Every Sunday, across the world, Christians share an agreed three year cycle of Bible Readings in Sunday worship, this is called the Common Lectionary. We offer materials including prayers bible study and worship resources for each one of these Sunday's via our Lectionary Bible Notes Section.

Introduction

Put 100 theologians into a room and ask them how to inherit eternal life and there will probably be at least 100 different answers. There would probably some very complicated answers too. So, it is refreshing that in the Bible reading from Luke today the answer which Jesus agrees with is very straightforward.

The way to inherit everlasting life is by loving God and loving our neighbour. There you have it, show love and live. The problem is that Jesus defined neighbour in the widest possible sense. Jesus wants us to love not just the people we like or live near to, he wants us to love the horrible folk we would rather cross the road than even talk to. It all seemed so simple but actually its easier said than done.

Lectionary Material for every Sunday in Years A, B, C

Each morning and each evening
let the peace of the Father, be ours.
Each day and each night
let the peace of the Son be ours.
Each dawn and each dusk
let the peace of the Spirit be ours.
Let the blessing of the three in one be ours;
both now and for ever. Amen.
