Today we read Genesis 17. Abraham receives both a new name and the sign of the covenant promise God had given His people. The Lord received the same sign of circumcision, shedding His infant blood and receiving the name “Jesus,” proving Himself to be our dear Savior. • Lord, lead us to treasure the precious Word and Sacraments, which mark and sign us as Your beloved children. Amen.
