Matthew 21:28-32
Old Testament Ezekiel 18:1-4,25-32
The word of the LORD came to me: What do you mean by repeating this
proverb concerning the land of Israel, "The parents have eaten sour
grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge"? As I live, says the
Lord GOD, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. Know that
all lives are mine; the life of the parent as well as the life of the
child is mine: it is only the person who sins that shall die. Yet you
say, "The way of the Lord is unfair." Hear now, O house of Israel: Is my
way unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair? When the righteous turn
away from their righteousness and commit iniquity, they shall die for it;
for the iniquity that they have committed they shall die. Again, when the
wicked turn away from the wickedness they have committed and do what is
lawful and right, they shall save their life. Because they considered and
turned away from all the transgressions that they had committed, they
shall surely live; they shall not die. Yet the house of Israel says, "The
way of the Lord is unfair." O house of Israel, are my ways unfair? Is it
not your ways that are unfair? Therefore I will judge you, O house of
Israel, all of you according to your ways, says the Lord GOD. Repent and
turn from all your transgressions; otherwise iniquity will be your ruin.
Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed against
me, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O
house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the
Lord GOD. Turn, then, and live.
The Epistle Philippians 2:1-13
If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love,
any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy
complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord
and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in
humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not
to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Let the same mind
be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of
God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death--
even death on a cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name
