17 March 24 – [Lent 5 (COCU 23B)

FROM THE INSIDE OUT
(Jeremiah 31:31-34)
A new* covenant
with Israel and Judah,
not written in stone.

A new covenant,
to live Torah from the heart:
from the inside out.

It’s how Jesus lived,
attending to others’ needs
rather than our wants.

Living Jesus’ way,
in my faith community:
living from the heart.

* The Hebrew could mean either ‘new’ or ‘renewed’.
