Daily Lectionary Readings for November 23, 2010
Psalm 78:1-39
Zechariah 11:4-17
1 Corinthians 3:10-23
Luke 18:31-43
Zechariah 11:4-17
Zechariah serves as a shepherd with two staffs. One he names Favor, the other Unity. He breaks the one called Favor, symbolizing the breaking of the covenant. He then accepts payment of thirty pieces of silver, tosses it into the temple treasury and breaks the staff called Unity - anulling the ties between Judah and Israel. No precise correlation to be made, but find the amount (thirty pieces of silver) interesting and am curious about how Judas might have reflected on this passage as he took his thirty pieces of silver and thought about the breaking of the unity of his relationship with Jesus.
