This year I’ve started using the Moravian Daily Texts to guide my reading of and meditation on Scripture. On Sundays they simply follow the Revised Common Lectionary, and this is a devotional thought I wrote from today’s readings of Jeremiah 31:31-34 and John 12:20-33.
Jeremiah prophesies a day when God will come and live with his people in such an intimate way that he will literally be inside them, his law written on their hearts and minds, each and every person, from the greatest to the least, knowing Him personally and walking with him intimately.
This is the new covenant that God would make with his people, and it was beginning to take place in the Gospel passage we read today (John 12:20-33).
