brook of bliss.

He opens before me the pathways to God's pleasure,
And leads me in His footsteps of righteousness,
So that I can bring honor to His name.
4Lord, even when your path takes me through
The valley of deepest darkness
Fear will never conquer me, for you already have!
You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way.
Your authority is my strength and my peace.
The comfort of your love takes away my fear.
I'll never be lonely, for you are near.
5You become my delicious feast
Even when my enemies dare to fight.

You give me all I can drink of You until my heart overflows.
6So why would I fear the future?
For I'm being pursued only by
Your goodness and unfailing love.
Then afterward—when my life is through,
I'll return to Your glorious presence
To be forever with You!

Mark 1:9-16
The Baptism and Testing of Jesus
9One day, Jesus came from the Galilean village of Nazareth and had John immerse him in the Jordan River. 10The moment Jesus rose up out of the water, John saw the heavenly realm split open, and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove and rested upon him. 11At the same time, a voice spoke from heaven, saying:
"You are my Son, my cherished one,
and my greatest delight is in you!"
12Immediately after this he was compelled by the Holy Spirit to go into an uninhabited desert region. 13He remained there in the wilderness for forty days, enduring the ordeals of Satan's tests. He encountered wild animals, but also angels who appeared and ministered to his needs.
John 1:1-5
The Living Expression
1In the very beginning.
God was already there.
And before his face
Was his Living Expression.
And this "Living Expression"
Was with God, yet fully God.
2They were together—face to face,
In the very beginning.
3And through his creative inspiration
This "Living Expression" made all things
For nothing has existence
Apart from him!
4 Life came into being
Because of him,
For his life is light for all humanity.
5And this "Living Expression"
Is the Light that bursts through gloom—
The Light that darkness could not diminish!
1 Corinthians 15:1-8
The Resurrection of Christ
1Dear friends, let me give you clearly the heart of the gospel that I've
preached to you—the good news that you have heartily received and on
which you stand. 2For it is through the revelation of the gospel that you
are being saved, if you fasten your life firmly to the message I've taught
you, unless you have believed in vain. 3For I have shared with you what I
have received and what is of utmost importance:
The Messiah died for our sins,
fulfilling the prophecies of the Scriptures.
4He was buried in a tomb
and was raised from the dead after three days,
as foretold in the Scriptures.
5Then he appeared to Peter the Rock
and to the twelve apostles.
6He also appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at the
same time, most of whom are still alive as I write this, though a few have
passed away. 7Then he appeared to Jacob and to all the apostles. 8Last
of all he appeared in front of me, like one born prematurely, ripped from
the womb.
