TIME The holidays are well behind us; the year stretches out ahead. And what sort of year will it be? To judge by the words of Jesus in to-days Gospel, it will be a year acceptable to the Lord. And Jesus
surely didn't mean only the next three hundred sixty-five days fac-ing his listeners at that time.
When Jesus announced the arrival of Gods favor, it was a message for all time, for every year. Similarly, we read today in Nehemiah
how the people gathered with solemnity to hear Gods word as though for the first time. They listened, and then fell to the ground and wept. But the prophet said, Today is holy . . . do not be sad, and
do not weep. The year acceptable to the Lord is this year. The day that is holy is this day. The time to listen is now. What sort of year will you have? What sort of day? Gods help is always here. What you do with each day can be holy and acceptable to the Lord if you but listen to and
act on Gods word. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

A PARTY? TO CELEBRATE RULES? REALLY? .
Twenty-first-century American culture relies so much on brief social media texts--Facebook, Twitter--that we
might wonder how the men, women, and those children old enough to understand (Nehemiah 8:2) could spend the entire morning listening to Ezra the priest read from the book of Jewish law. Returning home after seventy years of exile, the people had to rebuild their homeland--the
city of Jerusalem, the temple, social and economic struc-tures--all of it. Listening to Ezra reading the ancient law seems to have reconnected the people to traditions that
gave meaning to all their struggles. They were weeping tears of joy!
The psalmist is likewise moved by the beauty of God s law. It is not a bothersome restriction on human behavior, but a wise guide for people seeking wisdom and enduring happiness. At the conclusion of his reading, Ezra instructs
them to be joyful, to eat rich foods and drink sweet drinks . . for today is holy to our LORD (Nehemiah 8:10).
Rejoicing is the proper response to the rediscovery of God ’s law.
