Daily Bible Reading - February 27th, 2022 | American Bible Society: Deuteronomy 6:1-9: The book of Deuteronomy is organized as a series of addresses given by Moses to the people of Israel in the land of Moab, where they had stopped at the end of the long wilderness journey and were about to enter and occupy Canaan. In today’s reading, Moses tells the people that the LORD wants them to obey the laws in the land they are about to occupy so that they may become a strong nation. (You may wish to refer to Deuteronomy 5:1-22 which recounts the Ten Commandments.) Today’s reading includes the great commandment (see verse 5) that Jesus later underscored (see Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:29, 30). Jewish tradition calls verses 4 and 5 the “Shema,” because the first Hebrew word of this passage is “shema,” which means “listen” or “hear.” The Good News Translation renders this word as “remember this!”

Daily Bible Reading - February 6th, 2022 | American Bible Society: John 3:1-21: Nicodemus, a Pharisee, approaches Jesus at night and questions him about the Kingdom of God. Jesus describes what it means to be born of the Spirit. By believing in Jesus, one will have eternal life. (The reference in verse 14 to Moses lifting up the bronze snake on a pole is found in Numbers 21:9.) The reading concludes with a contrast between light and darkness.
