Readings for the Week

Readings for Sunday, May 9:

Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48: Peter visits Cornelius and his family. God will favor anyone who acts uprightly,
Jews, and Gentiles alike. He gave orders that all who believe should be baptized.

1 Jn 4:7-10: Christians should love one another as God Himself is love. A person without love does not know
God. Love is that God has sent His Son as an offering for sin.

Jn 15:9-17: Jesus admonishes His disciples to continue the love He has shown to them. The keeping of the commandments will prove this. “You are to love one another … it was I who chose you.”

Today’s Message: Let us love one another as Christ has loved us by offering Himself for our sins. His love
is to be revealed to all the world, as Peter himself taught.
