Today April 25

This morning's reading from the Old Testament comes out of Second Samuel, chapters 13 and 14. This gets into the matter of David's son Absolom. When David's daughter is raped by one of her half-brothers and David takes no action, Absolom sets a pattern of taking matters into his own hands. The result is disaster for all, and this section shows only part of it.

This evening's reading from the New Testament is from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 20, verses 1 through 26. This passage contains, among other things, the parable of the vineyard, and the memorable verse,

Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's
