The Collect:
Almighty God, who in the passion of your blessed Son made an instrument of painful death to be for us the means of life and peace: grant us so to glory in the cross of Christ that we may gladly suffer for his sake; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Readings:
Numbers 21:4-9
After enduring a plague of serpents, the Israelites repent of their wrongdoing. On God’s instructions Moses makes a bronze serpent. Whenever someone is bitten, they look at the bronze serpent and live.
Canticle: Verses from Philippians 2
Philippians 2:6-11
The passage reveals the cross as the heart of Jesus’ mission. Yet having reached that goal, it was never God’s intention to stay there. Through the resurrection, God lifts us to new life.
Gradual Hymn: 358
Gospel John 3:13-17
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” The unmistakable indication that Jesus is referring to the cross is in the words “lifted up”.
Preacher: Rev. Adrian Bailey
