Zechariah 9: 9 - 10 | |
9 | Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on an ass, on a colt the foal of an ass. |
10 | I will cut off the chariot from E'phraim and the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall command peace to the nations; his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. |
Psalms 145: 1 - 2, 8 - 11, 13 - 14 | |
1 | I will extol thee, my God and King, and bless thy name for ever and ever. |
2 | Every day I will bless thee, and praise thy name for ever and ever. |
8 | The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. |
9 | The LORD is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made. |
10 | All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD, and all thy saints shall bless thee! |
11 | They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and tell of thy power, |
13 | Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds. |
14 | The LORD upholds all who are falling, and raises up all who are bowed down. |
Romans 8: 9, 11 - 13 | |
9 | But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. |
11 | If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you. |
12 | So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh -- |
13 | for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. |
Matthew 11: 25 - 30 | |
25 | At that time Jesus declared, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; |
26 | yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will. |
27 | All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. |
28 | Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. |
29 | Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. |
30 | For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." |
