Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus wept

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith."

For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?

Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

“Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”

And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
