Ezekiel 36:22-28 (NLT)
“Therefore, give the people of Israel this message from the Sovereign Lord: I am bringing you back, but not because you deserve it. I am doing it to protect my holy name, on which you brought shame while you were scattered among the nations. I will show how holy my great name is—the name on which you brought shame among the nations. And when I reveal my holiness through you before their very eyes, says the Sovereign Lord, then the nations will know that I am the Lord. For I will gather you up from all the nations and bring you home again to your land.
“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.
“And you will live in Israel, the land I gave your ancestors long ago. You will be my people, and I will be your God.“

Pray
Our Sovereign Lord, Your name is great and holy. Forgive us for bringing shame on Your reputation because of our idolatry and sin. We celebrate the birth of Your Son because through him You have revealed Your holiness and by him You are gathering Your people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. Thank you for cleansing us from our sin, subduing our stubborn hearts, and making us new. By the power of Your Spirit enable us to follow Your Word in loving obedience. Come Lord Jesus we pray. Amen.
