GE13 MALAYSIA: Who To Vote For?
POLLING DAY: MAY 05, 2013
First Reading
ACTS 13:14, 43-52
ACTS 13:14, 43-52
14 The others carried on
from Perga till they reached Antioch in Pisidia. Here they went to synagogue on
the Sabbath and took their seats.
43 When the meeting
broke up many Jews and devout converts followed Paul and Barnabas, and in their
talks with them Paul and Barnabas urged them to remain faithful to the grace
God had given them.
44 The next Sabbath
almost the whole town assembled to hear the word of God.
45 When they saw the
crowds, the Jews, filled with jealousy, used blasphemies to contradict
everything Paul said.
46 Then Paul and
Barnabas spoke out fearlessly. 'We had to proclaim the word of God to you
first, but since you have rejected it, since you do not think yourselves worthy
of eternal life, here and now we turn to the gentiles.
47 For this is what the
Lord commanded us to do when he said: I have made you a light to the nations,
so that my salvation may reach the remotest parts of the earth.'
48 It made the gentiles
very happy to hear this and they gave thanks to the Lord for his message; all
who were destined for eternal life became believers.
49 Thus the word of the
Lord spread through the whole countryside.
50 But the Jews worked
on some of the devout women of the upper classes and the leading men of the
city; they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them
from their territory.
51 So they shook the
dust from their feet in protest against them and went off to Iconium; but the
converts were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 99:2-3, 5
2 Yahweh is great in
Zion. He is supreme over all nations;
3 let them praise your
name, great and awesome; holy is he
5 Exalt Yahweh our God,
bow down at his footstool; holy is he!
Second Reading
REVELATION 7:9, 14-17
REVELATION 7:9, 14-17
9 After that I saw that
there was a huge number, impossible for anyone to count, of people from every
nation, race, tribe and language; they were standing in front of the throne and
in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palms in their hands.
They shouted in a loud voice,
14 I answered him, 'You
can tell me, sir.' Then he said, 'These are the people who have been through
the great trial; they have washed their robes white again in the blood of the
Lamb.
15 That is why they are
standing in front of God's throne and serving him day and night in his
sanctuary; and the One who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
16 They will never
hunger or thirst again; sun and scorching wind will never plague them,
17 because the Lamb who
is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to
springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.'

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
JOHN 10:27-30
JOHN 10:27-30
27 The sheep that belong
to me listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me.
28 I give them eternal
life; they will never be lost and no one will ever steal them from my hand.
29 The Father, for what
he has given me, is greater than anyone, and no one can steal anything from the
Father's hand.
30 The Father and I are
one.
