Father, again we turn to Your Word that we might find the mind of Christ, and that our natural minds of flesh may be transformed and conformed to His mind, that we might love what He loves and hate what He hates. Give us now this mind in Christ Jesus. Amen. It was about forty years ago I was visiting in the home of the Old Testament scholar Meredith Klein, north of Boston, Massachusetts.
