… Read the restEvery word of God is tested;

Isaiah 55:10-11; Matthew 4:4b; Matthew 6:7-15
… Read the restYet just as from the heavens
the rain and snow come down
And do not return there
till they have watered the earth,
making it fertile and fruitful,
Giving seed to the one who sows
and bread to the one who eats,

that goes forth from my mouth;
It shall not return to me empty,
but shall do what pleases me,
achieving the end for which I sent it.
The year of Jubilee looked forward to the restoration of God’s kingdom, like the Our Father prayer Jesus taught to his disciples:
… Read the restOur Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
