Trinity Lutheran Sheboygan: Recent Episodes
Trinity Lutheran Sheboygan
Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting. Trinity is located in downtown Sheboygan, only one block from the Mead Public Library and the Weill Center for the Performing Arts. We invite you to visit us in person! Trinity Lutheran Sheboygan is a proud member of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Visit their website: https://www.lcms.org/
Ten men were healed that day—but only one turned back. The Samaritan leper fell at Jesus’ feet in gratitude, and Jesus said, “Your faith has made you well.” Yet the focus is not on the strength of the man’s faith, but on the One in whom that faith rested.
We often turn faith into something we do—as though believing itself earns salvation. But faith saves only because of Christ, who is completely faithful. As Pastor Christopher Esget writes, “Faith doesn’t work if the objective of faith is unreliable.” Doctors fail. Coaches fail. People fail. But Jesus never does.
He is faithful when we are not. His words never falter, His promises never break. What He says, He does—every single time. On the cross and in the means of grace, He continues to heal, forgive, and restore. Because even when we are faithless, He remains faithful—for He cannot deny Himself.

Three Little Words | Luke 17:1-10 | Unworthy Servants
A little boy once broke his sister’s toy. After whispering, “I’m sorry,” he waited as she thought, then finally replied, “I forgive you.” Those three little words stunned the world when the video went viral. Why? Because forgiveness is rare.
Jesus teaches that forgiveness is not a medal we earn but a gift we pass on. We are not “worthy servants” stacking up good works—we are unworthy servants who still hurt and provoke others. Yet Christ forgives us. On the cross He tore sin out by the roots and cast it into the sea. In Baptism, Absolution, and His Supper, He keeps doing this for you.
Forgiveness is not our accomplishment. It is the Gospel in action. By the Spirit, we guard and share this treasure: three little words that change everything—“I forgive you.” Which is simply another way of saying, “I love you.”

Looks Can Be Deceiving | Luke 16:19–31 | The Rich Man and Lazarus
Looks can be deceiving. By all appearances, the rich man in Jesus’ story was “blessed.” He had everything he wanted, lived in luxury, and was admired by others. It seemed as though God approved of his life. Meanwhile, Lazarus appeared “cursed”—homeless, sick, hungry, and ignored. Yet appearances were not the truth. In the end, the one who looked blessed was cursed, and the one who looked cursed was blessed.
So how do we know who is truly blessed? Not by what our eyes see or by the world’s opinions, but by what our ears hear. God’s Word tells us the truth. It reveals who we are in Christ—despite appearances, feelings, or the judgments of others. The question is: will we believe what the Word of God says?

God’s Absurd Generosity! | Luke 16:1–13 | The Parable of the Dishonest Manager
Here’s the heart of it all: God Himself is the absurd master. Faced with the tragedy of our sin, He didn’t clutch His wealth. He didn’t demand repayment. He gave His only begotten Son into the flesh to save us from sin, death, and damnation.
Jesus is the true steward who didn’t just cut our debts, He paid them in full with His blood. He didn’t just ease our burden; He bore it all. He didn’t just lower our balance; He stamped across the ledger: “It is finished.”
The cross is the most absurd act in history. God’s own Son dies for sinners. The guilty go free. The dishonest, the greedy, the selfish, the prayerless, the vain—all forgiven. Absurd. Crazy. Wonderful.

Jesus Has Broad Shoulders | Luke 15:1–10 | The Parable of the Lost Sheep
Someone with “broad shoulders” is strong enough to carry the burdens of others. In today’s Gospel, Jesus shows us that He is the Good Shepherd with the broadest shoulders of all. He carries the weight of our sin, the responsibility of our salvation, and He never abandons His sheep.
In the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1–10), we see His heart for each of us: when we stray, He seeks us out, lifts us up, and carries us home. You are not just a number to Him—you are known by name, and you belong to His flock.
💬 Share a comment: How has Jesus carried you in a time when you were lost?
📣 Invite a friend who needs to hear that they are never forgotten by the Good Shepherd.

How Much Does It Cost? | Luke 14:25–35
Jesus tells His disciples to count the cost of following Him. At first, His words may sound discouraging—but in truth, they are meant to make us think about what truly matters in life.
We build careers, families, and dreams like towers, but are we able to complete them? What happens if our plans fall short? Even more, can we construct a life that lasts forever and overcomes death?
The truth is that discipleship comes with a cost—but so does not following Jesus. Our Lord counted the cost of saving us, and it cost Him His life. He paid it willingly because you are worth it to Him.
This Sunday we’ll reflect on what it means to count the cost and to rejoice that Christ has already paid the ultimate price for our salvation.

When Higher is Lower…and Vice Versa | Luke 14:1–14
Pride isn’t only arrogance. It can be the quiet voice of comparison, frustration, or resentment when others don’t notice us. It whispers while we scroll through social media, envious of someone else’s vacations or successes. Pride resists “messes,” but life is messy—like coffee spilled on clean carpet or a child getting sick before guests arrive. Yet Jesus enters our messes, just as He healed the man with dropsy at the Pharisee’s house.
Jesus warns us against seeking the places of honor. The world says moving up means status, salary, or likes, but in His kingdom, moving up often looks like moving down—caring for aging parents, changing diapers at night, or sitting quietly with a suffering friend. These humble acts, done in love, reflect His own humility.
The Gospel is clear: Jesus humbled Himself to death on a cross to raise us up. Like a wedding guest expecting to sit near the kitchen but finding their name at the head table, we are welcomed to Christ’s feast—not as outsiders, but as honored guests. Here at His Table, He feeds us with forgiveness and eternal life.
The Church is not a showroom for the successful but a hospital for sinners. Like an ER that never turns away the sick, Jesus welcomes the broken. And He promises that when He returns, He will seat us at the eternal wedding banquet—a family reunion that never ends, never fractures, never fades. That is the joy set before us: where higher is lower, and lower is lifted forever in Christ.

Disciplined for Holiness | Luke 13:22–30 | The Narrow Door
When I was young, I took piano lessons. My teacher was kind, but relentless. She circled the same mistakes week after week, making me slow down and repeat the basics until I could play them well. At the time, it felt tedious. But she wasn’t punishing me—she was preparing me for something better.
In the same way, God disciplines His children. His discipline is not aimless punishment, but loving training that shapes, strengthens, and prepares us for holiness. Through His Word, He teaches us the narrow way, that we may share in His holiness and enter the narrow door of life.
🙏 Key Takeaway: God’s discipline is love in action—training us to cling to Christ alone for salvation and to live as His holy people.

Demo Before Renno | Jeremiah 23:16–29
Anyone who has ever done a home renovation knows the mess comes before the beauty. Walls must be torn down before they can be rebuilt, dust clouds the air before fresh paint can be applied. In the same way, God’s Word works like fire and like a hammer. It breaks down what is false, corrupt, and in the way—so that new life in Christ may be built up.
Sin isn’t just a blemish to be covered over; it’s a deep corruption that requires demolition. The Word of the Lord refines us, burns away the dross, and rebuilds us in Christ’s image. We must die before we rise.

Are You Living an Anxious Driven Life?
Luke 12:22–34 | Do Not Be Anxious
What drives your life—faith or fear? Jesus confronts the anxious heart and calls us to trust, not in ourselves, but in our heavenly Father who provides all things. Just as children rest securely in the care of their parents, so we are invited to live freely under the Father’s loving provision. Anxiety fades when we remember who holds us.
🔍 Key Takeaway: You are not alone and you are not in control—and that’s good news. God is.

Our Full Baptismal Inheritance | Luke 12:13–21
How much is enough? That’s the question that drives both the man in the crowd and the parable Jesus tells.
Key Takeaways:
We’re tempted to believe the lie that more is always better—more stuff, more security, more control. But Jesus confronts this false security with the story of a rich man who builds bigger barns yet dies before enjoying them. The problem isn’t wealth itself—it’s when we worship it. Earthly treasures fade, but Christ gives us a better inheritance: His righteousness, His forgiveness, and His eternal life. Sealed in baptism, fed in His Supper, and grounded in His Word, this is the treasure that will not perish.

Our Father
Luke 11:1–13
What kind of Father invites you to pray? One who gave His Son for you.
When Jesus teaches us to pray, He begins not with “Almighty God” or “Righteous Judge,” but with “Father.” That one word changes everything—it reveals not just a title but a relationship. In Christ, His Father is now your Father. His prayer is now your prayer.
And yet, how easily we forget. We treat prayer like a last resort or a vending machine. We love the gifts more than the Giver. We go it alone. Earthly fathers, too, fall short—speaking in anger, failing to guide, or remaining absent. The Law shows us where we fall short as children and as parents. But Jesus points us to the cross, where the Father gave His Son to make us His own.
In Holy Baptism, the Spirit teaches us to cry, “Abba, Father.” He gives us the courage to ask, seek, and knock. And the Father listens. He delights to hear your voice. That’s why, just before the Supper, we pray the “Our Father.” It’s the family table prayer of God’s children. Here, the Father feeds us with the Body and Blood of His Son and says, “Welcome home.”

Luke 11:1–13
What kind of Father invites you to pray? One who gave His Son for you.
When Jesus teaches us to pray, He begins not with “Almighty God” or “Righteous Judge,” but with “Father.” That one word changes everything—it reveals not just a title but a relationship. In Christ, His Father is now your Father. His prayer is now your prayer.
And yet, how easily we forget. We treat prayer like a last resort or a vending machine. We love the gifts more than the Giver. We go it alone. Earthly fathers, too, fall short—speaking in anger, failing to guide, or remaining absent. The Law shows us where we fall short as children and as parents. But Jesus points us to the cross, where the Father gave His Son to make us His own.
In Holy Baptism, the Spirit teaches us to cry, “Abba, Father.” He gives us the courage to ask, seek, and knock. And the Father listens. He delights to hear your voice. That’s why, just before the Supper, we pray the “Our Father.” It’s the family table prayer of God’s children. Here, the Father feeds us with the Body and Blood of His Son and says, “Welcome home.”

The One Who Serves | Luke 10:38–42
Mary sat at the Lord’s feet. Martha served with urgency. But Jesus did not rebuke Martha’s service—He simply reminded her of what was most needful.
In this moment from Luke’s Gospel, we find both Mary and Martha giving and receiving. And in the middle of it all stands Jesus—the One who serves. He teaches, He receives, and He continues to do the same for us today. When we gather in worship, Christ serves us with His Word and Sacrament. And when we serve one another, He tells us that He receives it as service unto Himself.
Key Takeaways:
• Jesus comes to serve us in Word and Meal
• We receive His gifts, and we respond in service
• In serving others, we serve Christ Himself

Jesus’ Neighbor, and Yours
Luke 10:25–37 | The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Who is my neighbor? It’s a question asked not just by a lawyer in Jesus’ day, but by many of us still today. In one of the most well-known parables, Jesus shows that our neighbor is not defined by geography, background, or even behavior—but by need. The one who needs your mercy is your neighbor.
The hymn reminds us, “The Law of God is Good and Wise” (LSB 579), and that law calls us to love, serve, and show mercy to all whom God places before us—yes, even the unlovable, the overlooked, and the outright difficult. Whether it’s the wounded, the wicked, or the weary, the call is the same: “Go and do likewise.”
Christ Himself is the ultimate Good Samaritan—He did not pass us by in our sin and death but came to us, bore our burdens, and paid the cost to make us whole. Now, in His mercy, we are set free to do the same for others.

What Brings You Joy? | Luke 10:1-20
On this Fourth of July weekend, we pause to reflect on a deeper kind of joy—one that cannot be shaken by trials or taken away by time.
True joy isn’t just a smile or fleeting emotion. It’s a lasting peace, rooted in Jesus Christ and His finished work. In Luke 10, Jesus reminds us not to rejoice in worldly success or power, but in something far greater: “Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Sin distorts God’s gifts and leaves us restless. But through the cross, Jesus won for us complete forgiveness—removing guilt, shame, and fear. Our eternal joy was purchased by His suffering and death, and it is renewed each time we receive His Body and Blood in Holy Communion.
We give thanks for the earthly freedoms we enjoy—especially the freedom to worship and proclaim the Gospel. But even these are temporary compared to the unshakable joy of belonging to God’s Kingdom, a joy sealed in Baptism and nourished in the Church.
Rejoice! Your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
✝️ Key Takeaway: Our joy isn’t found in success, safety, or earthly freedom, but in Jesus—crucified, risen, and present with us in Word and Sacrament.

The Face of God | Luke 8:26–39
What do we see when we look into the face of Jesus?
In a world that reads faces to judge character, status, and identity, Christ reveals something far deeper: the very heart of God. In this week’s Gospel, we encounter Jesus as He heals a man possessed by demons—showing His divine authority, compassion, and the unshakable peace He alone can give. Through this act and through His journey to the cross, Jesus shows us not only His power, but His purpose: to set His face toward Jerusalem for our salvation.
🕊 “For God… has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6)
Key Takeaways:
Jesus reveals the heart of God through His face and His actions.
He willingly “sets His face” toward suffering to save us.
His healing brings peace that reaches deeper than any affliction.

Jesus Overcomes Our Estrangement | Luke 8:26–39
Estrangement is more than distance—it's a broken relationship, where communication has collapsed and people live in separation, sometimes even hostility. In Luke 8, we meet a man who embodies this estrangement: isolated, tormented, and living among the dead. Yet Jesus crosses the sea to reach even him.
In this sermon, we see how Jesus heals the man possessed by a legion of demons, not merely to show power over evil—but to overcome separation. Separation from self. From others. From God.
That same Savior still comes to us today—through the boat of His Church, in the power of His Word and Spirit. He brings healing where there is hurt, communion where there is division, and peace where there was once only torment. Jesus overcomes our estrangement.
Key Takeaway:
Jesus doesn’t avoid the broken—He seeks them. He brings the Gospel to the spiritually isolated, and He restores us to the family of God.

Jesus Overcomes Our Estrangement | Luke 8:26–39
Estrangement is more than distance—it's a broken relationship, where communication has collapsed and people live in separation, sometimes even hostility. In Luke 8, we meet a man who embodies this estrangement: isolated, tormented, and living among the dead. Yet Jesus crosses the sea to reach even him.
In this sermon, we see how Jesus heals the man possessed by a legion of demons, not merely to show power over evil—but to overcome separation. Separation from self. From others. From God.
That same Savior still comes to us today—through the boat of His Church, in the power of His Word and Spirit. He brings healing where there is hurt, communion where there is division, and peace where there was once only torment. Jesus overcomes our estrangement.
Key Takeaway:
Jesus doesn’t avoid the broken—He seeks them. He brings the Gospel to the spiritually isolated, and He restores us to the family of God.

🕊️ The Great, Merciful I AM
John 8:48–59 | Before Abraham Was, I Am
June 15–17, 2025
Trinity Sunday & Father’s Day
On this Trinity Sunday and Father’s Day, we are reminded that the Church is not a museum for saints—but a hospital for sinners. Jesus, the eternal “I AM,” speaks not with condemnation, but with the mercy and authority of God Himself. His words in John 8 echo the voice of Wisdom in Proverbs 8 and the majesty of Psalm 8, where God crowns humanity with glory and honor. This same Jesus, crucified and risen, is proclaimed by Peter in Acts 2 as both Lord and Christ—the living God who took on flesh for us.
The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not an abstract riddle, but a reality lived and confessed. The Father sends, the Son saves, and the Spirit sanctifies. The Athanasian Creed boldly proclaims this mystery: one God in three persons. And on this Father’s Day, we give thanks for earthly fathers—not for perfection, but for the calling they have to reflect the care and steadfast love of our heavenly Father.
Come, then, with your sins, your weakness, and your burdens. The Triune God welcomes you with mercy and strength. In the Sacrament, He feeds you with Christ’s true body and blood, uniting you with Himself and with His Church.

🔥 Come, Holy Ghost!
Today, we reflect on Jesus’ promise in John 14:23–31—a promise fulfilled at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended not to confuse, but to clarify; not to divide, but to unite.
At Babel, humanity sought to reach heaven through pride and power. At Calvary, Christ descended in humility to build a better tower—the Cross. And at Pentecost, God sends His Spirit so that the Gospel might be heard in every tongue.
The Holy Spirit doesn't just translate language—He transforms hearts. Where Babel brought division, Pentecost brings peace. Where human effort failed, divine mercy prevails.
🕊️ Join us for worship as we rejoice in the gift of the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies our speech, proclaims Christ’s peace, and gathers the nations into one Church.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
Babel was prideful ascent; the Cross is God’s gracious descent.
Pentecost reverses Babel by sanctifying our speech—not erasing difference, but exalting the Gospel in every tongue.
The Holy Spirit bridges the ultimate divide—not between languages, but between God and man.
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.” (John 14:27)

🕊️ Jesus is Praying that We Become One
John 17:20–26 | The High Priestly Prayer
📅 Sunday Service — Trinity Lutheran Church, Sheboygan
In this powerful Gospel reading from John 17, we hear Jesus' prayer for unity—true unity—the kind that reflects His own oneness with the Father. And yet, the Church today can often feel fractured, broken, and divided. So how do we make sense of the contrast between Christ’s prayer and the disunity we witness?
This Sunday—nestled between Ascension and Pentecost—reminds us of the ongoing, active work of God in His Church. Christ is not absent. He is ascended, praying for us, and sending His Spirit through His Word. This is not our church built on human effort. It is God’s Church, built by His Word, united in the forgiveness of sins.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Jesus’ prayer is for our unity in Him
The Church exists because of God’s work, not ours
Unity comes through His Word, not compromise
Between Ascension and Pentecost, we are reminded of His ongoing mission

🙏 Praying Like Children | John 16:23–33 | Trinity Lutheran Church (LCMS) – Sheboygan, WI
📖 “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
What does it mean to pray like children in a world that feels like it’s overcoming the Church? In this week’s message, we reflect on the bold truth that Jesus has overcome — even when the world feels heavy, even when tribulation surrounds us.
On the night He was betrayed, Jesus prayed from a place of agony — not glory. And so do we. Like children who need their Father, we cry out in faith, not sight. In today’s Gospel, Jesus invites us to trust not in outcomes, but in Him. To believe the promise is just as real as the empty tomb. Because it is.
📌 Key Takeaways:
Jesus has overcome — the cross, the grave, the world.
Our prayers come from Gethsemane, not glory — but they are heard.
We have a Father who listens — even when the answer waits for eternity.
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29)
✝️ Join us as we pray like children — trusting our Father to answer.

🙏 Praying Like Children | John 16:23–33 | Trinity Lutheran Church (LCMS) – Sheboygan, WI
📖 “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
What does it mean to pray like children in a world that feels like it’s overcoming the Church? In this week’s message, we reflect on the bold truth that Jesus has overcome — even when the world feels heavy, even when tribulation surrounds us.
On the night He was betrayed, Jesus prayed from a place of agony — not glory. And so do we. Like children who need their Father, we cry out in faith, not sight. In today’s Gospel, Jesus invites us to trust not in outcomes, but in Him. To believe the promise is just as real as the empty tomb. Because it is.
📌 Key Takeaways:
Jesus has overcome — the cross, the grave, the world.
Our prayers come from Gethsemane, not glory — but they are heard.
We have a Father who listens — even when the answer waits for eternity.
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29)
✝️ Join us as we pray like children — trusting our Father to answer.

In a world filled with countless voices clamoring for our attention, one voice stands apart—clear, faithful, and comforting.

When we wander, bruised and breathless, He does not scold; instead, He rejoices and gently gathers us into His embrace. You are never abandoned to life's chaotic noise. Your Good Shepherd calls you personally, leading you beside still waters.
Join us as we explore the profound assurance of being safely held in the hands of our Good Shepherd.
Key Takeaways:
Jesus’ voice offers comfort, direction, and assurance.

You Know It Is the Lord! | John 21:1-14 | Trinity Lutheran Church
Have you ever had a moment when God's promises became unmistakably clear? In John 21:1-14, the disciples experience this very clarity. Initially, they don't recognize the figure on the shore—until He speaks and His promise is fulfilled. They've witnessed this before: a night of fruitless fishing, then a simple command from Jesus, and suddenly their nets overflow. "It is the Lord!" proclaims John, recognizing Jesus by His word that accomplishes exactly what He promises.
Today, we hear that same powerful word, given so that "you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31). Listen and believe—it truly is the Lord!
✨ Key Takeaways:
Jesus fulfills His promises in unexpected ways.
Recognizing Jesus comes through hearing His Word.
God's Word is powerful, creating faith and life.

🔑 Forgiveness is the Key
📖 John 20:19–31
📍 Trinity Lutheran Church, Sheboygan, WI
“Peace be with you.” With these words, the risen Christ steps once again into locked rooms and fearful hearts—not with judgment, but with mercy. Just as He stood among the disciples, He now stands among us through His Word, through Baptism, and in His Body and Blood. He brings not condemnation but the keys to unlock fear, guilt, and even death itself.
This Sunday, we join Thomas and all who have doubted, struggled, and longed for peace. The One with nail-pierced hands now reaches out to us. And when He speaks, it is not empty comfort—it is a reality sealed in His resurrection. The grave has lost its grip. Hell has lost its claim. And your heart? It is set free.
✝️ Come and receive what Thomas once touched, what the Church has always been given: the risen Christ, for you.
💬 Forgiveness is the key. And Jesus has already turned it.

🌸 Easter Sunday – Not What Was Expected
Luke 24:1–12 | The Women at the Tomb
They came expecting to anoint a dead body. Instead, they found an empty tomb, folded grave clothes, and two angels declaring, “He is not here, but has risen.” In Luke 24:1–12, the women who had followed Jesus were the first to hear the resurrection news—and it was not what they expected.
“Not What Was Expected” invites us to reflect on the many ways God surprises us with grace. The resurrection of Jesus overturns every earthly expectation. In place of mourning, we are given joy. In place of death, we receive life. And in place of fear, Christ speaks peace.
📖 Key Takeaways
The resurrection confronts our expectations and reshapes our hope.
God often works in ways we do not anticipate—but always for our good.
Like the women at the tomb, we are called to believe and proclaim.

🌸 Easter Sunday – Not What Was Expected
Luke 24:1–12 | The Women at the Tomb
They came expecting to anoint a dead body. Instead, they found an empty tomb, folded grave clothes, and two angels declaring, “He is not here, but has risen.” In Luke 24:1–12, the women who had followed Jesus were the first to hear the resurrection news—and it was not what they expected.
“Not What Was Expected” invites us to reflect on the many ways God surprises us with grace. The resurrection of Jesus overturns every earthly expectation. In place of mourning, we are given joy. In place of death, we receive life. And in place of fear, Christ speaks peace.
📖 Key Takeaways
The resurrection confronts our expectations and reshapes our hope.
God often works in ways we do not anticipate—but always for our good.
Like the women at the tomb, we are called to believe and proclaim.

🌅 Easter Sunrise – Waking Up to a New Day
John 20:1–18 | The Empty Tomb and the Risen Christ
Before the sun rose, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb—and nothing would ever be the same again. In John 20:1–18, she finds the stone rolled away, the grave clothes folded, and a gardener who speaks her name with divine familiarity. It was Jesus—alive. Risen. Just as He promised.
In “Waking Up to a New Day,” we encounter Easter not just as a moment in history, but as the beginning of something new for us all. Sin is buried. Death is defeated. And like Mary, we are called by name into the light of resurrection hope.
📖 Key Takeaways
Easter begins in darkness—but ends in light and joy.
Jesus calls His people by name and sends them to proclaim.
The resurrection isn’t just a past event—it’s a present reality.

✝ Good Friday – John, The Gospel Writer
John 19:25–37 | Behold the Lamb of God, Pierced for Us
On this most solemn day, we behold Christ crucified—our Savior lifted high upon the cross. In John 19:25–37, the Gospel writer gives us a deeply personal and eyewitness account of Jesus’ final moments. John stood at the foot of the cross. He saw the blood and water flow. He heard Christ’s final words and watched Him breathe His last.
“John, The Gospel Writer” draws us into that moment—not as distant readers, but as those who have been called to witness and believe. Through John’s eyes, we see the fulfillment of Scripture, the depth of Christ’s love, and the beginning of the Church’s life flowing from His pierced side.
📖 Key Takeaways
John’s Gospel gives us a firsthand witness to Jesus' death.
Scripture is fulfilled in every detail, down to the last breath.
From Jesus’ side flows life for the Church—blood and water, Word and Sacrament.

🕊 Maundy Thursday – When Everything Old is New Again
Luke 22:7–20 | The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
On this sacred night, we gather with Christ in the upper room. The bread and wine—ancient elements of the Passover—become something entirely new. In Luke 22:7–20, Jesus reveals that the long-anticipated promise of God is now fulfilled in Him. What was once a remembrance of deliverance from Egypt becomes a new covenant in His blood—deliverance from sin and death itself.
“When Everything Old is New Again” reminds us that in Christ, tradition is not discarded, but fulfilled. He takes what is old and makes it new—just as He does with us.
📖 Key Takeaways
Jesus transforms the Passover into the Lord’s Supper.
The old covenant gives way to the new covenant in His blood.
In Christ, we are made new—again and again.

📖 Expectations Meet Reality
The Triumphal Entry – Palm Sunday | Sunday of the Passion
John 12:12–19
Have you ever had your expectations turned upside down? Maybe you thought the game would be an easy win—but it wasn’t. Maybe that meal looked great on the menu—but not so great on the plate. Maybe that photo your friend took—looked better before you saw it.
Palm Sunday is a moment when expectations collided with divine reality. The crowds expected a political liberator. What they got was the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Jesus entered Jerusalem not to claim a throne, but to embrace a cross. And in doing so, He fulfilled the mission that no one expected: to give His life for the life of the world.
Yet even after death, when the disciples expected grief, fear, and failure—what met them instead was the risen Christ. Peace, not panic. Life, not loss. Forgiveness, not fear.
Key Takeaway:
✝️ God’s plans are often bigger than our expectations. What looks like defeat may be the doorway to eternal life.

🕊️ “Behold Your King!” — John 19:1–16 | Trinity Lutheran Church, Sheboygan, WI
Pontius Pilate stands at the center of one of the most profound moments in human history—confronted with the Truth incarnate, yet choosing compromise over conviction. What can we learn from his encounter with Christ?
Join us at Trinity Lutheran as we reflect on John 19:1–16, where Pilate, the Roman governor, becomes a reluctant and conflicted participant in the Passion of our Lord. Though he finds no guilt in Jesus, fear and politics prevail. What does Pilate's wavering reveal about the nature of justice, truth, and our own hearts today?
🔑 Key Takeaways
The weakness of earthly authority in the face of eternal truth
How compromise and fear can lead to grave injustice
Christ's silent strength and divine sovereignty through it all
📖 “He delivered Him over to them to be crucified.” (John 19:16)
Christ’s path to the cross was marked by human failure—but God's plan for our redemption was never out of His hands.

📖 Hope for Wicked Tenants
Luke 20:9–20
🕊️ Worship with us at Trinity Lutheran Church, School, and Childcare in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Who crucified Jesus? It wasn’t just the Jews. It wasn’t just the Romans. The truth of the Gospel is far more profound—and far more personal. We are the wicked tenants in Jesus’ parable. We rejected the Son. Our sin placed Him on the cross.
Yet, the hope of the Gospel remains: God uses what is evil for good. In this Holy Week parable, Jesus foretells not only His own death but the radical grace that comes through it. The Son was killed—but not without purpose. Through His death, life is given. The inheritance we squandered is restored—not by our works, but by His wounds.
👁️🗨️ In this sermon, discover how Christ turns rejection into redemption and death into life. Though we are guilty, we are not forsaken. There is hope—for us wicked tenants.
✝️ Key Takeaways:
The parable reveals the universal guilt of mankind in Christ's crucifixion.
God’s justice and mercy are fully revealed in Jesus' death.
The inheritance of eternal life is restored to us through the rejected Son.

📖 Hope for Wicked Tenants
Luke 20:9–20
🕊️ Worship with us at Trinity Lutheran Church, School, and Childcare in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Who crucified Jesus? It wasn’t just the Jews. It wasn’t just the Romans. The truth of the Gospel is far more profound—and far more personal. We are the wicked tenants in Jesus’ parable. We rejected the Son. Our sin placed Him on the cross.
Yet, the hope of the Gospel remains: God uses what is evil for good. In this Holy Week parable, Jesus foretells not only His own death but the radical grace that comes through it. The Son was killed—but not without purpose. Through His death, life is given. The inheritance we squandered is restored—not by our works, but by His wounds.
👁️🗨️ In this sermon, discover how Christ turns rejection into redemption and death into life. Though we are guilty, we are not forsaken. There is hope—for us wicked tenants.
✝️ Key Takeaways:
The parable reveals the universal guilt of mankind in Christ's crucifixion.
God’s justice and mercy are fully revealed in Jesus' death.
The inheritance of eternal life is restored to us through the rejected Son.

“Not This Man, But Barabbas!”
📖 John 18:33–40
As Pontius Pilate presents Jesus before the crowd, asking if they wish for Him to be released, the response is chilling: “Not this man, but Barabbas!” In this week’s message, we take a closer look at Barabbas—the insurrectionist, the murderer, the man who walked free. But Barabbas is more than a footnote in the Passion narrative. He is, in many ways, us.
Through this powerful sermon, we confront the hard truth: that Christ takes our place—not just theoretically, but historically and eternally. Barabbas went free because Jesus did not. And by that same substitution, so do we.
🔑 Key Takeaways
• Barabbas reminds us of the depth of our sin—and the greater depth of Christ’s love.
• Jesus is the true King, even when rejected by the world.
• Our freedom is not earned, but given through Christ crucified.

There is Only One Good Son
📖 Luke 15:1–3, 11–32 — The Parable of the Prodigal Son
🎙️ Trinity Lutheran Church – Sheboygan, Wisconsin
The parable of the prodigal son is one of the most beloved stories in all of Scripture—but it’s far more than a story. It’s a living truth: no matter how far we've wandered or how deeply we've fallen, our heavenly Father longs to welcome us home. In this message, we explore how Jesus reveals not just the heart of the Father, but the identity of the one true Good Son—Christ Himself—who traded His perfection for our shame.
👉 Key Takeaways
• The story is more than fiction—it’s your reality in Christ.
• God doesn’t wait with judgment but with mercy and love.
• Jesus is the perfect Son, given for all prodigal sons and daughters.
• You are never too lost to be found in the Father’s embrace.
🙏 Whether you're burdened by guilt, struggling with shame, or simply in need of hope, this message reminds us all: there is always a place for you in your Father's house.

Today, we thank God for His angels. Those fighters, messengers, and worshipers God sends to help us. But do not thank them for their service they do not want your thanks. They want you only to thank the one who created them and you, and who, as we prayed earlier: ordained and constituted the service of angels and men in a wonderful order. Thank and praise the one who came and fought for you on the cross and died for you, that you who die might live forever. The angels are the Secret Service and want to stay that way.
For it is Jesus who saves you, not them. It is Jesus who died for you, not them. It is Jesus they proclaim and want proclaimed, not them. Today we gather around the altar with the angels, join their hymn of praise, and we will receive the body and blood of Jesus, and His victory over the steely cages of sin and death.

Are you ever afraid to ask someone a question? If you are, it’s probably because you expect it to be an answer you don’t like. Maybe it’s a question like, “How did I do on that test?” Or “What are the results of the PET Scan?” You’re afraid to ask because you’re afraid of the answer.
Today we hear Jesus reveal to His disciples that He is going to be handed over to the authorities, and that they’re going to kill him. “And when he is killed,” Jesus says, “after three days he will rise.” “The disciples did not understand the saying and were afraid to ask him.” But why?
Was it because they didn’t want Him to know that they didn’t understand? Or was it because they were afraid of what that would mean not only for Jesus, but for them?

“Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.” (Isaiah 50:10) You know how it turned out for that father; you know how it turned out with Jesus’ resurrection. Do you think it will be any different for you, O you of little faith? Even if things get dark for a while, all things are possible for one who believes, for all things are possible for the one we believe in. Jesus was dead, but now is alive. Is the evil one throwing you into the fire and water to try to destroy you?
Do not worry - Jesus beat him to it! John the Baptist said it: He who is coming after me is mightier than I . . . He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit (water) and fire (John 3:11). And He has! You are baptized into Jesus’ death and resurrection to destroy the sin in you and give you a new life (Romans 6). His life. A forgiven life. A life that neither sin, death, nor devil can end. That when your body becomes a corpse, maybe for a long time, Jesus will then come and take you by the hand and lift you up, too. To a life where no evil, no darkness, can ever enter again.

An impediment is a hinderance or obstruction in doing something. The issue with the man they brought to Jesus was that there was a barrier that prevented him from hearing and speaking plainly. While most of us don’t have a problem with physical hearing or speaking, we do face obstacles when it comes to listening the Word of God and expressing it plainly. It is why you were brought here, to the Lord in His Church, by those who care about you.
They were literally led by the Spirit of God to bring you to Jesus, and you now do the same for others. For even today, Jesus is present among us to remove our impediments to hearing His Word and to conveying it plainly to others.

An impediment is a hinderance or obstruction in doing something. The issue with the man they brought to Jesus was that there was a barrier that prevented him from hearing and speaking plainly. While most of us don’t have a problem with physical hearing or speaking, we do face obstacles when it comes to listening the Word of God and expressing it plainly. It is why you were brought here, to the Lord in His Church, by those who care about you.
They were literally led by the Spirit of God to bring you to Jesus, and you now do the same for others. For even today, Jesus is present among us to remove our impediments to hearing His Word and to conveying it plainly to others.
Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting. Trinity is located in downtown Sheboygan, only one block from the Mead Public Library and the Weill Center for the Performing Arts. We invite you to visit us in person!

Jesus comes from outside of us - from heaven’s high throne and He comes to be one of us, incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary. He is made man. He breaks into our broken world - breathes our poisoned air and brings with him all of the righteousness and holiness of God, for that is who He is. He takes all of your sin that flows from an unclean sin-clogged heart and answers for it.
Dies with it. Forgives it and doesn’t hold it against you. Because it all belongs to Him! He is the slain Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! With His bloody forgiveness put in your ears and hearts you are restored to God! Purified! Cleansed! When the Father looks at you He sees you covered in the blood of His Son you Savior, Jesus. The blood of Jesus washed your heart clean in Holy Baptism.

A tradition is the transmission of customs or beliefs from one generation to the next. The true tradition of the church is the Gospel and all proper practices or traditions in the church teach the Gospel. For example, I was never officially taught to sing hymns as a young child.
This was a tradition passed along to me. I just watched my parents and brothers open their hymnals and sing, and I followed their lead. I distinctly remember reflecting on this in church one Sunday as a little boy. I can even tell you which pew I was sitting in at Our Savior Lutheran Church. I remember thinking that this was the only place at that point in my life where I sang anything. The hymns that I sang taught me the Word of God as they confessed the readings and sermon of that day.
Traditions such as singing hymns that confess the word of God are godly traditions since they focus on what Jesus has done and continues to do for the life of the world, for the life of you and me.

Jesus says, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.” This is indeed good news! Imagine if that news got out into our community. We have a bread here in this place that brings eternal life, a cure for death, a bread that has the power to raise you to life from death.
Well, the demand would be overwhelming. The crowds here at Trinity Lutheran Church would rival the crowds at major sporting events. People would be lining up for this bread for miles - trying to break down our doors to get it. People would be bringing their children and friends from miles to get this living bread from heaven. This is exactly what happens each Lord’s Day here in this place.
Jesus gives us His very body and blood in, with and under bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins life and salvation! What else can we do but sing, “Thank the Lord and sing His praise tell everyone what He has done!”

It is estimated that there are more than one hundred different types of bread made in this world of ours. It’s why it is fascinating to learn today that there is only one bread of heaven, one bread that sustains our life with God and each other. One bread that delivers the benefits of the work of God. One bread “that gives life to the world.” Jesus said, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”

When you take a look around in this congregation, it doesn’t take much imagination to see a crowd like those on the shore of Lake Gennesaret. People who are tired and sick, hurting and struggling and in need of help. People who look defeated by the troubles of life and our struggles with them. But we are not defeated! We are not alone facing the stormy seas. We are not alone facing trials and struggles. We are ever alone. Jesus is with you. He never changes. He is the God who is able. He is able to create, able to keep, able to save. He will not pass you by. You are His. And though the way be rough, and the storms be huge now, know this: He is the God who is able to save you!

Do our hearts go out to people around us as did the heart of Jesus? Have you looked around you to see the pain, suffering and hurt in the world, in your community, in your family? Maybe it is time that we take a closer look at the emptiness, confusion and loneliness that lies in our world. Maybe it is time that we see people with the eyes of Jesus as sheep without a Shepherd. How can the church help? How can you help and have compassion? How has Christ fed you today and had compassion on you?

King Herod’s lust, pride and probably his consumption of one too many drinks at his own party, made him speak words he would later regret. To impress his guests he made a vow to his niece who had just danced for him, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you. Up to half my kingdom.” There’s an old saying, “Be careful what you wish for.”
Herod’s niece didn’t know what to ask for, so she wished for what her adulterous mother wanted, namely, the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Caught in his own bravado and not wanting to look bad in front of his guests, Herod granted her wish. This wish of Herodias spoken through her daughter silenced the only one around who was telling her the truth of her sin. Getting what she wished for led to the continued impenitence and condemnation of herself and Herod. Be careful what you wish for.

After our weekly Bible study, we had an off the cuff conversation. Thought it was interesting and insightful. maybe if this is received well, it is something we can expand upon.

King Herod’s lust, pride and probably his consumption of one too many drinks at his own party, made him speak words he would later regret. To impress his guests he made a vow to his niece who had just danced for him, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you. Up to half my kingdom.” There’s an old saying, “Be careful what you wish for.”
Herod’s niece didn’t know what to ask for, so she wished for what her adulterous mother wanted, namely, the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Caught in his own bravado and not wanting to look bad in front of his guests, Herod granted her wish. This wish of Herodias spoken through her daughter silenced the only one around who was telling her the truth of her sin. Getting what she wished for led to the continued impenitence and condemnation of herself and Herod. Be careful what you wish for.

Jesus authorized His disciples to say and do what He said and did. That was the scope of their authority. He does the same for you and your pastors whom God has called and ordained to serve you. He authorizes us as His people to say and do what He says and does both as the priesthood of all believers and as pastors.

At the end of the day here’s what you need to know and believe. Have no fear, have faith in Jesus who has conquered sin and death for you. He became sin for you; He died your death for you. He rose from the dead for you. He reigns in highest heaven for you. He comes to you in Holy Baptism, Holy Communion, and His Holy Word. These are the humble robes you can touch and be healed with.
And on the last day Jesus will reach down to where you lie in the sleep of death like Jairus’ little daughter. He will take your hand and say to you, “My daughter, my son arise!” He will raise you up just as He did Jairus’ little girl, and you will run around for an eternity and He will feed you at His feast forever.

One of the things we learn from this incident on the Sea of Galilee is that the disciples still have a lot to learn about Jesus. To be a disciple means that you are a learner. So it was with the twelve. So it is with us. They were not disciples, and we are not disciples, because of what we know, but rather we are disciples because we need to continue to learn and grow in our understanding of who Jesus is and what He means for our lives. It is a lifetime endeavor, a venture that brings innumerable blessings into our hearts and lives, and into the hearts and lives of others.

“The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” We don’t rely on what we see or what we know or how we might improve on and do better than God! We simply rely on the promises of God.
It’s His seed, His Word, His gifts, His kingdom, His plants, His children, His harvest, His work. He has shown and proved across the centuries and the millennia, He will make it grow and flourish. Sometimes in spite of us. Sometimes after we’ve messed it up pretty bad. Sometimes when we least expect it. Sometimes how we least expect it and sometimes where we least expect it.

“Out of the depths I cry to you,” writes the psalmist. Trapped in the depths of sin and death, we become painfully aware that we cannot save ourselves. Yet when out of the depths of despair, we cry out to the Lord, our Father in heaven hears our cry. He, who sent Jesus into the depths of our sin and death, reaches down His hand in Christ to lift us up to new life with Him and each other.

There are days when our lives seem so cracked and broken. Paul puts it this way, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.” We carry around Jesus’ death. Perhaps you are thinking what in the world does this even mean? Because I carry Jesus’ death around with me, you cannot kill me. Not ultimately anyway. Because I carry Jesus’ death around with me, you can knock me down but not out; you can throw me into the deepest pit, but I will never be abandoned; you can do your level worst to me, but I have the security that makes me rise above it all. I carry around with me the worst thing that ever happened to anyone anywhere, the death of God’s own Son on a tree.
So, the worst you can do to me still is not as bad as what happened to Jesus. I am baptized into Christ! Nothing will separate me from His love not even death! You are in Christ Jesus, and you will live! As the hymn writer put it: “In Thine arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here, Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Lightings flash and thunders crash; Yet, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me! Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus enters in.
Those who love the father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yes, whate’er I must bear, Thou art still my purest pleasure, Jesus priceless treasure!” LSB #743

While the mystery of the Trinity is incomprehensible to us, so is God’s love for us in Christ. Something that is incomprehensible is puzzling, unfathomable, beyond our ability to grasp. It is truly beyond our understanding that God would love the very people who destroyed everything He made. It is baffling that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16), but it’s true.

“Son of Man, can these bones live?” That’s the question, isn’t it? Whether you’re standing in a valley of dry, dead bones, or in a cemetery, or when you’re standing at the bed side of a loved one who has just died. Is there any hope for life in the midst of sin and death? Jesus has answered that question for us once and for all! Jesus is the Son of God who became the Son of Man, to come and give us life again. Everywhere Jesus went there was life. Sinners forgiven, the diseased healed, lepers cleansed, the blind given sight, the deaf given hearing, the mute given voice, the paralyzed walking again, the demon-possessed restored, and the dead raised. Jesus came and entered those voids of sin and death and grave that are our creation, to give us an answer to that question once and for all. “Son of Man, can these bones live?” Easter is God’s resounding yes! Yes, these dry, dead bones can live.
For in Jesus’ resurrection, we see there is One who has atoned for our sin, who defeated death, and who conquered the grave. And because He did, He is able to do the same for you. To pull you out of the void. To forgive your sins. To give you comfort and hope. To give you life. And not only on the last day, but already here and now. For Ezekiel’s vision was of the whole house of Israel, and that includes you. And so yes, for you too, your tired, old, dry, dead bones can live!

As Jesus is about to lay down His life on the cross for His friends, for His enemies, for you and me, and for all people, He prays…for all of us. What do you do when you’re concerned for someone? You pray for them. Jesus prays, “Holy Father…I have given them your word.” In this prayer Jesus is saying to us, “You have my word.” To have Jesus’ word is to have God’s word. Jesus is saying, “You have my promise, God’s promise, that I will do what He has said.” Jesus gives us God’s Word and promise, to do three things - three things that we need, namely, to keep us from the evil one, to sanctify us, and to make us one.

In a world that more and more seems to be overcoming the faith, Jesus says it is our faith in Him that overcomes the world. In a world more and more hostile to God, Jesus is still calling tax collectors and sinners His friends. In a world more and more going its own way and accelerating away from God, Jesus calls us to try a new way.
Which is really not new at all, but old. His way. The way of love. How He created things in the beginning, before we were injected with a lethal dose of sin and death. So Jesus comes to make all things new again (Revelation 21:5). To make you new again, to live a new life, to live an old love as His friends. And you are. Because He said so. And what He says, happens. What He says, is. And one day He will say rise, and you will.

Little by little it seems our culture is moving from being centered on the family with its focus of love for one another to tribalism, where membership is based not on love, but on grievance. An episode of the iconic 90’s sitcom Seinfeld has a humorous example of this as one of the characters in the show decides to make up his own secular holiday to replace Christmas. He called it Festivus. “Festivus for the rest of us.” Instead of sharing gifts put under a Christmas tree and celebrating the love of God in Jesus Christ, the family gathered around an aluminum pole for an activity the character, Frank Costanza, called, “The airing of grievances.” It seems, at least to me, that this humorous episode of the fictional Seinfeld has captured something that is happening more and more in real life where the focus has become not love, but grievance. As grievance culture replaces a culture of love emanating from the love of God and expressed in the family, things are not so funny anymore. Apart from God in Christ, we are left with just the oppressed and the oppressors. The antidote for this comes not from us, but from God. “God is love,” and He has manifested Himself to us by sending “his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.” As we “abide in him and he in us” we become instruments not of grievance, but of love.

As human beings we have five basic senses: touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. The sensing organs associated with each sense send information to the brain to help us understand and perceive the world around us. In our text for today, the sense of hearing, sight, touch, smell, and taste are all in play. The disciples hear Jesus speak and He invites them to touch Him, and then they see with their eyes that He is indeed resurrected in the flesh. “While they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, He said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ They gave Him a piece of broiled fish, and He took it and ate it before them,” engaging the senses of both the smell of a fish boil and the taste of a fish. The disciples understand and perceive through the resurrected senses of both themselves and Jesus that Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Wounds tell a story: scraped knees tell of recklessness, scarred wrists tell of despair, and scarred souls tell of misery, but even those wounds can be taken up into Jesus’ wounds and be transformed into a part of the resurrection story. How? By what Jesus gives out in today’s Gospel reading: forgiveness of sins. As Jesus has forgiven you of all your sins, he takes those wounds of yours and brings them into his, so that you would experience the heart of Jesus—the very place of love. Anything less than entering into Jesus’ wounds and touching his heart will not do for you today because it is there in Jesus’ wounds, we see Jesus as our Lord and God and see our life in the light of his resurrection. We all come with our wounds and our fears today as did Thomas and the rest of the apostles. Today Jesus invites you to come to him and place your hands in His hands and in His side.

Wounds tell a story: scraped knees tell of recklessness, scarred wrists tell of despair, and scarred souls tell of misery, but even those wounds can be taken up into Jesus’ wounds and be transformed into a part of the resurrection story. How? By what Jesus gives out in today’s Gospel reading: forgiveness of sins.

Today we wave our palm branches, not in imitation of those in Jerusalem that day, but in anticipation of Jesus, our King, coming again for us, and when we will wave them on that eternal day in heaven. On that day when there will be no more death, only life eternal. This is also why we sing hosanna not just today, but every Sunday, as our King comes to us not humbly on a donkey, but humbly in water, word, bread and wine. Coming to hosanna us, save us, from our sins with the forgiveness of our sins. What He accomplished for us that week is given to us here every week: forgiveness, life, and salvation. Thanks be to God!

The Son of David comes in gentle humility, “sitting on a donkey's colt,” yet as the King of Israel “in the name of the Lord” (John 12:13–15). He comes to be lifted up in glory on the Cross in order to cast out “the ruler of this world” and draw all people to Himself (John 12:23–32). The Church is thus called to “rejoice greatly,” because her King comes with salvation, and “He shall speak peace to the nations” (Zech. 9:9–10). As He is anointed “beforehand for burial” (Mark 14:8), He also ascends His royal throne as “the King of the Jews” by way of His Passion (Mark 15:2, 17–19, 26). He goes “as it is written of Him,” wherefore “you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power” (Mark 14:21, 62). For the glory of God is Love, which crescendos in the humble obedience and voluntary self- sacrifice of the Son of God for the salvation of sinners. So God the Father has “highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the Name that is above every name” (Phil. 2:9), that He might reign over us in love with the forgiveness of His Cross

The phrase “I saw him in all his glory” can mean seeing a person at his best, at the peak of his life, or it can even mean euphemistically to see a person without any clothing. When we see Jesus in all His glory, it is all the above. Ironically, His glory was in His humiliation hanging naked on a cross as people mocked Him, and spit on Him, and killed Him. The glory of the Lord is that He comes not “to be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

Jesus catechizes His disciples in the way of the cross, revealing that He will be condemned and put to death “and after three days he will rise” (Mark 10:33–34). But the Twelve do not understand. Instead, they argue among themselves about who will be the greatest, with James and John requesting the places of honor on either side of Jesus in His glory. However, Jesus has come to make Himself the “slave of all” and “to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:43–45). He shares the true glory of His cross with all who are baptized with His Baptism and with those who drink His cup of salvation, the New Testament in His blood (Mark 10:39). By these Holy Sacraments, the Lord makes Himself known to all His people, forgiving their sins “from the least of them to the greatest” (Jer. 31:33–34). Though He is the very Son of God, “he learned obedience through what he suffered” and so became our great High Priest, that we may enter His glory by the way of His sacrifice (Heb. 5:8–10).

I don’t know of you have noticed but this Lenten season the Gradual between the Old Testament and the Epistle reading has said this: O come, let us fix our eyes on Jesus.

Seeing but not seeing? Focusing on something in your life, be it something good or something bad, something you have or something you desire, something in the past or something in the future, something right or something wrong, a challenge or a pleasure whatever it is, but focusing on it so much that you’re missing your Savior, Jesus who is with you, caring for you, strengthening you, forgiving you, saving you

The people sinned by speaking “against God and against Moses,” and the Lord called them to repentance by sending fiery serpents, which “bit the people, so that many people of Israel died” (Num. 21:4–6). When the people confessed their sin, the Lord provided a means of rescue from death. He instructed Moses to “make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole,” so that “if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live” (Num. 21:8). Thus God sent His Son into the world, in the likeness of our sin and death, and lifted Him up on the pole of the cross, that whoever looks to Him in faith “may have eternal life” (John 3:14–16). By His cross, “the light has come into the world,” not for condemnation, but “that the world might be saved through Him” (John 3:17–19). While we “were dead in the trespasses and sins” in which we once lived (Eph. 2:1), God loved us, calling us to repentance and raising us up with Christ to live “with Him in the heavenly places” (Eph. 2:4–6).

Jesus is zealous for His house. He is just as zealous for His house today as He was for the Temple. We are His house, made the place where God lives through our baptism into Christ. He comes today to do a little Lenten turning over of the tables in our hearts, and a driving out of the beasts of sin that have settled in and made themselves at home in us. He is zealous about not letting us go our own way; about not letting us stay in our sin and die. He gives the Law, the Ten Commandments, to reveal the stench of our sin in order to cleanse the tainted temples of our hearts. He cuts to heal; He kills to make alive. It is God’s love for us that consumes Jesus with zeal for the Temple because He is consumed with zeal for you.

The Lord rescues His people, Israel, “out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (Ex. 20:2) and makes His gracious covenant with them, defined by the Ten Commandments. Since He has become their God by His grace, they shall be His people, having “no other gods” before Him (Ex. 20:3). He is “jealous” for them as a husband for his wife and as a father for his children. He has named them with His name and called them to rest in Him (Ex. 20:5–9). The incarnate Son, Christ Jesus, is likewise jealous for His Father’s house, because it is to be a place of divine grace and Sabbath rest for His people, and not “a house of trade” (John 2:16–17). His zeal consumes Him as He gives up “the temple of his body” to the destruction of the cross, but in three days He raises it up again to be the true temple forever (John 2:17–21). By His crucifixion He cleanses the entire household, and in His resurrection He becomes “wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption” (1 Cor. 1:30). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Mark 4:1-20. The Parable of the Sower 4 Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3 “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” 9 And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” The Purpose of the Parables 10 And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. 11 And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, 12 so that “‘they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.’” 13 And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word. 15 And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them. 16 And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy. 17 And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.[a] 18 And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20 But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”

In the holy gospel for today Jesus receives John's baptism in the Jordan, He is tempted by Satan in the wilderness and then He preaches His inaugural sermon. Loads of great stuff! In the Jordan River baptism, Jesus, even though He is not a sinner and never sinned, is the Isaiah 53 Suffering Servant who has come to take the sin of the world in his body in order to carry it to the cross and atone for it. No wonder the Father is well pleased with His Son! In addition, because the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand, the Lord Jesus would repent and faith us through His preaching. Repentance and faith! It's the biblical way to live in and from your baptism, this First Sunday in Lent and for the rest of your lives. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

In faith and the fear of God, Abraham prepared to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. At the Word of the Lord, he “took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son.” And “when they came to the place of which God had told him,” Abraham bound Isaac “and laid him on the altar” (Gen. 22:6, 9). Then God stayed Abraham’s hand and provided “for himself the lamb for a burnt offering” (Gen. 22:8). That Lamb is God’s own beloved Son, Jesus, in whom “all the nations of the earth” are blessed (Gen. 22:18). As the Substitute for all the sons of men, Jesus is driven by the Spirit “into the wilderness” to be “tempted by Satan” (Mark 1:12–13) in order to endure and defeat all temptation. We are tempted by our own desire, which conceives and “gives birth to sin” (James 1:14–15). But this blessed Man, Christ Jesus, remained “steadfast under trial,” and He has received “the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him” (James 1:12). His faithfulness, His victory and His life are now given to us by His grace in the Gospel.

In the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus’ appearance changes. He shines with unborrowed light as He becomes utterly and totally transparent regarding His divinity. Jesus is God of God and Light of Light. Moses and Elijah appear with Him on this mountain peak and affirm that He is the Christ who fulfills the law, that He is the One spoken of by the prophets. And God the Father removes any doubt whatsoever when He says, “This is my beloved Son, listen to him.”

The transfiguration displays the glory of the Christ. Often, however, the participation of the saints in His glory gets overlooked in this episode of the Gospel. Their participation in Jesus’ glory has important ramifications for all Christians. For although all glory properly belongs to God alone, He also promises to glorify those who believe. The believers’ reward, for whom faith in Christ is accounted as righteousness, includes beholding the glory of God and seeing His face.
In this way, the faithful will also be glorified. Just as God allows the holy angels to partake in His glory (Luke 2:9; 9:26), so He allows the saints to partake in the same glory. Jesus gives to His disciples the glory that the Father gives Him (John 17:22; 1 Peter 5:1). Just as Jesus’ lowly body under which His divinity was concealed on earth was glorified on the mount of transfiguration, so our lowly bodies on the day of resurrection will be made like His glorious body (Phil. 3:21) Indeed, Christians may look forward with joyful anticipation to the promise of such glory as was manifested in Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration.
And in hope of the fulfillment of this promise, Christians find great consolation and strength to endure the trials of this world: ‘For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison’ (2 Cor. 4:17). At the transfiguration, the Father identifies Jesus as His Son. As adopted sons, we also have cause to rejoice since, like the adopted sons Moses and Elijah, we will live with Him in His glory. ‘ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us’ (Rom. 8:16–18).” - The Rev. Dr. Edward Naumann

After Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law and many other people he said, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” Notice what Jesus does not say, that I came to heal and cast out demons. He says only that I may preach. The miracles and exorcisms get all the attention. Those are the stories we like, and that’s what we want still today.
Healing from our problems and providing for all of our daily needs. We pray for those things all the time, right? And it’s not wrong to pray for those things. Those are good prayers. He wants us, like those people in Capernaum that day, to come to Him with our sicknesses and demons. But He came to do something even greater than heal us of our sickness and diseases. He came to preach the Word, forgive our sins, conquer death and give us eternal life.

God has created all things by the greatness of His might and with the breath of His voice. The Lord is the everlasting God the Creator of the ends of the earth. (Isaiah 40:21-31) He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. Paul was compelled to preach the Gospel so that by all possible means he might save as many as possible. (Corinthians 9:16-27)
Jesus has come to heal the broken-hearted and to bind up the wounded. He is God’s answer to our prayer that we may be given the soundness of mind and body to serve Him with our strength. Jesus, however, is more than a worker of great miracles. He must preach the Good News in many places so that more people might come to faith. (Mark 1:29-39)

Several years ago, one of my teeth, a molar in the back of my mouth broke while I was eating popcorn. My dentist here in Sheboygan referred me to a dentist in Milwaukee who specialized in tooth implants. When I arrived there with my clergy collar on, thinking this appointment would be simply to see what the problem was, this middle eastern doctor says to me, “You holy man. We start today, otherwise you will not be ready for Lent.” Right before he took out the drill to remove my tooth, he took my blood pressure. Then he said this, “calm down holy man!” So, why did he call me a holy man? It wasn’t because he knew me. He just met me. It was because he knew that in my vocation of pastor, I was called and ordained to speak the word of the Holy One of God, Jesus Christ.

As He promised, the Lord our God has raised up “a prophet” like Moses, namely Jesus, our brother in the flesh. “To him you shall listen,” because the Word of the Lord is “in his mouth” (Deut. 18:15–18). Indeed, He is more than a prophet and more than a scribe of the Scriptures; He is the incarnate Word, and He speaks “a new teaching with authority” (Mark 1:22, 27). He enters “the synagogue” of His Church and provides true Sabbath rest, using His authority to silence and cast out “even the unclean spirits” (Mark 1:21–27). By His Word of the cross, He removes the accusations of the Law and of the devil, and He cleanses our consciences before God the Father, “from whom are all things and for whom we exist.” Hence, we are now set free from bondage and commended to God by the one Lord, Jesus Christ, “through whom are all things and through whom we exist” (1 Cor. 8:6). Therefore, use your freedom to care for your brothers and sisters, neither causing them to stumble nor wounding their consciences (1 Cor. 8:9–12), but cleansing and strengthening them with the Gospel.

Jonah was frightened to death. God called him to preach repentance to a city that had no regard for God or the Sanctity of human life. He literally wanted to jump from the ship and die rather than preach in Nineveh. Nineveh was the capital of Assyria, and the Assyrians were some of the most mean, vile, stubborn, and evil people that ever lived. That’s why Jonah didn’t want to go. But God would not let him get out of this call to Nineveh. Even for them Jesus died that they may live. He died for you too. Every life is valuable to God, whether you live in a house or in a womb; whether you’re up and walking around or confined to a wheelchair; whether you are out making a name for yourself or no longer able to remember anyone’s name; whether you’re from Nineveh or the United States. You are valuable to God. You may not be valuable to anyone else, but you are to God. You are worth the life of His Son, who died that you may live. You now bring His life and love to others - speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves, defending the defenseless, proclaiming life. And proclaiming His message of victory over death, His hope in the midst of despair, His love for the vulnerable, His strength for the weak, and His good coming from suffering. God will give you the opportunities. He will work through you. Follow me, He simply says, and He will do the rest.

When “the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time,” sending him to preach judgment against the great city of Nineveh, “Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord” (Jonah 3:3). By this preaching, the people were brought to repentance. Because they “believed God,” as He spoke to them through His prophet, “they turned from their evil way” and were spared “the disaster that He had said He would do to them” (Jonah 3:5, 10). St. Paul also warns that “the appointed time has grown very short” (1 Cor. 7:29). Therefore, while we live in this world and deal with it, we are not to cling to it, nor put our trust in it, for “the present form of this world is passing away” (1 Cor. 7:31). Rather, give “your undivided devotion to the Lord” (1 Cor. 7:35). When our Lord Jesus Christ comes and is proclaimed in the Gospel, “the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand” (Mark 1:14–15). Therefore, He still calls men and sends them to become “fishers of men” with the net of that Gospel (Mark 1:17).

A parent asks a child who has done something wrong, “Why did you do that? Often, the child will answer, “I don’t know.” This is often the case because a child, like the rest of us, is predisposed to sinning. It’s our “go to” way of doing things since the fall. We don’t even think about it, and we don’t know why we do what we do because we don’t fully understand how impoverished we are as fallen human beings. Likewise, because through sin we are disconnected from God, the identity of our Lord is unknown to us as well. It’s why when, “He came to His own, His own did not receive Him” (John 1:11). So to cope with our ignorance and depravity, all we can do is make up fictional stories about ourselves and God not realizing or simply denying the scope of our incomprehension and corruption. Today in contrast to all of that, we hear that Jesus knows and sees things about Nathaniel that, as a mere human being, He couldn’t possibly know. He couldn’t know these things unless He was the Son of God. Nathaniel reveals just that, that Jesus is the Son of God, God Himself in the flesh, the second person of the Holy Trinity who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So, while you don’t know and I don’t know, Jesus does. How? Jesus is Lord. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

A parent asks a child who has done something wrong, “Why did you do that? Often, the child will answer, “I don’t know.” This is often the case because a child, like the rest of us, is predisposed to sinning. It’s our “go to” way of doing things since the fall. We don’t even think about it, and we don’t know why we do what we do because we don’t fully understand how impoverished we are as fallen human beings. Likewise, because through sin we are disconnected from God, the identity of our Lord is unknown to us as well. It’s why when, “He came to His own, His own did not receive Him” (John 1:11). So to cope with our ignorance and depravity, all we can do is make up fictional stories about ourselves and God not realizing or simply denying the scope of our incomprehension and corruption. Today in contrast to all of that, we hear that Jesus knows and sees things about Nathaniel that, as a mere human being, He couldn’t possibly know. He couldn’t know these things unless He was the Son of God. Nathaniel reveals just that, that Jesus is the Son of God, God Himself in the flesh, the second person of the Holy Trinity who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So, while you don’t know and I don’t know, Jesus does. How? Jesus is Lord. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Baptism is the beginning of the new creation personally applied to you. That’s what the apostle Paul is teaching us today in Romans. Just as Jesus joined Himself to us and our sin in His baptism, so now you are joined to Jesus and His righteousness in your baptism. For in baptism, Paul says, you are joined to Jesus in His death and resurrection so that not you, but the chaos, disorder, and death of sin be wiped out in you, and you live a new life. Through baptism, you are a new creation in Christ Jesus. Baptism is the beginning of the Gospel for you. This is the greater baptism of which John spoke. The baptism where water, Word, and Spirit create new life, where sins are wiped out, heaven is opened, and children of men are made children of God, to whom the Father now says: You are my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). Then, as “the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” (Gen. 1:2), God spoke His Word: “‘Let there be light,’ and there was light” (Gen. 1:3). In the same way “the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ” (Mark 1:1) brings about the New Creation through the waters of Baptism by the same Word and Spirit of God. When John the Baptist came, “proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,” Jesus also came “and was baptized by John in the Jordan” (Mark 1:4, 9). Although He had no sins of His own, He took His stand with sinners in His Baptism and took the sins and mortality of the world upon Himself. He was baptized into His own death, by which the heavens are opened and the Spirit is given to us. God the Father is well-pleased with His beloved Son and raises Him from the dead. As we share His Baptism and are “united with Him in a death like His” (Rom. 6:5), we also share His resurrection unto “newness of life” (Rom. 6:4). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

In my childhood memories of opening Christmas presents there are two presents that stand out for me. Each was “the present” for that particular year. One year it was a Schwinn Sting Ray bicycle. It was blue with a white banana seat. I rejoiced greatly the minute I saw it. The other year it was Rossignol skis. As I received that great gift I echoed the Rossignol motto, “It takes a Rossi to catch a Rossi.” While each gift had a tremendous upside, there was also a downside for both. I suffered road rash on my forehead after going airborne on my Sting Ray bicycle on the homemade ramp my buddy Huey and I made, and the ski patrol with his own Rossignol skies caught me skiing straight down the mountain and threatened to pull my lift ticket. There is no such downside with the present Simeon held in his arms. The present of Jesus sent by God the Father and delivered by God the Holy Spirit brings peace and joy. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

“When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son,” born of the woman, “to redeem those who were under the law” (Gal. 4:4–5). Therefore, “according to the Law of Moses,” Mary and Joseph “brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord” (Luke 2:22). There He was received and taken up into the arms of Simeon, who was righteous and devout, “waiting for the consolation of Israel” (Luke 2:25). Simeon praised God and blessed the parents by confessing the cross for which this child was appointed. “At that very hour,” old and faithful Anna, who had watched, prayed, and worshiped in the temple for so long, came up and “began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem” (Luke 2:38). The Lord causes “righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations” (Is. 61:11). We also “greatly rejoice in the LORD,” because this child has clothed us “with the garments of salvation,” covered us “with the robe of righteousness” and called us “by a new name” (Is. 61:10; 62:2).

Let us with the shepherds approach the manger of Christ, that is, the Church, and let us come upon this infant wrapped in bandages, that is, in the Sacred Scriptures. Let us also ponder with Mary words of such great mystery, the holy mother of the Lord, and let us continually and daily reflect on this in remembrance. Let us continue the singing of the angels with our own voices and let us give thanks for his merits on account of their great benefit. Let us sing joyfully and cheer with the heavenly host. If indeed the angels rejoice to such a degree for our cause, how much more ought we, for whom this infant is born and given, rejoice (Isaiah 9:6)? If the Israelites raised voices and shouts of joy when the Ark of the Covenant was brought to them (1 Samuel 4:5), which was a figure and shadow of the incarnation of the Lord, how much more ought we be joyful since the Lord himself descended to assume our flesh? If Abraham was glad when he saw the day of the Lord and prepared for the time when the Lord himself would assume human form, what ought we do when our nature has been joined with him in an indissoluble and perpetual covenant? Let us marvel at this immense kindness of God who, when we were not able to ascend to him, chose to descend to us. Let us look in wonder at the immense power of God who was able to make one most intimate union out of two most distant things, namely, the divine and human nature, so that now man and God may also likewise be one. Let us wonder at the wisdom of God who was able to find a way for our redemption when neither angels nor men were able to see a way. The offense was infinitely great, requiring an infinitely great satisfaction. Man offended God. From man satisfaction was required. But man was able neither to furnish an infinite satisfaction nor to satisfy divine righteousness without an infinite ransom. Therefore, God was made man in order to make satisfaction for those who had sinned and to pay an infinite ransom to him who was infinite. Let us marvel at this wonderful plan of righteousness and mercy from the divine, which no creature was able to discover before God manifested Himself, and now after he has been made manifest, no creature is fully able to comprehend. Marvel thus, and do not probe more curiously. We may desire to look into it, although we cannot understand it all.

Today we hear one of the world’s best-known stories: An angel comes to Mary with an unbelievable message from God. She will be the mother of His son. At first, Mary is reluctant to believe the Word of God, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” God always comes to his people with hard to believe words and messages. This plain water, combined with God’s Word in baptism, works forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation.” The absolution, spoken from the mouth of a common, ordinary man, gives to us exactly what it says: forgiveness of sins. This bit of bread and sip of wine are the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. More than that, they give us forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. It is hard to believe that such meager looking means could do such high and wonderful things. We respond with the same word as Mary, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

“Behold, your king comes to you.” He comes to you in ways the world will see as powerless and unimpressive. Jesus made his advent on a donkey. It was the ride of a slave. Jesus entered Jerusalem in humility for the same reason He was born in all humility. He came to serve, not to be served. He came to give His life as a ransom for the many. Jesus still comes to you in the way of the donkey, in lowliness and humility. He still comes to you to take from you your sin, your death, your hell, and to give to you His own righteousness. That’s why, even to this day, the Church has never stopped crying out to Him: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” So, if Christ’s Church is to be about donkey business, then we have no time for monkey business. “Behold your King!” Behold means close your eyes and open your ears. Christ confronts and challenges what your eyes want to see. You want an impressive God who dazzles you with flash and fireworks. But Jesus says, “No!” He says, “I will only come to you in the way of the donkey.” Jesus says, “Walk by faith and not by sight!” For faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). And what does faith delight in and behold? It sees our King who still comes to us in the way of the donkey. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

When he preaches repentance, John the Baptist points us to Christ Jesus. John was sent by God “as a witness, to bear witness about the Light, that all might believe through him” (John 1:7). He baptizes with water in order to “make straight the way of the Lord,” who shall redeem His people from their sins (John 1:23). That Lord Jesus “who comes after” John now stands among us and makes Himself known to us (John 1:26–27). He has been anointed by the Holy Spirit “to bring good news to the poor” and “to bind up the brokenhearted” (Is. 61:1). By the washing of the water with His Word and Spirit, He clothes His Church with “the garments of salvation” and adorns her with His own righteousness “as a bride adorns herself with her jewels” (Is. 61:10). Therefore, we “rejoice always” in the Lord, “pray without ceasing,” and “give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thess. 5:16–18). For “the God of peace,” who has called you by the Gospel, will surely “sanctify you completely,” so that “your whole spirit and soul and body” will “be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thess. 5:23–24). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The human voice carries so much information about people’s identities that one can recognize the voice of a friend or loved one after hearing just two words. This morning there is a similar voice recognition when it comes to John the Baptist. His voice is recognized by the mere prophesy attached to it. He is “the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’” ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

“Behold, your king comes to you.” He comes to you in ways the world will see as powerless and unimpressive. Jesus made his advent on a donkey. It was the ride of a slave. Jesus entered Jerusalem in humility for the same reason He was born in all humility. He came to serve, not to be served. He came to give His life as a ransom for the many. Jesus still comes to you in the way of the donkey, in lowliness and humility. He still comes to you to take from you your sin, your death, your hell, and to give to you His own righteousness. That’s why, even to this day, the Church has never stopped crying out to Him: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” So, if Christ’s Church is to be about donkey business, then we have no time for monkey business. “Behold your King!” Behold means close your eyes and open your ears. Christ confronts and challenges what your eyes want to see. You want an impressive God who dazzles you with flash and fireworks. But Jesus says, “No!” He says, “I will only come to you in the way of the donkey.” Jesus says, “Walk by faith and not by sight!” For faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). And what does faith delight in and behold? It sees our King who still comes to us in the way of the donkey. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Isaiah 64:1-9 - The prophet Isaiah cries out for the Lord to come down from heaven and break into our world with His awesome righteousness and salvation. He confesses his sins and the sins of his people. Before the Lord “we have all become like an unclean thing” and “we all fade like a leaf” but we, with Isaiah, pray that the Lord would not become angry with us or remember our sin. 1 Corinthians 1:3-9 - Paul confesses the faithfulness of the Lord who will sustain us until His Second Coming. Christ Jesus has given us every spiritual gift in His Gospel and Sacraments so that we might be sustained in His forgiveness to the end. Mark 11:1-10- Advent begins with Palm Sunday and the Passover prayer from Psalm 118: “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” This prayer announces the coming of the true Passover Lamb, the true Son of David, and the one the prophets had long foretold. The coming of Jesus clearly announces Him as Savior—Savior of all people, Savior of all sinners who could not save themselves. More than anything else, Jesus, who is the Son of God and the promised Messiah, is the Savior of the world. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Is God right-handed or left-handed? Perhaps you think that a silly question. But I ask that question in all seriousness because our readings today teach us that the answer is: both. Theology calls the civil government and authorities, as talked about in Romans today, as the kingdom of God’s left-hand, and the Church, as we hard in the reading from Matthew, as the kingdom of God’s right-hand. Both are His. He exercises rule and authority in both, and He blesses us in both - just in different ways. The kingdom of the left, the civil government and authorities, rule and bless by the Law. They exist to protect us and punish evildoers. They exist to restrain sin by enforcing the Law, so that there is not anarchy and chaos and we can live in order and peace. Now, they don’t do it perfectly. They are sinners too. But murderers and thieves and the like are still brought to justice, we turn to the police and the courts when we have been wronged or are in need of protection, and we are punished when we break the Law. And this is a great blessing from God and how He is mercifully restraining the sin and evil that seeks to tear our world - and us - apart. The kingdom of the right, the Church, is concerned about sin too, but in a much different way. For it is not by Law and punishment and coercion that the Church is ruled, but by grace and forgiveness. The Church calls sinners not to justice, but to repentance; she exercises not vengeance but love; and she does not punish but forgives. You could say that the government deals with sin from the outside in, but the Church deals with sin from the inside out. God restraining sin by healing our hearts and minds with the medicine of His Word and Sacraments. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

True greatness is not self-sufficient strength, but humility like that of a little child. The greatness of childlike faith receives all good things as gracious gifts from our Father in heaven. Apart from such faith, “you will never enter the kingdom of heaven,” but whoever is humbled like a little child will be “the greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 18:3–4). Though in our sin we deserve to be “drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matt. 18:6), we have instead been drowned (“buried”) with Christ in Baptism and then raised to the new, humble life of a child of God. The Lord sends His watchman to warn us with a word from His mouth, in order that we may not die in our iniquity but be turned from our pride and selfishness to live (Ezek. 33:7–9). Thus, we live in humility and faith before God as well as in love for our neighbor, which “is the fulfilling of the law” (Rom. 13:10). In the reverent fear of God, we do no harm to our neighbor, but we “pay to all what is owed to them” (Rom. 13:7) and we “owe no one anything, except to love each other” (Rom. 13:8). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

On this Labor Day weekend, our country takes time out to honor the work and vocations that we have been given in our lives. With that in mind I’d like you to think of the Lord’s Labor Day i.e. His Labor Day of creating us, His Labor Day of redeeming us at the cross, His Labor Day of sending His Holy Spirit, His Labor Day of serving us with His gifts of forgiveness, life, and peace in His Service this morning, and His Labor Day of judging the living and the dead on the last day. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

After St. Peter confessed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, our Lord “began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised” (Matt. 16:21). Upon hearing this “theology of the cross,” Simon Peter stumbled into a satanic “theology of glory.” But the glory of God is revealed in the Passion and cross of His incarnate Son. The faithful prophets, such as Jeremiah, suffered persecution and rejection in anticipation of Jesus’ cross. Yet the Lord did not abandon them; He remembered them, and He was with them to deliver them (Jer. 15:15–20). By His cross, Jesus has redeemed the world, and in His resurrection, He has vindicated all who trust in Him. Thus, the Christian life is a discipleship of self-sacrificing love. Since Christ Jesus has reconciled us to God, we “live peaceably with all” (Rom. 12:18). By the certainty of His cross and resurrection, we “rejoice in hope,” and we are “patient in tribulation” and “constant in prayer” (Rom. 12:12).

Imagine, having the key that locks heaven’s door and another key to unlock heaven’s door. In the text Jesus promises to give the keys to Peter of all people! Would you? Jesus does! Not to make him bishop or pope, but to make him a preacher, confessor, absolver, and servant. “The things you bind [lock] on earth shall be bound in heaven. The things you loose [unlock] on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” You don’t have to search for the keys to heaven like some misplaced set of house or car keys stuck in a forgotten pants pocket or drawer. You don’t need to ask: “Now where did God put those keys?” The keys of heaven are found right smack in here in this congregation, even as few as two or three gathered in the Name of Jesus. The church even has an “office of the keys,” the office of the holy ministry, where the keys are always at work for certain so that you might know and be certain that heaven is open to you who repent of your sin and believe in Jesus for forgiveness. The keys of heaven belong to Jesus, to whom “all authority in heaven and on earth” has been given. They do what He did for all on the cross – binding sin, Satan, death, and hell, loosing sinners from their guilt and shame, freeing them to be the children of God, swinging wide the gates of salvation. In every Baptism, every word of absolution, every proclamation of Jesus, every communion in which you eat and drink Christ’s Body and the Blood, the keys of heaven are turning – binding and loosing, opening heaven to faith, shutting it to unbelief. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Jesus asked His disciples: “But who do you say that I am?” (Matt. 16:15). The question is also put to us: Who do you say that He is? Flesh and blood do not reveal this to us, but by the ministry of the Gospel the Father in heaven reveals His Son to us on earth, who has become flesh and suffered death for our salvation. Thus we believe and confess that He is “the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matt 16:16). As He died for our transgressions and was raised for our justification, He looses us from all our sins and preserves our life within His Church, against which even “the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Matt. 16:18–19). His salvation is forever, and His righteousness “will never be dismayed” (Is. 51:6). He comforts us with the Gospel in His Church, so that “joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song” (Is. 51:3). Therefore, “according to the measure of faith that God has assigned” (Rom. 12:3), we also offer ourselves “as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God” (Rom. 12:1) through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

One of the fascinating aspects about our text for today is that a Canaanite woman gets what the disciples don’t, that Jesus will always do what He has promised. While the disciples act in a self-serving way wanting her sent away because they were annoyed by her persistent cries to them for help, she is vigilant in seeking help for her daughter. She gets that Jesus is the Christ, having referred to Him as the Son of David. She gets that Jesus has come to set us free from sin, death, and the power of the devil. She gets that even though Jesus was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, that she and her daughter would become His sheep by faith. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

By her persistent prayer that Jesus would have mercy and help her (Matt. 15:22, 24), and even in the face of His initial silence and apparent rejection (Matt. 15:23–26), the Canaanite woman boldly confessed her faith in Him (Matt. 15:27– 28). Her beautiful example encourages us to cling to the words and promises of the Gospel, even in the face of the Law that accuses and condemns us. “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Rom. 11:29), and His Law “has consigned all to disobedience” for the very purpose “that he may have mercy on all” (Rom. 11:32). Hence, the woman’s faith and hope were not disappointed, but her prayers were answered in the mercy of Christ. Not only does He grant us the crumbs from His table, but He also feeds us with “the children’s bread” in the house of His Father (Matt. 15:26–27). He has brought us to His “holy mountain,” and He makes us joyful in His house, where He hears our prayers and accepts our sacrifice of praise upon the altar of His cross (Is. 56:7). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The Lord who “laid the foundation of the earth” (Job 38:4) is the Author and Giver of life who governs all things by His Word. His wisdom and power are beyond our understanding, except as He reveals Himself in the incarnate Word, Christ Jesus. He has “entered into the springs of the sea” and “walked in the recesses of the deep” (Job 38:16), and He draws near to us in mercy. We have been “a long way from the land, beaten by the waves” and tossed about by hostile winds (Matt. 14:24). In our mortality and sinful unbelief, we do not always recognize the Lord Jesus. But as we cry out in fear, He speaks tenderly to us, “Do not be afraid,” and He reaches out His hand to save us (Matt. 14:27, 31). “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom. 10:13), and now we call upon Him in faith, because we have heard “through the word of Christ” (Rom. 10:17). “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (Rom. 10:8). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

By feeding the 5000 Jesus shows the miracle of living in a world with more than enough. When he takes broken things and makes them whole. When Jesus comes ashore there are thousands of broken people. People who need compassion and healing. People who aren’t enough. Jesus makes them whole with the broken pieces of bread and fish. Jesus sees each of us and says - you are enough! Just like he saw those 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. He looked at them and said, “Yup that is enough!’ And it is not just enough but more than enough. Jesus does this because through His death and resurrection there is more than enough love and life to go around. Nothing can stop him from loving you! There is more than enough love to go around.

By the Gospel of “the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever” (Rom. 9:5), we are “the children of God” (Rom. 9:8), “not because of works but because of him who calls” (Rom. 9:11). Therefore, “listen diligently” and “hear, that your soul may live.” By His sacrificial death in His flesh and blood, He has made “an everlasting covenant” for us. Since He now calls us to Himself, we come to Him “and eat what is good, and delight … in rich food” (Is. 55:2–3). He has come with divine compassion to save us from sin and death and to feed us with Himself. As our Lord Jesus once took bread, “said a blessing,” broke the loaves, “and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds” (Matt. 14:18–19), He also now takes bread, blesses it by His Word to be His very body, and distributes it to His Church by the hand of His called and ordained servants. Just as “they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces,” there is more than enough for His whole Church to eat and to be satisfied (Matt. 14:20).
You have heard how Jesus left the ninety-nine to go after one sheep who was lost. Today you hear how He buys an entire field to get one treasure, how He sells everything to get one, single, solitary pearl, and how at the end He sends His angels to sort through a net full of fish. Who’s He looking for? He’s looking for you.

A sculptor was once asked how he managed to take a block of stone and create beautiful pieces of art - something I certainly could never do! He said: Well, I don’t. I just cut off all that doesn’t belong, that isn’t part of the finished piece. He sees what cannot be seen by others. That’s how it is with God. We may want to rush in and start hacking away at the stone, start pulling the weeds, start doing what we think - but all we’re going to end up with is a mess. We just don’t know. We just can’t see as God sees. So our Father in heaven says, be patient. Live with the weeds for a while, because you can’t really tell the weeds and wheat apart anyway. The time will come for the harvest, and then the separation will take place, then you’ll see. But not before then. Now is the time of patience and mercy, and yes, struggle. But in the midst of the struggle, a promise - from God through the apostle Paul: the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. Right now, Paul says, are the labor pains. It’s tough. It’s probably good that none of us remember that struggle of being born! But your delivery is coming. Your new life is coming. A new world, a new creation is coming, that you cannot even begin to imagine! So be patient right now, but in hope, in faith in God, and so also in love toward your neighbor. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The good Seed, which is “the Son of Man,” Jesus Himself (Matt. 13:37), brings forth a harvest of faith and bears good fruits in “the sons of the kingdom” (Matt. 13:38). Whatever is sown apart from His Word is of the devil, who plants the weeds of unbelief and sin, even among the people of God. Thankfully, the Lord is patient, and He does not uproot the weeds, lest the plants also be destroyed. He lets “both grow together until the harvest” (Matt. 13:30) while He continues to preach repentance and forgiveness of sins. Thus, He preserves His Church in righteousness, because He alone is “the King of Israel and his Redeemer” (Is. 44:6). Since all things are in His gracious care and keeping, “fear not, nor be afraid” (Is. 44:8). For “the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God” (Rom. 8:19), and in this hope we also wait with patience. Though we do not yet see it, “the Spirit helps us in our weakness” (Rom. 8:26) and, in truth, “the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Rom. 8:18). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Pastor Bill Cwirla writes, “Soil is made out of dead stuff.” I must admit that I never thought about it that way, but it makes sense when thinking about Jesus’ parable for today. The only good soil is dead soil. Think about a compost pile. Yard waste and kitchen scraps decompose into organic matter, and a pile of dead things becomes a place where life thrives. The apostle Paul writes in our epistle lesson for today, “If you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” Pastor Cwirla continues, “Sinners, children of Adam steeped in Adam’s sinful condition, cannot make themselves receptive to the saving Word of Jesus. They will not let Him in no matter how many times He knocks. We do not naturally and willingly repent. We must be driven to it. The rototiller of God’s law must plow us under. We need to be broken, turned six feet under, crushed if the Word of Jesus is going to be fruitful in us.” So that is what God does. He kills to make alive. His life is planted in death. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

As “the rain and the snow come down from heaven” and “water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout” (Is. 55:10), so the Word of God accomplishes the purpose for which He speaks it, granting joy and peace through the forgiveness of sins and producing the fruits of faith and love in those who are called by His name. Christ Jesus, the incarnate Word, has established the name of the Lord as “an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off” (Is. 55:13). He opens our ears to hear, our minds to understand and our hearts to believe His Word, lest the evil one come and snatch it away. He thus transforms our rocky hearts into good soil, which clings to the Gospel and “indeed bears fruit” (Matt. 13:23). He is Himself the firstfruits of all who “have received the Spirit of adoption as sons” (Rom. 8:15). Thus being “led by the Spirit of God,” we are not afraid, but we cry out in faith to our Father in heaven (Rom. 8:14–15). For as we suffer with Christ, the beloved Son, so shall we “also be glorified with him” (Rom. 8:17). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The phrase, “you got this” is another way of saying, “you can do this!” It’s a way of encouraging someone by letting them know that you believe they can do something. For example saying, “you can do the physical therapy, or pass that exam, you got this!” Yet, as we all know there are things in life that we’re not able to do like, for example, living the perfect life or overcoming our sin and death. When Jesus says, “Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” He’s letting us know that He’s got this! ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Though we have died with Christ in Holy Baptism, and we are raised to new life in Him, we find “another law waging war” in our body and life, that is, between our old Adam and the new man (Rom. 7:23). By the Spirit of Christ, we “desire to do what is right,” but we are not able to do so because “nothing good” dwells in our sinful flesh (Rom. 7:18). “Thanks be to God,” therefore, “through Jesus Christ our Lord,” who delivers us from “this body of death” (Rom. 7:24–25). We rejoice in Him, our gentle King, who comes “righteous and having salvation” (Zech. 9:9). He speaks peace to our embattled hearts, and by His blood of the New Testament He sets us “free from the waterless pit,” and He returns us to the stronghold of our Baptism (Zech. 9:10–12). Though we “labor and are heavy laden,” He calls us to Himself and gives rest to our souls through His free and full forgiveness (Matt. 11:28), not because we are “wise and understanding,” but by the “gracious will” of God the Father, whom “the Son chooses to reveal” in love (Matt. 11:25–27). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

You remember long ago when Jesus made the world. He made the world perfectly in love. But with our sin we wrecked it and ever since in our pride, we have been praising ourselves and our wrecked world as being absolutely brilliant and beautiful. But today in this Gospel Jesus disagrees. Jesus wants His world back and He wants all His children home again. It really is that simple! So, it is absolutely fabulous that Jesus does not make peace with the world as it is. Jesus does not make peace with our sins. Instead, Jesus comes to slay our sins and resurrect us. Jesus come to change a world that desperately needs to be changed. It really is that simple. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

False prophets preach what their hearers want to hear, promising peace even when the Lord has spoken “war, famine, and pestilence” (Jer. 28:8). But if “the LORD has truly sent the prophet,” he speaks what the Lord has spoken, and “the word of that prophet comes to pass” (Jer. 28:9). The preaching of God’s Law is hard, because it confronts sin, brings it to light and makes it worse, “sinful beyond measure,” thereby “producing death” in the sinner (Rom. 7:13).
But through our Baptism into Christ, “we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive” (Rom. 7:6). Now we belong “to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God” (Rom. 7:4). Belonging to Him puts us at odds with the world and divides us from all earthly ties, not only from our human family, but each person from his own life. For Christ does not come “to bring peace, but a sword” (Matt. 10:34). Yet, whoever takes up his cross to follow Christ, and “loses his life” for Christ’s sake, finds new life in Him (Matt. 10:38–39).

Who doesn’t remember the iconic line, “You can’t handle the truth,” from the movie “A Few Good Men?” The line in the original script was, “you already have the truth.” But Jack Nicholson improvised a little and made movie history. “You can’t handle the truth!” The truth is that you sin, and the wages of sin is death. You can’t handle that. Maybe that’s why you, like me, deny, minimize, or blame others for your sin. Why you try to ignore the unpleasant realities of life and act like nothing is wrong. Why you prefer life in a virtual world instead of the real one. “You can’t handle the truth!” Left to yourself that’s the fact of the matter. That’s the bad news. But the good news is this: you are not left to yourself. God is with you in Christ and He has promised that “everyone who [confesses] me before men, I also will [confess] before my Father who is in heaven.” In other words, Jesus has taken care of it. He handled it. Jesus handled the truth of the world’s sin and death, took it into Himself, suffered for it, and triumphed over it in His death and resurrection. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The outcome of sin is death, “but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 6:23). He has set you free from the slavery of sin and has brought you “from death to life” (Rom. 6:13). No longer are you under the condemnation of the Law, but you live “under grace” (Rom. 6:14). Such is your courage in the face of “those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul” (Matt. 10:28). For though “you will be hated by all” and maligned by the world for the name of Christ (Matt. 10:22, 25), you abide in the care of your Father in heaven, who numbers “even the hairs of your head” and values you more “than many sparrows” (Matt. 10:30–31). By the Word of Christ, you have become like Him, your Teacher and Master in whom you endure to the end, and “will be saved” (Matt. 10:22, 25). For He is with you “as a dread warrior,” who has overcome your enemies (Jer. 20:11).

God doesn't will that we sinners approach Him through the Law, through His all- powerful working in the world, through our sinfulness or our tragedies. God wills that we approach Him always and only in Christ. Lutherans don't try to approach God in His majesty, in the tragedies of life or in our failed plans and shattered dreams. We let God be God and go to where God points us. And where does God point us? Paul tells us Romans, "God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Right before that Paul says, "When we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly." Christ, His innocent life and His painful suffering and death, is God's answer to His own unbending Law. God could not tone down His Law. God could not take it back for then He would cease to be God. God promised that the soul that sins will die. He promised that no sinner of any kind could inherit the kingdom of heaven. God couldn't break those promises of the Law any more than He could break the promises of the Gospel without ceasing to be holy. God fulfilled the Law through the perfect life of Christ and God punished every one of our sins by whipping, beating, and crucifying Christ in our place. Christ was the innocent sacrificial lamb for all of us very guilty sheep. Therefore, we don't plead our excuses or our promises to do better against the Law. We plead the holy life of Christ and His holy Blood. We plead our Baptism which covers us with Christ. We plead the absolution which sends our sins away from us, in Christ's name, as far as east is from west. We plead Holy Communion where we eat the holy Body of Christ and drink His holy Blood. With these in us, we go where He goes. We inherit His inheritance. This is our heavenly Father’s love for us. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The Holy Triune God “shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners,” ungodly and at enmity with Him, “Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). The incarnate Son has justified us by His blood and reconciled us to His God and Father (Rom. 5:9–10). Whereas sin and death originated with Adam, forgiveness and life abound for all his children through “that one man Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5:12–17). As the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, so does He bring us to Himself by the Gospel and make of us “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Ex. 19:6) by our Baptism into Christ. For “all that the LORD has spoken” (Ex. 19:8), Christ has done for us. As He has gone up to God by His cross and resurrection, so does He bring us to the Father in Himself (Ex. 19:3–4). Nor does He leave us “harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matt. 9:36), but He sends men with authority “to heal every disease and every affliction” by His forgiveness of sins (Matt. 10:1).

We’ve all heard of an area advertising campaign over the years revolving around the phrase, “One call…that’s all!” The message is that one call to this law firm means that your troubles are over. One call… that’s all! In our text for today, it’s not the party in need making the call, but it’s the One who has it all. Jesus calls Matthew to follow Him as He leads him out of the shady business of a fallen world and into the place of His healing, forgiveness, goodness, life, and peace. He does the same for us. For you see, Matthew’s house filled with sinners is also known as the “church” (that’s what it is because Jesus is there), this “church” is a little picture of our church. Jesus is here in this house to be with us sinners and to feed us with His very body and blood. He is here to call us to repentance and to receive His forgiveness. He is here to raise us with His life-giving Word, that we stop living our old life, and follow Him in a new life, a life of discipleship. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

: In calling Matthew the tax collector to follow Him, Jesus demonstrates that He has come “not to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matt. 9:9, 13). As a good physician, He comes not to confirm them in their sins, but to heal them with His grace, calling them to repentance, faith and newness of life (Matt. 9:12). He puts them to death by the preaching of His Law, in order to raise them with His Gospel, to live before Him in the righteousness of His resurrection (Hos. 6:1–2, 5). It is in this way that God “gives life to the dead,” that is, through faith in Jesus, “who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification” (Rom. 4:17, 24–25). Thus, sinners from all nations are called to share the same faith as Abraham, the father of all who trust in Jesus (Rom. 4:16–18). And as our Lord in mercy thus welcomes us poor sinners to recline at the table in His house, so does He “desire steadfast love and not sacrifice” (Matt. 9:10, 13; Hos. 6:6), that we should have mercy on our neighbors and forgive their sins against us for Jesus’ sake. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

At times it seems as though the Church seems a bit out of step with the rest of the world and sometimes just a bit weird. In fact, we are rapidly moving to a time when many even hate the Christian Church. Having a Sunday to contemplate the mystery of the Holy Trinity seems to be a bit disconnected with our culture. But maybe exactly what we need to ponder the holy mystery of the Holy Trinity. The truth is the world and the culture do not set the agenda for the Church. Or at least, they shouldn’t. But we also don’t want to be tone deaf to what is happening in the world and ignore it. The Church shouldn’t fiddle around with adopting the world’s agenda. We must respond to what is going on, but not based on how we feel about it, or how the world feels about it, or how they want us to feel about it, but on the basis of the truth of what God has said in His holy Word. That is what we as the Church have to say to the world. That is what we must say if we as the Church are being true to who we are. “To the world it is inexplicable that the church lives on, always preaching the same old thing. In fact, it is because the same old thing goes on being preached, the apostle’s doctrine, that the church goes on living. Because the apostle’s doctrine is the everlasting Word of God to all people, to all nations, to all times. This is what we must teach and preach.” (Herman Sasse) ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The holy Triune God “created the heavens and the earth,” and “behold, it was very good” (Gen. 1:1, 31). However, after Adam and Eve fell into sin and plunged God’s good creation into decay and death, the Son of God would be “delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God” to be “crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men” (Acts 2:23). As Jesus “received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:33), He also raises up all the baptized and pours out the Spirit upon them through the preaching of His Gospel. He sends out His apostles to “make disciples of all nations” by “baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” and “teaching them to observe all that [He has] commanded” (Matt. 28:19–20). Through such baptizing and teaching — Gospel and Sacraments — the holy Triune God recreates us in the image and likeness of His incarnate Son, Jesus, the Christ, and behold, it is “very good” (Gen. 1:31). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

A natural spring is found where water pressure causes a natural flow of groundwater onto the earth's surface. The water that Jesus speaks of comes to us by way of His Spirit at work through our Lord’s words, and gives eternal life. The spiritual “rivers of living water” (John 7:38) from God flow down to us from the side of Jesus, who is at the right hand of God, and they spring up in the church.
For where the Spirit is, there is Christ, and there is the church. In the bubbling waters of the font of Holy Baptism, the Spirit opened heaven to you and God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit made His home with you. It is why believers are channels of this living water to others. For Jesus, speaking of the Spirit said, “Whoever believes in me, as the Scriptures has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”

The Lord took “some of the Spirit” that was on Moses “and put it on the seventy elders” of Israel (Num. 11:25), and they “prophesied in the camp” (Num. 11:26). In the same way, our risen Lord Jesus poured out His Holy Spirit at the Feast of Pentecost — the 50th day and the “Eighth Sunday” of Easter. When “a sound like a mighty rushing wind” and “tongues as of fire appeared” and rested on each of the 12 apostles, “they were all filled with the Holy Spirit” and proclaimed “the mighty works of God” (Acts 2:2–4, 11). The Lord Jesus grants this same Spirit to His Church on earth to proclaim Him glorified on the cross and risen victorious from the grave for us sinners. From His open heart, our crucified and risen Lord pours out His Holy Spirit in “rivers of living water” (John 7:38) and invites everyone who thirsts to come to Him and drink freely (John 7:37). Through this life-giving work of the Holy Spirit, we hear our pastors “telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God” (Acts 2:11), and “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

On the night when He was betrayed, our Lord Jesus prayed for His apostles and His Church on earth. “The hour” had come when the Father would glorify His Son by the cross (John 17:1). Through the shedding of His blood, He would bring forgiveness for the sins of the world, and in His resurrection and ascension He would unite all Christians with the Father “that they may be one” with God (John 17:11). He manifested His name to the apostles and gave them the words of the Father to speak in His name. The apostolic witness of His cross and resurrection (Acts 1:21–22) gathers disciples together “with one accord” into the one Body of Christ (Acts 1:14). “Devoting themselves to prayer,” they wait upon the Lord in “the upper room” (Acts 1:13–14), the place of His Holy Supper. Strengthened by the Gospel, Christians bear the cross of Christ in patience and peace, rejoicing to share in His suffering, in order that they “may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed” (1 Peter 4:13). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

I don’t know if there is a sadder thing to see in our world than an orphan - a child left without a father and mother to care for and to love him. Orphans aren’t as visible in our country today as years ago, because we don’t have institutions called “orphanages” anymore. But they’re still around. Tornadoes and floods, car accidents, crime, the AIDS epidemic in Africa, all leave behind orphans. Yet perhaps saddest of all are the children who are orphaned simply because their parents didn’t want them. You are no orphan! No, you are dearly loved by God our heavenly Father. Don’t let the devil, the world or your own sinful nature deceive you or mislead you into despair, but fill your ears with Jesus’ Word, your mouths with His food, your hearts with His love, and your lives with His forgiveness. Truly He is coming to you and sending you His Spirit. You are no orphan. He is here, for you! ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

“The God who gives to all mankind life and breath and everything” (Acts 17:24–25) wants all people to seek Him “that they might feel their way toward him and find him” (Acts 17:27). But in our sinful ignorance we humans turn instead to idols “formed by the art and imagination of man” (Acts 17:29). Therefore, God appointed the Man of Righteousness, Jesus Christ, and “has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead” (Acts 17:31). Because He lives, we also live (John 14:19) in His forgiveness, and thus we love Him and keep His commandments (John 14:15). While the risen Lord prepares us for His Ascension, He will not leave us “as orphans” (John 14:18), but gives “another Helper,” the Holy Spirit, to be with us forever (John 14:16) through the preaching of “Jesus and the resurrection” (Acts 17:18). Because He “suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous” (1 Peter 3:18), we “regard Christ the Lord as holy” and are always “prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks” for the reason for our hope (1 Peter 3:15). Our Baptism “now saves” us “as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 3:21). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The risen Lord Jesus alone is “the way, and the truth, and the life,” and we come “to the Father” only through Him (John 14:6). God is thus “glorified in the Son,” and those who believe in Him will do the works of Christ because He goes to the Father for us (John 14:12–14). Stephen, “a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 6:5) and “doing great wonders and signs among the people” (Acts 6:8), did the works of Christ.
When he was falsely accused and put to death, he “gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God” (Acts 7:55). Fixing his hope there, he commended his spirit to the Lord Jesus and prayed for his murderers. In the same way, all the baptized are called to follow the example of Christ Jesus by faith. Though He was “rejected by men” in the sight of God, He is “chosen and precious” (1 Peter 2:4). He is the chief cornerstone of the Father’s “spiritual house,” and we are built upon Him as “living stones” (1 Peter 2:5).

Although we “were straying like sheep,” the Lord Jesus Christ has willingly suffered and died for us, bearing our sins “in his body on the tree” (1 Peter 2:24–25). We are healed by His wounds (1 Peter 2:24), and in His resurrection He gathers us to Himself as our Good Shepherd, by whose righteousness we “have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).

From “before the foundation of the world” until heaven and earth pass away, “the word of the Lord remains forever” (1 Peter 1:20, 25). This “living and abiding word of God” is the preaching of Christ Jesus, namely that God “raised him from the dead and gave him glory” (1 Peter 1:21, 23). By this living word, we “have been born again” to eternal life (1 Peter 1:23) and ransomed from our sinful and mortal life “with the precious blood of Christ” (1 Peter 1:18–19). This living word also calls us to repentance, to dying and rising in Holy Baptism “in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins” (Acts 2:38). In this, we receive the Holy Spirit “for you and for your children and for all who are far off” (Acts 2:39). Through the preaching of His cross and resurrection, Jesus draws near to bring us “into his glory” (Luke 24:26). As He opens the Scriptures, He opens our minds to comprehend “the things concerning himself” (Luke 24:27), and He brings us to know Him “in the breaking of the bread” (Luke 24:35). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Today we hear Thomas telling the other disciples in essence to “get real!” Something that is real is that which is actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact, not imagined or supposed. The phrase “get real” is used for telling others that they should try to understand the true facts of a situation and not hope for what is impossible. Thomas mistakenly thinks that it’s the other disciples who need to “get real!” So, he says, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” So Jesus let him see and touch His wounded resurrected body, and Thomas “got real!” ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The crucified and risen Lord Jesus establishes the ministry of the Gospel in order to bestow His life-giving Holy Spirit and His peace upon the Church. To those who are called and ordained to this office, and to those they serve in His name, He grants the Holy Absolution of all sins. By the fruits of His cross, He replaces fear and doubt with peace and joy, and thus gives “repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins” (Acts 5:31). Through the preaching of His sent ones, He calls us to believe that He “is the Christ, the Son of God,” so that by such faith we “may have life in his name” (John 20:31). In His resurrection, we have the “living hope” to which we have been “born again” and by which we are guarded “for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:3, 5). Until then, “though you have not seen him, you love him,” and by the mercies of God “you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory” (1 Peter 1:8). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Every Sunday is the Lord’s Day, the day of His resurrection, “after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week” (Matt. 28:1). In the Divine Service, the Church enters upon the eternal “eighth day.” The Lord Jesus, “who was crucified,” who “has risen, as he said” (Matt. 28:5–6), is the firstborn from the dead and the first fruits of the new creation. Because “you have died” with Him in Holy Baptism, “you have been raised with Christ” and “your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Col. 3:1, 3). The Lord Jesus has become our God, as surely as He is “the God of all the clans of Israel,” and we now belong to His people (Jer. 31:1). In this He “shows no partiality” (Acts 10:34), but “everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name” (Acts 10:43). As “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power” and “raised him on the third day,” He also raises us up and pours out His Spirit upon us through the Gospel (Acts 10:38, 40). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The word “mindfulness” is a term we hear often today. The Mayo Clinic describes mindfulness as the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress. It addresses the difficulty many have in staying focused given how easily something like, for example, social media demands our attention and, in some cases, leads to reactions that negatively take over what we say and do. Spending too much time planning, problem-solving, daydreaming, googling, or thinking negative or random thoughts can be draining. It can also make you more likely to experience stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. While practicing mindfulness exercises can help you properly engage with the world around you, the apostle Paul talks about a beneficial mindfulness that comes not from within you, but from outside of you. When he says, “have this mind among yourselves,” he’s talking about mindfulness in Christ. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

“Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming.” He comes in gentle humility, “sitting on a donkey’s colt,” yet also as the King of Israel “in the name of the Lord” (John 12:13, 15). His royal glory is faithful obedience and self-sacrificing service “to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Phil. 2:8). The love of God is manifested in the cross and Passion of His Son for the salvation of sinners. Since He has borne our sins and suffered our death, “God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name” (Phil. 2:9), and He exalts us in His resurrection. Our Lord did not hide His face “from disgrace and spitting” (Is. 50:6), but He trusted His God and Father, who raised Him from death and the grave and exalted Him to His right hand. This same King Jesus now comes to us in gentle humility in His Supper, where He feeds us with His body and cleanses and covers us with His blood, so that “after his resurrection” we also shall rise and enter the holy city (Matt. 27:52–53). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The illness and death of Lazarus happened “that the Son of God may be glorified through it” (John 11:4). Jesus’ miracle of raising Lazarus prompted His arrest and crucifixion, whereby He would die “for the nation” and gather “into one the children of God who are scattered abroad” (John 11:51–52). As He called Lazarus from the tomb and commanded others to “unbind him, and let him go” (John 11:44), Jesus also calls us and releases us from the bondage of sin and death. We would not “submit to God’s law,” nor could we “please God” (Rom. 8:7–8), but “he condemned sin” in His own flesh so “that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us” (Rom. 8:3–4). Now through the Gospel, “the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells” in us (Rom. 8:11). His Word breathes His Spirit into our mortal flesh, animating us with His own life.

Who sinned? On a certain level, that question is legitimate. For the only reason there is any disease or handicap in the world today is because of sin. And more specifically, it is because our parents - our first parents, Adam and Eve - sinned and with their sin plunged the world into sin. All people ever since are born in sin and with sin. Bad things happen because of sin in the world, but there’s not always a direct cause and effect relationship. Sometimes we just don’t know why things happen as they do. But still, we want to know, don’t we, often because we want someone to blame. Maybe it’s because if we have someone to blame it will make ourselves feel better or feel superior. Jesus, however, doesn’t play the blame game but instead He says, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” living water–only He can satisfy your thirsty soul, which is the very thing He has come to do. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The Lord is grieved by the spiritual blindness of His people, yet in mercy He does not forsake them. He restrains His anger and keeps His peace, until He opens their ears and eyes to hear and see Him. “For his righteousness’ sake,” He magnifies His Word and makes it glorious in the coming of Christ Jesus (Is. 42:21). Jesus turns “the darkness before them into light” (Is. 42:16) because He is “the light of the world” (John 9:5). The incarnate Son of God does the works of His Father and displays the divine glory in His own flesh “while it is day,” until that night “when no one can work” (John 9:4). By the washing of water with His Word, He opens the eyes of the blind and grants rest to the weary. Therefore, though “at one time you were darkness,” now “you are light in the Lord” (Eph. 5:8) . By our Baptism into Christ, we live in the eternal day of His resurrection, wherein He shines upon us. As often as we fall back into the darkness of sin, He calls us by the Gospel to “awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead” (Eph. 5:14). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

It turns out Jesus never did get His drink that day at the well. Did you notice that? He wasn’t really asking for a drink of water. He had much more than that in mind. He thirsted for much more, just as He did on the cross. His thirst was for you and me: to make you His bride; to give you His drink. All of this so that you know how precious and valuable you are–so that you know the gifts of God. All of this so that instead of hanging onto the things of this world and life that we think will quench our thirst, we repent, let go of all that, and cling to Him alone–to Him who clung to the cross and who clings to you in love. For, nothing else really matters. Not really. The things of this world, the people of this world, and the admiration and adulation of this world come and go, but the Word of the Lord stands forever. The Word of the Lord that was made flesh for you–your Savior, who gives you Himself and His living water–only He can satisfy your thirsty soul, which is the very thing He has come to do. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Though the Lord had brought them out of Egypt, “all the congregation of the people of Israel” grumbled against Him, because “there was no water for the people to drink” (Ex. 17:1). Despite their quarreling, the Lord graciously provided for them. He did not strike the people for their sins, but by the hand of Moses He struck the Rock instead and brought forth water for the people. In the same way living water flows from the pierced side of Christ “about the sixth hour” (John 4:6, 19:14), when He is lifted up on the Cross for the sins of the world. He is “the gift of God” (John 4:10), the Well from which the Holy Spirit is poured out and becomes in His people “a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:14). By this grace in which we stand, being at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, we “worship the Father in spirit and truth” (John 4:23). “We rejoice in hope of the glory of God,” because “God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Rom. 5:2, 5). ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

When it comes to most things, it is good to go back to the basics. This is especially true regarding our salvation: it’s all God’s doing. God coming, God calling, God promising, God freely giving faith, forgiveness, and new life from above. He freely gives so that we can be born again from above and fed from above. And, we do not have to go up and get these things from above. God, as per usual, as always, brings them down to us. He brings them to us through the simplest means—water, words, bread, and wine—so that we who are simple can receive them. Perhaps these are not the most sophisticated means, but they are even better than a snake on a pole. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Jesus came to save and give life. He came into the world and was lifted up on the tree of the cross for one purpose only: that we might live. He came to give us life from above—to be that connection between God and man and between heaven and earth. Using the things of the earth—the water and Spirit of Holy Baptism, the word of absolution, and the bread and wine that carries His Body and Blood—He gives us the life of heaven. So that by looking to these “basic” things in faith and receiving them, we are blessed. We are children of Abraham. And more than that: children of God. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

The Lord called Abram (Abraham) to leave his home and go to a land that God would show him. He also promised to make of Abram “a great nation,” to bless him and make his name great as a blessing to “all the families of the earth” (Gen. 12:2–3). “Abram went, as the LORD had told him” (Gen. 12:4), and in Canaan “he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD” (Gen. 12:8). He “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness” (Rom. 4:3). Here the grace of God is manifested, that He “justifies the ungodly” (Rom. 4:5), not by works of the Law, but through faith in His promises. He removes all of our sins and lawless deeds through Jesus Christ, the offspring of Abraham in whom all the Lord’s promises are realized. This forgiveness of sins is the Word of the Gospel, the voice of the Holy Spirit, which “gives life to the dead” (Rom. 4:17). It opens the eyes of faith to behold Christ Jesus, the Son of Man lifted up on the cross, “that whoever believes in him may have eternal life” (John 3:14–15).

If you try to go toe-to-toe, with the devil, you will lose. You will go down. You’re not smart enough or strong enough. Now that doesn’t mean we don’t fight! We absolutely do. When the devil assaults you and attacks you and tempts you with all manner of sin, to get you to doubt God’s love for you, or hate someone, or take what is not yours or what has not been given to you, or lie or take advantage of someone, or believe the word of the world over the Word of God, or not bother to pray or read or hear the Scriptures, or give in to your urges and desires, or get annoyed with God for interfering with your life and what you want and what you think right, or any one of a thousand other ways the devil seduces you to think sin is good - fight!
Be part of the resistance. Yes! But fight not with your own strength, but with the Word of God and prayer. And when you go down - and you will go down! - know that the Valiant One is on your side; the Valiant One did not go down; the Valiant One wins for you and wins you. For you are that one word the devil hates above all others. That word he cut out of his vocabulary and dictionary. That word he forbids be spoken in his presence. You are forgiven.

The Transfiguration of our Lord gives us a glimpse of His glory. We, like Peter, would love to stay on those glorious mountain top moments of our lives and live in the glory of the resurrection. Unfortunately, we have to come down the mountain and face both the glorious moments in our life and those full of suffering. The voice of the Father reminds us, in good times and bad, to listen to His beloved Son who says, "Rise, and have no fear." Jesus only is enough for now and always.

The Transfiguration confirms “the prophetic word … to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place” (2 Peter 1:19). The divine glory of Jesus is manifested in the word of His apostles, who were “eyewitnesses of his majesty” (2 Peter 1:16).
“He was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun” (Matt. 17:2). Moses and Elijah witnessed the fulfillment of the Old Testament in this Lord Jesus, and the Father testified concerning Him: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” (Matt. 17:5). By His own blood, shed on the cross, Jesus makes and seals the new covenant with us. Hence, “the appearance of the glory of the Lord” is no longer “like a devouring fire” (Ex. 24:17), but it is graciously revealed in His own body.
As “Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel” went up the mountain with Moses and “beheld God, and ate and drank” (Ex. 24:9, 11), we also behold the Lord our God in Christ Jesus, and we abide with Him as we eat and drink His body and blood at the altar.

The phrase, “He said what?” is a way of expressing such astonishment at what someone has spoken as to request that it be repeated. When we hear that Jesus said, “you must be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48) we’re like, “He said what?”
It’s hard for us to believe that the bar for our lives could be set so high that it is impossible for us to reach. But you heard it right, it’s what He said. Yet, that’s not all He said. For He also said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die” (John 11:25-26).
He said what? He said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17). He said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). He said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:27-28).

The God who reveals Himself in His incarnate Son promises life and blessing to all who obey His commandments “by loving the LORD your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules” (Deut. 30:16). However, we are “people of the flesh” and “infants in Christ” (1 Cor. 3:1), among whom “there is jealousy and strife” (1 Cor. 3:3).
Jesus must instruct us against the human ways of anger, adultery, divorce and false witness (Matt. 5:21–37), because all who live in these ways “shall surely perish” (Deut. 30:18). On the cross, He died to forgive our sins and free us from the ways of curse and death. Since Jesus Christ is our “life and length of days” (Deut. 30:20), we can be reconciled to our brother, live in chastity and marital faithfulness, and speak with honesty.
He who serves from His cross also offers His gift of reconciliation at His altar, and we can be at peace with our brothers and sisters in Christ who are “God’s field, God’s building” (1 Cor. 3:9).

You are the salt of the earth. It’s a given, granted by Jesus Himself. As a disciple of Jesus, you are salt. Salt seasons, purifies, and preserves. When you sprinkle it on a dish it tickles the taste buds. A little goes a long way. Wherever God sprinkles you – in your home, your community, your work, your school – there you salt, seasoning your little corner of the world with Jesus.
You are the light of the world. Jesus is the light of the world too. In fact, He is the source of light while you are the reflection of that light. Like the moon reflecting the sun’s rays, Jesus is the light, and you reflect His light into the darkness of this world. Like salt, light makes a difference. It’s noticed like a shining city set high on a hill or like a lamp set a on a stand that fills the whole house with light. In Christ, you are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

Jesus warns that “unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:20), but He also calls His imperfect people “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world” (Matt. 5:13, 14).
That’s because the Lord Jesus came not to abolish the Law or the prophets, “but to fulfill them” (Matt. 5:17) in perfect faith and love. Since He does and teaches all of God’s commandments, He is “called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:19). God manifests His “demonstration of the Spirit and of power” in “Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2–4), and through the preaching of the Gospel He gives His “secret and hidden wisdom” (1 Cor. 2:7).
Christ gives this perfect righteousness to His people, and it leads them to true fasting, which is “to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free” (Is. 58:6) and “to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house” (Is. 58:7).

We boast in the One who gives us the free gift of salvation. We boast in the One who earned our salvation for us. "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." As St. Paul writes, "Jesus has become our righteousness, holiness and redemption." Jesus is your righteousness.
He has made you, a sinner, right with God by His death on the cross. Through faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior from sin, you have been made right with God. Now God not only "accepts" and "tolerates" you, He takes pride in you. The Lord boasts in you! Jesus is your holiness. Jesus is your redemption.
He has bought you and purchased you with His own life blood as the price. You are not your own. You are His treasured possession. And that is something to boast about!

The Season of Epiphany started with the account of the wise men being called out of Babylon. These men who had walked in darkness, in the confusion or diversity of pagan gods, had seen a great light, the light of Christ. Likewise, the Corinthians who had walked in darkness, in the confusion, division, and quarreling about who to follow, had seen a great light, the light of Christ that united them to be of the same mind and judgment.
Today we hear how Jesus called His disciples to follow Him, to join Him in calling all people out of the darkness and confusion of Babylon and into the light of His life and peace. His message, their message, and our message here today is one and the same, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

By His coming in the flesh and by His preaching and miracles, the Lord Jesus shines the light of His Gospel upon “the people who walked in darkness” and “who dwelt in a land of deep darkness” (Is. 9:2). He also has “multiplied the nation” and “increased its joy” (Is. 9:3) by calling disciples to Himself from the ends of the earth. For this purpose, He calls Peter and Andrew, with James and John, to follow Him and be “fishers of men” (Matt. 4:19).
As Jesus did, they also go forth “proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people” (Matt. 4:23). They preach the foolishness of the cross of Christ as the very power and wisdom of God. This word and preaching of the cross divides “those who are perishing” from “us who are being saved” (1 Cor. 1:18), but it unites the Church, the one Body of Christ, “in the same mind and the same judgment” (1 Cor. 1:10).

John came to believe that Jesus was God because of revelation. Faith in Jesus was revealed to John through something holy and divine. It came through a verbal word, which John received from God: "Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit." John, being a prophet, received this divine revelation from God and then he saw it come to pass before his very eyes.
The prophetic and apostolic apprehending of the faith is not the result of speculation or careful investigation like the world thinks. Secularists write books and movies to try to paint Christianity as a myth. By doing so, they demonstrate to the church that they have no idea what all of this is about. Prophetic apprehending of the faith comes through the revelation of the Scriptures by the Holy Spirit.
Faith comes by God entering our world and landing upon us. John is telling us that his faith in Jesus being God comes from divine revelation. "I did not know him but I saw the dove descend and land upon Him." It is by this Divine revelation that John the Baptist was able to make his great confession of faith in Jesus, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” We also make that confession every Lord’s day as we kneel at His Altar and receive Christ’s body and blood for the forgiveness of sins, life and salvation.

“The Lord, the Redeemer of Israel” calls forth “His Holy One” (Is. 49:7), Jesus, the Christ, “from the womb” of His Mother (Is. 49:1). The Incarnate Son of God is revealed as the Savior, not only for Israel, but also “as a light for the nations” whose salvation reaches “to the ends of the earth” (Is. 49:6).
John came “baptizing with water” (John 1:31) to reveal Jesus as “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29) and who glorifies His God and Father by His atoning sacrifice upon the Cross. When Jesus was baptized in the waters of the Jordan, the Holy Spirit descended “from heaven like a dove” and “remained on Him” (John 1:32).
By our Baptism, we are anointed by the same Spirit, adopted by God the Father, and “called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 1:9). Therefore, we “are not lacking in any spiritual gift,” but we can trust Him who promises to sustain us to the end, “guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 1:7–8).

A gift opening is about unwrapping gifts. Many of you have been to a gift opening after a wedding, and of course, we all just engaged in a gift opening at Christmas. The Epiphany of our Lord this past Friday, January 6th, marked the end of the 12 days of Christmas with the account of the visit of the wise men.
While Christmas is about God’s giving of the gift of Jesus, the Epiphany of our Lord and the entire Season of Epiphany is about God opening the gift so that we see who Jesus is, what He has done, and what He continues to do for the life of the world. Think of today, the Baptism of our Lord, as God’s gift opening, the day heaven opens, the day our Father in heaven unwraps
His gift for us, opening our eyes to see that Jesus is indeed His beloved Son. It’s also opening day for Jesus, the day He is anointed and set apart to begin His work of saving us from sin and death.

The Baptism of our Lord is an “epiphany” of the one true God in the flesh and blood of Jesus. He is the chosen servant of the Lord, anointed with the Spirit for the rescue of God’s people to “bring forth justice to the nations” (Is. 42:1). Thus, He makes all things new, and He is given “as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations” (Is. 42:6).
In the waters of the Jordan, He takes His place with sinners and takes all the sins of the world upon Himself. He undergoes the Baptism of repentance in order to “fulfill all righteousness” for us (Matt. 3:15). He submits Himself to the curse of sin and death in order to redeem us.
We are baptized with a Baptism like His, thereby dying and rising with Him, so that “we will also live with him” (Rom. 6:8). Indeed, all of us who are baptized into Christ Jesus are anointed with His Spirit and named by His Father as beloved and well-pleasing sons and daughters.

It seems like nothing ever changes. We make promises we cannot keep; we fail in our attempts to overcome evil with good, and then we die. Nothing ever changes. Nothing ever changes, that is, without God in Christ. But in Christ, everything changes! The Advent of our God in Christ changes everything!

The Fourth Sunday in Advent turns our attention toward the Nativity of Our Lord. With the blessed Virgin Mary, we await the coming of the Christ, her Son, conceived in her womb by the Word and Spirit of God. This fulfillment of the sign once given to the house of David, that “the virgin shall conceive and bear a son” (Is. 7:14), is now given to us in the Gospel.
It declares that salvation is by His grace alone, entirely His work and a free gift. It also is the way and means by which the Lord our God is Immanuel, “God with us.” The almighty and eternal Son of God is conceived and born of Mary, and is thus “descended from David according to the flesh” (Rom. 1:3–4). He comes in this way to save us with His own flesh and blood; wherefore, He is called “Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matt. 1:21). As Joseph received this sign in faith and immediately “did as the angel of the Lord commanded him” (Matt. 1:24), we also live by faith in this Holy Gospel.

Sometimes life requires the astonishing patience of Job. Like him, we are to rejoice in the midst of affliction, be grounded in repentance under the cross of Christ and hope relentlessly in His resurrection, that we might see “the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful” (James 5:11).
Therefore, in the promise of the Gospel, “be patient” and “establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand” (James 5:8). Like John the Baptist, whatever your own kind of prison or suffering may be, call upon Jesus and receive the strength of His Word from those He sends to you.
For as “the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up” (Matt. 11:5), so is the Good News of Jesus preached to you also. He comes and restores the fortunes of Zion, His holy Church, so that “sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Is. 35:10).

The Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) is a public safety notification system that enables authorized agencies to send text-like messages to consumers with capable wireless devices to alert them of emergencies in their area. If you hear the alert of a tornado in your area, for example, it’s not too late to take cover. Today, we hear an emergency alert from John the Baptist to repent of our sins and to receive the goodness of God in Christ. The fact that you are hearing this warning means it’s not too late to be good, to take cover in the goodness of God in Christ

“John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, ‘Repent’” (Matt. 3:1–2). His preaching of repentance for the forgiveness of sins prepared people for the coming of Christ into the world. St. John’s work was historically complete with the incarnate advent of Jesus, but his vital ministry continues in preaching Law and Gospel.
The Son of God has come in the flesh, “a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots” (Is. 11:1), and continues to bear the fruits of righteousness. His good tree of the cross is “a signal for the peoples” (Is. 11:10), by which He calls the nations to repentance. “With the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips” (Is. 11:4), He slays the wicked and brings the dead to life, making sons of Abraham out of lifeless stones.
So also, the “root of Jesse” comes to us, “even he who arises to rule the Gentiles” (Rom. 15:12), that “we might have hope” and be filled “with all joy and peace in believing” (Rom. 15:4, 13).

We do not know when, but Scripture tells us that Jesus is coming. That is what Advent means, coming. It was prophesied from Genesis 3 that Jesus would come and be born of a woman and crush the head of the serpent. The observance of Christmas and the Cross remind us of that He kept that promise. But as time goes on, people doubt His second coming on Judgment Day and some fall asleep. The Word enlivens us to stay awake in the faith and to always be ready.

The Lord Jesus enters Jerusalem “humble, and mounted on a donkey,” riding on “a beast of burden” (Matt. 21:5), as He Himself bears the sins of the world in His body. Now He comes by the ministry of the Gospel to save us from sin, death, the devil and hell. Therefore, we sing, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matt. 21:9).
For we are called “to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob,” His Holy Church, “that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths” (Is. 2:3). By His Word, we “walk in the light of the LORD” (Is. 2:5). That is to live in love, which “does no wrong to a neighbor” (Rom. 13:10).
We “cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light,” for “salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed” (Rom. 13:11, 12).
Hence, the entire Christian life is a time to wake and watch, “for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming” (Matt. 24:42).

Today you will be with me in paradise.” Why is that the promise given us on this Sunday, the last Sunday of the Church’s year? Why this gospel on this day? That promise is the hinge between the ending of this liturgical year and the beginning of the next. It stands between the crucifixion and the nativity, the falling of the temple from last week’s gospel and the return of Christ in next week’s gospel. Ultimately, though it is the promise that joins the many different endings in our lives with a new beginning. In Christ’s eyes we are never forgotten and dis-membered. We are forever and always re-membered. “Today you will be with me in paradise” is Jesus’ promise to each one of us, this day and every day.

The prophet addresses the complaint and temptation of many Christians: “What point is there in being faithful to the Lord? We suffer, but the arrogant and proud unbelievers prosper!” Let us renounce all such thoughts. Though we may suffer in this life as Christ’s faithful Christians, there will be a day in which we who have hoped in Christ will be vindicated. Christ’s suffering is the source of an eternal life with God in Christ. Shall we, therefore, spurn suffering in our own lives for the sake of Christ?
By no means. Colossians 1:13-20: Christ is confessed to be the Father’s faithful Son. He redeemed us by His blood and He is the head of all things for the sake of His Church. He has made peace with God for us by the blood of His cross. Luke 23:27-43: This year, the last Sunday in the Church Year presents a scene from the Passion of Our Lord that is often neglected: the daughters of Jerusalem mourn, weep, and lament as Jesus carries His cross to Calvary. As we look forward to Christ’s Second Coming at the end of the Church Year, we remember that He is “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” by virtue of His suffering and death upon the cross. It is precisely in His suffering and death that He inaugurated His kingdom.
When He comes again in glory, His body will still bear the marks of His suffering in His hands and His side. The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world is always and eternally at the center of our faith and worship. The highest worship of God in this life is to mourn and lament one’s sin in true contrition and repentance and to long to hear and receive His Word of absolution. Indeed, in this portion of the Passion, Jesus prays for those who crucified Him, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” His prayer upon the cross foreshadowed how He continues to intercede for us in heaven until His Second Coming.
On the day of His return, we shall hear Him say to us the same thing that He said to the malefactor who hung next to Him: “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

The late singer songwriter John Denver wrote in one of his songs, “Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy, sunshine in my eyes can make me cry.” The prophet Malachi also wrote about the sun, but the sun he wrote about was and is the sun of righteousness, a reference to the Christ and His coming at the end of time. When He comes, He “shall rise on the arrogant and the evildoers” and “make them cry,” “for they shall be set ablaze.” But “for those who fear the name of the Lord, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in His wings.”

There are signs of the Lord’s coming all around: the cross that marks His Church, the violence and death of the sinful world, and the shaking of the natural order. “There will be great distress upon the earth” (Luke 21:23), but the faithful know that “the kingdom of God is near” (Luke 21:31). Therefore, “straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28).
Be awake and alert, and heed the words of Christ, which “will not pass away” (Luke 21:33). For you, “the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings” (Mal. 4:2). He sends His preachers of repentance in the spirit and power of Elijah “before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes” (Mal. 4:5), in order to “direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ” (2 Thess. 3:5).
Although you are often faithless, “the Lord is faithful,” and by the preaching of His Word “he will establish you and guard you against the evil one” (2 Thess. 3:3). Therefore, “do not grow weary in doing good” (2 Thess. 3:13). In the midst of calamity, believe upon the Lord, Jesus Christ.

All Saints Day is good not only for us to rejoice with those who are in heaven, but to comfort us who mourn. Our All Saints celebration is a day to re-orient our hearts and minds on things above with all the heavenly host who are with Jesus for all eternity. All Saints Day sets our faith compass back to true north.
All Saints Day sets our minds on things above, on things that last beyond this world and life. And that blessedness is not what we do or what we have, but what God does for us in Jesus. Jesus is not only the one who blesses, He is the blessed one, and the very embodiment of the Beatitudes. All that we are He becomes, so that all that He is be given to us. We are blessed not so much with what He gives, but as He gives Himself to us.

“A great multitude … from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages,” cry out, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne” (Rev. 7:9–17). Faith-filled saints from every place and time, with unified voices, eternally magnify the Lamb of God. As His beloved children, we, too, “shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:1–3).
Joined with the throng of angels and a myriad of saints, we shall “serve him day and night in his temple” (Rev. 7:9–17). In our earthly tension vacillating between saint and sinner, faith and doubt, sacred and profane, we earnestly seek Jesus to calm our fears, comfort our spirits and forgive our sins. The Holy Spirit through faith in Christ propels us forward, fortifying us in Word and Sacrament, to our eternal home. In the midst of our constant struggle as believers, we need to be blessed.
And so we are. The poor in spirit, the meek, the hungry, the thirsty, the merciful, the pure and the persecuted are all blessed, and we will most certainly inherit the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 5:1–12).

“He said with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come.’” “The hour of His judgment has come,” that’s the Gospel? That’s good news? It sounds more like the bad news of cancel culture. Here’s the difference. The eternal Gospel to proclaim is that the judgment of God that we deserve has already been taken by Jesus in His death on the cross.
It’s all on Him! He received the death penalty for our sin in our place so that in Him we are declared righteous. This is the eternal Gospel proclaimed both by angels with wings and without “to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.”

“Wisdom is justified by her deeds” (Matt. 11:19), and the true Wisdom of God, Christ Jesus, the incarnate Son, justifies us by His deeds. He prepares His way by the preaching of repentance, but He has suffered the violence of the Law and voluntarily handed Himself over to violent men, that we might eat and drink with Him in His kingdom and “remain in the house forever” (John 8:35). For He is “a friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Matt. 11:19), and He has rescued us by His grace from the slavery of sin and death.
By the proclamation of His eternal Gospel “to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people” (Rev. 14:6), “the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law” (Rom. 3:21), “that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus” (Rom. 3:26). And by hearing the Gospel of Christ Jesus, “whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith” (Rom. 3:25), “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).

We are not here today as Cain was or as the Pharisee was saying, “God, thank you I’m not like other sinners.” No, we’re here as the tax collector, “God, make atonement for my sins.” “God, take my sins away.” And God does. We are murderers. And that’s exactly who God’s grace is for. Bring all your jealousy and hatred and contempt - murder to the One who put it all to death on the cross.
And exchange all that sin for His good and gracious love. Here at this altar is the atonement for your sins. His very body and blood. You are forgiven. Justified. And, like the tax collector, you may go home in peace. Thank you, Lord, that you have made us who we are—forgiven sinners. Thank you, Lord, that you have shown us what real and true love is—not showing contempt or jealousy—but loving and serving as You have loved us. Laying down our lives for our friends.

Jesus tells a parable “to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous” (Luke 18:9). In this parable the Pharisee unjustly boasted before God on the basis of his own merits, whereas the tax collector intently prayed, “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” (Luke 18:13). That poor miserable sinner trusted Christ, and he went “down to his house justified, rather than the other” (Luke 18:14).
So do little children, “even infants,” come to Jesus with their need, and they “receive the kingdom of God” through faith (Luke 18:15–17). For “the one who humbles himself will be exalted,” but “everyone who exalts himself will be humbled” (Luke 18:14). That is why “the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering He had no regard” (Gen. 4:3–4). St. Paul's life, “poured out as a drink offering,” was another sacrifice like Abel's (2 Tim. 4:6).
The Lord stood by Paul and strengthened him, that “the message might be fully proclaimed” (2 Tim. 4:17). It is by that Gospel message of Christ that we “have loved His appearing” and as repentant sinners pray to “the Lord, the righteous judge” by faith (2 Tim. 6:8).

Lady Justice holding the Scales of Justice is one of the most recognizable symbols in the legal system. The statue of Lady Justice holding the Scales of Justice demonstrates an aura of fairness, opportunity, and justice. The characterization of Lady Justice that most are familiar with has three distinct features: a blindfold, the scales of justice, and a sword. The blindfold over Lady Justice’s eyes represents the notion of impartiality.
The Scales of Justice signify that for justice to be had the weight of the evidence for and against an issue should be weighed and considered before issuing a ruling. Finally, the sword represents the authority to execute justice. None of that is on display when it comes to the unrighteous judge of Jesus’ parable. Yet, the unrighteous judge ends up giving the persistent widow justice, not based on the law, but because he doesn’t want to be bothered. What appears to be a mockery of justice winds up doing justice. Similarly, God will certainly do justice, but in a way that the world will perceive as crooked.
He elects the Son to be the world’s sin, to take the full brunt of the law, to be sentenced to death in our place for our sin. The question at the end of this parable is not whether the Son of Man will find justice when He comes on the Last Day. The only question is whether the Son of Man will find faith on the earth when He appears. Before God and His bar of justice, the only thing that matters, the only thing that counts as righteousness is faith in what Jesus has done for us.

“Left alone,” Jacob wrestled through the night with the Lord, “until the breaking of the day” (Gen. 32:24). Though “Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him” (Gen. 32:25), he would not let go until the Lord blessed him. At times, we, too, strive with God; He strives with us and blesses us by grace. So Jesus teaches us “always to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1).
Jesus speaks of “a judge who neither feared God nor respected man” and of a widow “who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary’” (Luke 18:2–3). Because of her persistence, the judge agreed to “give her justice” (Luke 18:5). Our Lord dispenses justice generously and swiftly, giving “justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night” (Luke 18:7). He does so according to the Gospel. Therefore, His ministers are to persevere faithfully in their vocation, in what they “have learned and have firmly believed” (2 Tim. 3:14).
On the basis of “the sacred writings” (2 Tim. 3:15), they are to “preach the word” at all times and not lose heart (2 Tim. 4:2).

Jesus comes in mercy, and by His Word heals you in body and soul. “Go and show yourselves to the priests,” for you are cleansed (Luke 17:14), and you are granted access to the Lord's Temple. It is “at Jesus' feet, giving Him thanks” (Luke 17:16), that you worship God, for Christ Jesus is your great High Priest; His Body is the true Temple. In Him you “find rest, each of you in the house of her husband” (Ruth 1:9), for the Lord has “visited His people and given them food” (Ruth 1:6).
The person of Jesus Christ lodges Himself in holy food--bread and wine for believers to eat and drink. You lodge where Jesus lodges; His Father is your God, His people are your people. Death cannot part you from Him, because His death and resurrection are eternally yours through Holy Baptism. “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead” (2 Tim. 2:8–9). As surely as death could not hold Him, so surely “the Word of God is not bound” (2 Tim. 2:9).
His Gospel is entrusted “to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:2), so that you “may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 2:10). Such is the confession of faith for all the saints, who believe, teach, and confess the one Lord and Savior--Jesus Christ.

My wife and I enjoy hiking along paths in the mountains and woods. From time to time one of us, while failing to pay attention to ourselves due to a great view or some wildlife in the area, will trip on a rock protruding from a path. Jesus uses this image when He says in speaking of our “hike” of faith, “Temptations to sin are sure to come.” The word that Jesus uses here is the Greek word “skandalon.”
It’s the word for scandal. A “skandalon” is a stick, a stone, or a rock on a path that causes a person to trip and fall. Walking through the rocky, uneven path of this life in which sin, doubt, disease, and death are strewn all over the place, there are no shortages of things that cause us to trip and fall in our “hike” of faith. “Temptations to sin are sure to come…” But just as surely, a day is coming when every temptation to sin will be gone, every ‘skandalon’ will be removed, and there will be no more falling, only rising.
Rising to be welcomed home by our Lord Jesus Christ, and perfectly reconciled to God and every brother and sister in Christ. Until then, “Pay attention to yourselves!”

We are surrounded by “destruction and violence” (Hab. 1:3) because the Law “is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth” (Hab. 1:4). In fact, the Law cannot rescue us from our enemies; it is our fiercest enemy of all. Therefore, not by sight, experience or feeling, nor by works, “the righteous shall live by his faith” (Hab. 2:4).
“Temptations to sin are sure to come” (Luke 17:1), but as often as we sin, the Lord rebukes us, turns us to repentance and forgives us. We pray that He would thus “increase our faith” (Luke 17:5). And indeed, He does! Though we are His “unworthy servants” (Luke 17:10), He prepares His Supper for us, dresses us properly and gives us His body and blood to eat and drink. He appoints pastors for us, “by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 1:1).
For the Gospel brings “life and immortality to light” (2 Tim. 1:10). This we believe. Therefore, “follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard,” by which He guards you “in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 1:13).

: Looks can be deceiving. The story of the rich man and Lazarus is a perfect example of that. By all accounts, the rich man in this story was “blessed.” He had all that he needed and wanted and was probably held in high esteem by everyone in the community. On the other hand, there was Lazarus.
By all appearances he was “cursed.” He was homeless, in poor health, hungry, and living on the street. His only companions were the dogs who came and licked his sores. But looks can be deceiving. For, as Jesus tells us, the man who by all accounts and appearances we thought blessed was the cursed one, and the man who we thought cursed was the blessed one! So how do we know who is blessed and who is cursed? How do we know if what our eyes tell us is right or wrong?
We know by our ears. The Word of God will always tell us the truth despite appearances; despite what our thoughts or emotions might tell us; despite the opinions of those around us. The Word of God says who we are. The only question is whether we will believe what the Word of God says or not.

God doesn’t give sinners what they’re due. If He did, we’d all be fired and kicked to the curb. He doesn’t give you what you really deserve. That’s what you and I would do. But God isn’t like us. He is a God of mercy.
We owe a massive debt to Him. But He settles the bill. By giving His Son Jesus. To give His life as payment on the cross. And then, when we turn to Him for forgiveness, He actually commends us. He commends us! And we should say, “For what, God?! For what?” And He says, “I commend you through faith in Jesus Christ. And I love you even though you’re a sinner.”

Because God, our Savior, “desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:4), He urges “that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people” (1 Tim. 2:1). Christians should so pray “without anger or quarreling,” but “adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control” (1 Tim. 2:8, 9).
For the Lord does not forget “the poor of the land” (Amos 8:4). He remembers them according to the foolishness of the cross. “For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God” (Luke 16:15). Though we try to justify ourselves “before men,” God knows our sinful hearts and calls us to repentance (Luke 16:15).
Though we are “not strong enough to dig,” and we are “ashamed to beg” (Luke 16:3), He justifies us by His grace and welcomes us into His “eternal dwellings” (Luke 16:9). More shrewd than even “the sons of this world” (Luke 16:8), He requires His stewards of the Gospel to bestow forgiveness freely.

“The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Tim. 1:15). As He had mercy on Paul, in order to “display his perfect patience” (1 Tim. 1:16), so also does He seek out His sheep “from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness” (Ezek. 34:12).
To deliver His flock, He “will seek the lost, … bring back the strayed, … bind up the injured, and … strengthen the weak” (Ezek. 34:16), and “they shall no longer be a prey” (Ezek. 34:22). He sets over them one great Good Shepherd, the Son of David, who “shall feed them and be their shepherd” (Ezek. 34:23).
For Christ Jesus is the one man who, “having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them,” would “leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it” (Luke 15:4). When He finds the lost one and brings it home rejoicing, “the angels of God” and all the company of heaven rejoice with Him, with great joy (Luke 15:7, 10).

Cultures are groups of people who share a common set of values and beliefs. Today we hear how Jesus reveals some aspects of the uplifting culture of the kingdom of God. It’s about healing, humility, and hospitality to the undeserving.
This is in direct conflict with the culture of the Pharisees spoken of in our text. Theirs’ is a cancel culture that has to do helping yourself, arrogance, and giving only to deserving people. By coming to church today, you have entered the healing, humble, and hospitable culture of the Kingdom of God.

A disciple of Jesus Christ will “bear his own cross” (Luke 14:27) and follow the Lord through death into life. Discipleship is costly because it crucifies the old man with “all that he has” (Luke 14:33), in order to raise up the new man in Christ.
The disciple disavows “his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life” (Luke 14:26), in deference to Christ. That way of the cross is impossible, except that Christ Jesus has already paid the cost. His cross is set before you as “life and good, death and evil” (Deut. 30:15).
Taking up His cross is to “choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him” (Deut. 30:19–20). To live that life in Christ is also to bear His cross in love, “that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own accord” (Philemon 14). #BibleStudy #lcms #lutheran

“Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,” Jesus proclaims, but “he who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 14:11). For your hope is in the name of the Lord, who humbled Himself unto death on the cross and was exalted in His resurrection.
So, are you humbled by His cross, and “at the resurrection of the just,” He will say to you, “Friend, move up higher” (Luke 14:10, 13–14)? By His grace, the King will honor you “in the presence of a noble,” where your eyes will gaze upon the Prince, His dearly beloved Son (Prov. 25:7).
As He has dealt so graciously with you, “do not neglect to do good and to share what you have” (Heb. 13:16), and “do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers” (Heb. 13:2). Humble yourself and exalt your neighbor.

: Jesus is the door to eternal life. And to pass through this door, you do not need to be the best, or the smartest, or the most devoted, or meet a certain criteria. You need only be in Him. In Jesus, the One who takes you from earth to heaven. If we try to approach heaven apart from Him, on our own, on the basis of our own merits or achievements, then it is the words we heard in the Holy Gospel that will be spoken to us: “I do not know where you come from.” But the door is open for those who come in Jesus, in His cross, in His death and resurrection. For these God knows. And those who come in these, God knows. For as we have lived in these, through confession and repentance, through forgiveness and the life our Savior gives, He has known us all along. And we who are probably considered last by the criteria of the world, will be first in the kingdom of God.

With the cross of Christ, the time has come “to gather all nations and tongues” (Is. 66:18). The sign of the cross is set forth in the preaching of the Gospel, the declaration of the Lord's glory “among the nations” (Is. 66:19).
Many “will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God” (Luke 13:29), but only by the narrow way of the cross. Those who refuse to follow Christ crucified will ultimately find only “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Luke 13:28), whereas Christ's disciples, called from all the nations, will eat and drink with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of God. They will come into “the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem” (Heb. 12:22).

What’s going on in your life? Surrounded by many difficult issues? Health concerns? Old age problems? Is death knocking on your door? Spiritual difficulties? Family dilemmas? Financial troubles? Feel like it’s time to throw in the towel?
Like you just can’t trust in the Lord anymore? Tempted to live as if you’re not died for? Enticed to live as if you’re not baptized? Are you lured to abandon the divine service altogether? Want to stop running and give up? Well, you are surrounded. The Lord says you are surrounded. And his word is much different than the police.
Not a word of surrender or giving up but one of hope. The Lord Jesus gives you a word so that you do not grow weary. The Lord Jesus gives you a word so that you do not lost heart and give up. You are given a word to strengthen your faith in the Lord.

The Lord Jesus causes fear and trembling and division because His Word is “like fire … and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces” (Jer. 23:29). His Law puts us all to death, whereas only His Gospel can bring us to life. He has fulfilled that Word for us by His cross and in His resurrection from the dead. He undergoes such a distressing Baptism, accomplished by His death, in order to open the way for us through our Holy Baptism into His cross and resurrection.
So, then, if we are able “to interpret the appearance of earth and sky” (Luke 12:56), let us mark this sign of His cross — recognizing that this world is subject to death, but knowing that Christ Jesus also has conquered death and obtained life everlasting for us. Let us fix our eyes on “Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith” and “run with endurance the race that is set before us” (Heb. 12:1–2).

The rich man’s story in the parable is set within chronological time. He spends his time seeking to lay up an abundance of treasures for himself, covetous for the for the things of this world. Once he has them his plan is to stockpile them so that he can “eat, drink, and be merry” for years to come.
But like a click on a stopwatch, his life ends that very night. He’s a fool. The truth is this, there is only one rich man in the world, and His name is Jesus. This rich man’s story is that even time is in His hands, and in the fullness of time, He won for us the riches of God through His death and resurrection. And right here and now, at this proper time, the time when we gather in His name to hear His words, and to eat and drink His very body and blood, He makes us wise and rich toward God.

To live for earthly things “is vanity and a striving after wind,” and work that is driven by such vanity “is an unhappy business” (Eccl. 1:13–14). The man who lives like that has nothing to show for “all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun … all his days are full of sorrow” (Eccl. 2:22–23).
So, too, your “covetousness, which is idolatry” (Col. 3:5), makes a god out of that which cannot give you life or happiness. For “one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15). But “Christ who is your life” (Col. 3:4), in giving you Himself, gives you all the wealth of heaven. Instead of striving to lay up treasures for yourself, be “rich toward God” in Him (Luke 12:21).

: I grew up in a Lutheran home. We went to church faithfully and I was taught the catechism and the liturgy and hymnody of the church. I was taught to pray before I went to bed. One of the prayers that I prayed for years is that God would bless me by giving me a faithful and loving Christian wife. God answered my prayer and He gave me a beautiful wife, a Christian wife who is a good theologian to boot, something most important for a man in the ministry. God gave me more than I prayed for.
Another example from my childhood: I always thought it would be cool to have a little brother or sister. I prayed. It never happened. But God answered my prayer in a way I would never have imagined. He gave me three sons and three daughters who are more than brothers and sisters. Of course, these are pleasant examples of God giving us more than we pray for. Sometimes He gives surprise answers to our prayers after we have suffered, like the Canaanite woman or the man at the pool or those struggling Christians suffering under persecution. But whenever and however He answers, He gives us more and better than we deserve or ask. He strengthens us, makes us grow in grace and become better theologians. As the hymn writer puts it: “God knows full when times of gladness Shall be the needful thing for thee. When He has tried thy soul with sadness And from all guile has found thee free, He comes to thee all unaware And makes thee own His loving care,” (LSB 750 stanza 4).
But does that really happen? Always? How many demons possessed and cripples never saw Jesus and were never healed? How many warring Christians have never reconciled with each other? How many faithful pastors have prayed for their congregation to grow and it never has? How many poor wives pray that their husbands quit beating them, and they never do? How many times have we prayed for the violence and racism to stop and it doesn’t? How often have we prayed for someone to be healed and they only die? Have all the prayers of these Christians been answered?
Yes, or they will be, even if it has to be eschatologically or in the last days. God is giving us what we should have been asking for all along - and really were when we were praying our Lord’s Prayer - namely, forgiveness, salvation, fortitude, patience, and love, along with the intricate composite of all the blessings and sufferings which make us Christians. We hunger and thirst for all that we request in prayer, because the Word of God has promised exactly those things to us. We are eager to receive from our gracious heavenly Father and He is even more eager to give what we request. “Lord, teach us to pray.”

Jesus catechizes His disciples in the way of faith by teaching them how to pray. He promises us: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9). If earthly fathers know how to give good gifts to their children, “how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him” (Luke 11:13).
Thus, father Abraham was bold in his prayer because he believed the gracious promise of the Lord, that he would “surely become a great and mighty nation” (Gen. 18:18). When we pray in Jesus’ name, we also hold “fast to the Head” (Col. 2:19), “rooted and built up in him and established in the faith” (Col. 2:6–7).

Martha, Jesus says, is “anxious and troubled about many things” (Luke 10:41). In other words, she has a lot on her mind and even more to do. She is missing out on the “one thing necessary” due to being distracted with much serving. She is engaging in what we would call today, multitasking, and as a result, she is stressed, inattentive, and preoccupied with the mundane. In His admonition of her, Jesus invites her to take a seat. He does the same thing for you here today.

“The LORD appeared to [Abraham] by the oaks of Mamre” (Gen. 18:1) and received his hospitality. But Abraham received the gracious promise of a son. Though Abraham and Sarah were very old, nothing is “too hard for the LORD” (Gen. 18:14). His Word appointed the time and fulfilled the promise. In the same way, the Lord Jesus “entered a village” and received Martha’s hospitality (Luke 10:38).
“Martha was distracted with much serving” because she was “anxious and troubled about many things” (Luke 10:40–41), but her sister, Mary, “sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching” (Luke 10:39). The service of love is no sin, but “one thing is necessary” for both faith and love — the Word of Christ (Luke 10:42).
Thus, the ministers of Christ are sent “to make the word of God fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints” (Col. 1:25–26).

The lawyer asked, “Who is my neighbor?” The answer quite literally is whoever is near. Today we learn that you are Jesus’ neighbor, that He is near to help you, to forgive you, to bind your wounds, to give you everything you need for this life and the life to come. As the apostle Paul reminds us, “The Lord is near” (Romans 4:5b).
The Lord is near where His word is near. “The word is near you,” he says, “in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:8b-9).
Jesus is the Good Samaritan of the parable, and today He binds up your wounds with the healing balm of His Gospel as He brings you here into His Church, where He takes care of you at His own expense.

The Law commands that “you shall love the Lord your God” with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength (Luke 10:27), and that you shall “love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev. 19:18).
Love fulfills the Law because love does no harm to the neighbor. Christ Jesus is the Good Samaritan, who with divine compassion saves you from all evil. He takes your sin and death upon Himself and bears these in His body to the cross. He binds up your wounds with the healing balm of His Gospel, and He brings you into His Church, where He takes care of you at His own expense (Luke 10:34–35).
By such mercy, He proves “to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers” (Luke 10:36). Therefore, “you go, and do likewise” (Luke 10:37). By “your faith in Christ Jesus” and “because of the hope laid up for you in heaven” (Col. 1:4–5), you have the same love for others as the Lord Jesus has for you.

What is it that brings you true joy? Have you ever thought about that? Jesus rejoices that your names are written in heaven. In fact in heaven there is rejoicing over one sinner who repents! For Jesus, the joy of your names written in heaven meant first being accused of being demon-possessed.
It meant rejection by the people He grew up with. It meant nails. It meant whipping. It meant crucifixion and death. But the joy . . . the joy that your name would be written in heaven made it worth every taunt, every mock, every stroke of the whip, every hammer upon nails penetrating through skin and flesh, and every moment in the cold, dark grave.
The joy that you would be with Him. And not just now, but forever.

The Lord restores Jerusalem, His Church, because she is the mother of His children, whom He comforts “as one whom his mother comforts” (Is. 66:13). We are “satisfied from her consoling breast” with the pure milk of the Word, and we “drink deeply with delight from her glorious abundance” (Is.
66:11).
The messengers of Christ bestow such gifts upon His Church. For He sends them out “as lambs in the midst of wolves” (Luke 10:3), bearing in their bodies the sacrifice of His cross, by which “the kingdom of God has come near” (Luke 10:9, 11). Wherever He enters in with this Gospel, Satan is cast out and falls “like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18).
Thus, we do not “boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Gal. 6:14). Rejoicing in this Gospel, we “bear one another’s burdens” in love, according to “the law of Christ” (Gal. 6:2).

Saying that someone is about to “face the music” means that that the hour has come to be confronted with the unpleasant consequences of one's actions. Today we learn that Jesus “set his face to go to Jerusalem” (Luke 9:51b) to be confronted with the unpleasant consequences of the sins of the world.
He “faced the music” in our place for our sins when He suffered and died on the cross. Now, having accomplished our salvation, the risen and ascended Lord comes to us by His Spirit at work through His Word so that we can enjoy the beautiful melody of His forgiveness, goodness, life, and peace. It’s music to our ears!

When the prophet Elijah became discouraged and despaired of his life, “the word of the LORD came to him” (1 Kings 19:9b) and stood him “on the mount before the LORD” (1 Kings 19:11). The Lord made Himself known to the prophet — not in the impressive power of gale force winds, or in an earthquake, or in the fire, but in “the sound of a low whisper” (1 Kings 19:12).
Today God reveals Himself to us through the frail preaching of the Gospel. The Son of Man sends “messengers ahead of him ... to make preparations for him” (Luke 9:52). Putting their hand to that plow of preaching, they “go and proclaim the kingdom of God,” and they do not look back (Luke 9:60, 62). What they preach is not the power of the Law with its “yoke of slavery,” but the power of God unto salvation through the Gospel of forgiveness, by which “Christ has set us free” (Gal. 5:1).

Just as Jesus left the ninety-nine in Israel and went to the country of the Gerasenes to save this one man, so also, He left His throne in heaven to come down and save us. All of us, who, since the Fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden have been under the oppression of the evil one, captive to sin, and lost.
He enters this world of sin and death and graves that we live in to set us free and to give us hope. He is the stronger man who has come to bind the strong man who has bound us (Matthew 12). And the enemy of your enemy isn’t just your friend, He is your Savior. For Jesus didn’t just enter our world of sin and death and grave, He actually entered our sin and death and graves themselves, in order to destroy them and their grip on us in His resurrection, to set us free and to give us life again.

“Who do you make yourself out to be?” (John 8:53b). It’s one of the questions Jesus was asked when He said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death” (John 8:51). The same question could be asked of you and me who make all sorts of claims about ourselves, “Who do you make yourself out to be?” Jesus’ final answer to their questions was this, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58).
In other words what He is saying is this, “I am God, the second person of the Holy Trinity who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” He asserts that He is indeed greater than Abraham and the prophets. He’s not the one who dishonors God, they are. They dishonor God by claiming to know God while rejecting Jesus. So Jesus sets the record straight, “If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word” John 8:55b).
So, what are they lying about? What are we lying about? Who do you make yourself out to be?”

The divine Word of the Father also is the holy wisdom who “was beside him, like a master workman,” who “was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always” (Prov. 8:30). This Word became flesh and suffered death in order to bestow life by the preaching of His Gospel “to the children of man” (Prov. 8:4). He honors the Father, and the Father glorifies Him by raising Him from the dead, so that all who keep His Word “will never see death” (John 8:51).
Long ago, “father Abraham rejoiced” in the day of Christ, for “he saw it and was glad” (John 8:56). Though Christ was “crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men,” “God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death” (Acts 2:23, 24). As He “received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:33), so it is by and through the Son that God the Father pours out the Holy Spirit upon His Church.

The sending of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost was life-changing event. It was a milestone! Pentecost changed the lives of the twelve apostles. The mighty rushing wind, the tongues of fire, and then they began to speak in other tongues, other languages. In fact, everyone heard them speaking in his own native language, undoing the confusion of the Tower of Babel. The Spirit brought to the apostles’ remembrance all that Jesus had said to them, and they proclaimed it. It turned them from learners into preachers. And everyone was looking at them - some marveling and some mocking.
But clearly their lives had changed. Nothing was going to be the same again. And then there were the 3,000 that were baptized that day, and more after that. Pentecost was truly a life and world-changing event. The Holy Spirit that was poured out on that first Pentecost wasn’t just poured out that day - it is a pouring out that started on that day and hasn’t stopped since. That first Pentecost the Holy Spirit was poured out through the means of the mighty rushing wind and the tongues of fire. But after that He was poured out through the preaching of the Word and the water of Baptism that changes your life forever. Wherever Jesus as Savior is preached, the Holy Spirit is working.
Wherever the water of Baptism is poured out in the name of the triune God, the Holy Spirit is being poured out in that water. Changing lives. Creating faith in Jesus. Making children of God. Forgiving sins. And bestowing the gifts of peace and hope and holiness. Pentecost is a milestone!

Following the flood, Noah’s descendants failed to spread out and fill the earth as God had spoken. Rather, they exalted themselves; with “one language and the same words” (Gen. 11:1), they spoke proudly and arrogantly. The Lord humbled them by confusing “the language of all the earth,” dividing and dispersing the people (Gen. 11:9).
That dispersal was reversed on Pentecost Day (the 50th day of Easter), when God caused the one Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to be preached in a multitude of languages. “At this sound the multitude came together” (Acts 2:6), for the preaching of Christ is the primary work of the Holy Spirit, whereby He gathers people from all nations into one Church. The Holy Spirit teaches and brings to our remembrance the words of Jesus, which are the words of the Father who sent Him.
These words bestow forgiveness and peace to those who keep and hold on to them in love for Jesus. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (John 14:27).

We get to know one another through words. Words not only have meaning but also give meaning to our conversations. Likewise, we learn about God and His love for us in Christ through words, His words that, unlike ours, give and bestow what they say. The Lord’s words bring us into His presence, embrace us with His love, and give us the goodness of His life and peace. It is how we and others not only get to know Him, but also how we intimately relate to Him as His bride, the church. Furthermore, it is how we as a church go about making known the love of Christ. We read, hear, sing, and pray His words so that as Jesus says, “we may become perfectly one.”

On the night when He was betrayed, Jesus interceded for His Church — for His apostles and all who believe in Him through their word — that all of His disciples “may become perfectly one” in the Father and the Son (John 17:21–23).
For Jesus became flesh and dwells among us in order to reveal the Father and His name, to share with us the glory of His righteousness, and to bring us to the Father in Himself. As the Father loved the Son from “before the foundation of the world” (John 17:24), so He loves the whole world (John 17:23, 26).
Through the apostolic witness to the Baptism, cross and resurrection of Jesus (Acts 1:21–22), the Lord gathers His disciples throughout the world “with one accord” as one body in Christ (Acts 1:14). And so with one voice and by one Spirit, His Bride prays, “Come” (Rev. 22:17). And He comes to us. He gives us “the water of life without price” to wash our robes and quench our thirst (Rev. 22:17); He feeds us from “the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit” (Rev. 22:2).

In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. But how often does it seem that the world is overcoming Christians? Is overcoming the Church? Well, it seemed that way on the cross, too. It seemed that way when your friend and Savior was sealed in a tomb. Yet it’s true, what Jesus said. His resurrection proved it. He did overcome everything that the world and hell could throw at Him. But our prayers in this world and life come from Gethsemane, not from glory.
From tribulation, not from victory. Not yet, for us. But that’s why we pray. Because we’re children who need help. Because others need help. And we have a Father who has promised to give us what we ask for. Maybe it won’t be the way we think, maybe it won’t be when we think, maybe it won’t even be on this side of eternity.
But His promise is true. As true as the empty tomb. Remember what Jesus said to Thomas the Sunday after His resurrection, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29).

“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Jesus has opened the way to the Father so that “whatever you ask of the Father” in Jesus’ name, “he will give it to you” (John 16:23). We pray, therefore, in the confidence that we will be heard and answered, that our “joy may be full” (John 16:24).
We pray because the Gospel has been preached to us and the Lord has opened our hearts to believe the Gospel (Acts 16:10, 14). We pray in the name of Jesus because we have been baptized into Him, as Lydia and her household were baptized (Acts 16:15). We have been healed, and we live and walk and pray in newness of life (John 5:8–9).

We need to learn how to live. How to live this life. Which sounds funny, doesn’t it? For doesn’t life and living just come naturally? Well, no. Just as we need to teach our children how to live, so we need to learn how to live this life. This life of Christ. To stop looking for life in things that die, and learn how to be born anew each day, into the life of Christ. To realize that baptized into Christ, you are - as God told Peter - no longer common, but clean.
You may look common, average, like everybody else out there in the world; working for a living and trying your best. But baptized into Christ you are not common - you are a child of God. A treasured child. A loved child. No matter who you were or what you were, now you are different. For the Holy Spirit fell on you in those baptismal waters. Your sins were forgiven in those waters. You were given a new life in those waters. How can anyone, given such gifts and adopted by God, be common anymore?
Or live common anymore? Your life in Christ will last forever. It will be a life that goes from sorrow to joy for all eternity!

On earth “you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy” (John 16:20). Already the Spirit grants you peace and joy through the forgiveness of your sins. For by the cross of Christ, “God has granted repentance that leads to life” (Acts 11:18).
His Gospel is “a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household” (Acts 11:14). He gives freely “from the spring of the water of life” (Rev. 21:6), “and death shall be no more” (Rev. 21:4).
He dwells with His people, adorning His Church as a bride for her husband, “making all things new” (Rev. 21:5). Therefore, as the Son of Man is glorified by His cross, “and God is glorified in him” (John 13:31), so He is glorified in us by our “love for one another” (John 13:35), which His Spirit works in us by His grace.

: As a child you knew that if you were with your mother, you were in good hands. It means that you were safe and that you had everything you needed. On this Mother’s Day, we give thanks to God for the love and care that we have received from our moms. Likewise, when it comes to God, we’re in good hands. Our Lord stretched out His good hands on the cross for the life of the world.
With His good hands He cleanses us of everything that’s bad, feeds us with His goodness by putting His body on our tongues, and pouring His blood on our lips for our forgiveness. He holds onto us so tightly that not even death can snatch us out of His hands. Thank God you’re in good hands, the hands of God in Christ.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came from the Father and became flesh among us in order to rescue us, His sheep. He laid down His life for us and took it up again in order to give us eternal life. By the preaching of His Gospel, He calls His sheep to Himself and keeps them with Him forever. As they hear His voice and follow Him, “they will never perish” (John 10:28), for “no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand” (John 10:29).
In the same way, faithful pastors (literally, “shepherds”) “care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood” (Acts 20:28), “testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21). Therefore, with all the company of heaven, the Good Shepherd gathers His flock in worship, as they cry: “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” (Rev. 7:10).

And all means all. Not one left that you have to make up for. Not one left to weigh you down. Not one left to shame you or humiliate you or make you doubt. The cross has cancelled all your sin, so that you have the joy of forgiveness overflowing.
So that when life has you wrung out and hung out to dry, you be here refreshed and raised again. And that’s what happens to those seven disciples. From empty to filled, John calls out in joy to Peter, “It is the Lord!” And Peter, from sorrowful to joyful, jumps out of the boat to be with His Savior. And, I like to think, when Peter got to the shore, he gave Jesus a big, wet bear hug - which would have suited Jesus just fine, for that’s how He likes us: soaking wet from living in the joyful waters of our baptism.
Soaking wet from jumping into those waters every day, as every day we confess our sins and receive our Lord’s forgiveness. As every day we are born again as children of God. As every day we remember and rejoice in the life and grace our Savior gives to us.

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain” (Rev. 5:12), who by His cross has conquered sin and death. With His blood, He has “ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Rev. 5:9).
This same Lord Jesus visits people of all nations and calls them to Himself by the Gospel, even as He “was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead” (John 21:14). He restored Simon Peter to faith and life and commissioned him to feed His lambs and tend His sheep (John 21:15–17).
Likewise, He revealed Himself to Saul of Tarsus and brought him to repentance, so that the persecutor of Jesus might carry and confess His name “before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel” (Acts 9:15).

The disciples were scared. They didn’t know what to think or what to do. The women, Peter, and John had all seen the empty tomb. Yet, if Jesus had risen from the dead then where was He? The Jews were definitely out there, and they would be coming after them next. In addition, their sin in abandoning Jesus had caused their conscience to weigh heavy on them, and it condemned them.
They had been robbed of their peace, but not by anything outside or inside of them as you might think. Peace isn’t taken from us by troubles nor is it given to us by a lack of troubles. What robs us of peace is unbelief. It’s a lack of faith. It’s the thought that the bad things that are happening around us and in us are more powerful than God. It’s the thought that God cannot or will not protect us from troubles, deliver us from them, or use them for His good, and ours. Unbelief robbed the disciples of peace.
Jesus knew it, and that’s why He went to them. He went there to make believers out of them. Likewise, unbelief robs us of peace. It’s why He comes here, too, by His Spirit at work through His word. Jesus is here to make believers out of us.

On the Lord’s Day, St. John the apostle was given a revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last. He is the Living One, “the firstborn of the dead” (Rev. 1:5). He died for all people, and behold, He is alive forevermore! Therefore, He has “the keys of Death and Hades” (Rev. 1:18).
For His death atoned for sin and conquered death, and in His resurrection, He opened the kingdom of heaven to us. The “sharp two- edged sword” of His mouth (Rev. 1:16) calls you to “believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,” that by such faith “you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). To that end, He sends His ministers of the Word, as the Father sent Him, “to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins” (Acts 5:31).

The Lord has promised to “create new heavens and a new earth” (Is. 65:17), in which His people shall abide in peace and joy. That new creation has begun in the bodily resurrection of Christ Jesus. All the baptized belong to that new creation. Reborn of water and the Holy Spirit, they are “the offspring of the blessed of the LORD” (Is. 65:23). The Lord rejoices and is glad in them; He hears and answers their prayers. For “if in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied” (1 Cor. 15:19).
But Christ Jesus has been raised, “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20). We may be “perplexed about this” (Luke 24:4), perhaps even frightened and brought to our knees, because it seems like an “idle tale” (Luke 24:11). But faith clings to the Word of Christ and finds His resurrected body — not in the tomb, but in His Holy Supper.

Things in life can change in a moment. And often do. They did, for you, when you were baptized. At that moment, the One who is always in control made you His son, His daughter, and said: Father, forgive him; forgive her. And: you will be with me in Paradise. At that moment, Jesus took you into His death and resurrection, to give you new life and hope. At that moment, Jesus took everything He has and everything He did and gave it to you.
And He made you a promise. He said: That’s never going to change. I won’t take it back. You can refuse my gift. Leave me at the altar as a jilted Bridegroom in favor of your life of sin. But I will not ever take back my promises, my vows, to you. When you need mercy, I will be here for you. When you need forgiveness, I will be here for you.
When you need life, I will be here for you. I gave my life for you, and I am still am giving my life to you. Here. Take it. Eat it and drink it. My Body and Blood. It’s here for you. I am here for you. Always. And that’s never going to change.

The King of Israel comes into His royal glory by the path of humble obedience “to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Phil. 2:8). He “goes as it has been determined” (Luke 22:22), according to the Scriptures, willingly submitting to His Father’s plan for the salvation of sinners. “Therefore, God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name” (Phil. 2:9).
His suffering and death open the way of repentance for the forgiveness of sins because He goes to the cross bearing the sins of the world. In His resurrection, God the Father vindicates His people and has compassion on His servants (Deut. 32:36). He kills to make alive; He wounds in order to heal. In remembrance of Him, we praise God, confessing “that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Phil. 2:11).

Here’s the harsh Lenten reality: the old Adam hates to be saved. Our sinful nature resists it. We too are like those ungrateful tenants who have been given much and yet withhold the harvest from God. We too reject the prophets and their word. Oh we don’t have to beat them up, we can just tuck their books away on a shelf and ignore what they have to say to us.
We too will find Jesus to be a nuisance to our own religious notions as He poked holes in our perfection, insisting on our need to repent, to be forgiven, to trust. Who really wants to be broken? Who wants to admit helplessness? But the wonder of wonders is that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. While we were yet God’s enemies, He reconciled us to His Father.
While we were no better than those murderous tenant in God’s vineyard, God made peace through the death of His beloved Son. While we were dead in our sins, dead in Adam, God made us alive to Himself in Christ – buried us with Him in Jesus’ death, raised us to life in Jesus’ resurrection, seated us in glory in Jesus. In God’s completely upside-down way of doing things, the parable turns out to be true – the inheritance is gained through the death of the beloved Son.

Our life and works apart from Christ, no matter how they may glitter to the eyes of the world, are ultimately rubbish and have no righteousness. Rather, in the scandalous cross of Jesus we find our righteousness alone “through faith in Christ” (Phil. 3:9). By such faith, we “know him and the power of his resurrection” (Phil. 3:10).
For the same God who brought Israel out of Egypt has done a “new thing” for us in Christ Jesus (Is. 43:19). He has sent His beloved Son into His vineyard to be killed by sinful men and to become “the stone that the builders rejected.” Yet, the One rejected by men “has become the cornerstone” of His Church (Luke 20:17).
Through the waters of Holy Baptism, He provides us daily refreshment in our earthly pilgrimage, “a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” (Is. 43:19).

When someone asks, “What do you want from me?” often they are questioning your motives. They believe you have a selfish reason for approaching them and they are asking what it is. When things go wrong, we might ask the same thing of God, “What do you want from me?” To our surprise, all God really wants from us is to receive His love.

God the Father has opened His heart to us in love. While we were “still a long way off,” He saw us and “felt compassion” (Luke 15:20). Therefore, He gave His only begotten Son for us, making “him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Cor. 5:21).
By the ministry of reconciliation, He runs to us, embraces us in mercy and clothes us with His glory as beloved sons in Christ Jesus. And so we give thanks unto the Lord our God, who has taken away our sins and turned His anger from us (Is. 12:1). Because He has become our salvation, our strength and our song, we “will trust, and will not be afraid” (Is. 12:2).

“Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3, 5). By this warning, the Lord would turn us away from wickedness and bring us to life in Himself. For He is patient with us, that we not be cut down in our sin but live and bear fruit in Him.

Lent is a time of self-examination. Lent is a time of taking a good, long, hard, and honest look at ourselves. Even more it is about the hope that we have, the Savior that we have, who has come to rescue us from sin, death and eternal salvation.
The truth is that our hope is not in ourselves, in our efforts, in our achievements, or on how well we can change ourselves. Our hope is in the light of our Savior’s forgiveness and His light which shines into our dark and not-good-enough lives. To raise and resurrect us who are dead and fruitless in our trespasses and sins to a new life in Him.

The people in Jeremiah’s day and in Jesus’ day, too, thought of the temple as their sanctuary and Jerusalem as their sanctuary city. They believed that in those places, nothing could harm them! Not so, both Jeremiah and Jesus proclaim.
Rather, Jesus is the sanctuary. In Jesus, under His wings, we are safe. You see, what made the temple a sanctuary, and Jerusalem a sanctuary city, was not the building or the city, but the one who was in them. The gracious God who was there to forgive. The gracious God who had now come in the flesh and blood of Jesus.
And so in Him, we are safe. No matter the city, no matter the country, no matter whether alive or dead. Jesus’ reign and power and authority are over all.

The prophet Jeremiah faithfully preached “all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people” (Jer. 26:8). He called the people to repentance, lest the Lord's judgment come upon them.
The violence that Jeremiah suffered for this preaching foreshadowed the cross and Passion of Christ Jesus, who suffered the judgment of God for the redemption of all people. For Jesus “comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:35) in order to lay down His life for the sins of the world. Earthly Jerusalem was blind to His gracious visitation, and so put Him to death like the prophets before Him.
Yet, His sacrifice upon the cross was the cornerstone of the new Jerusalem, His Church. He visits us today in mercy with His preaching of forgiveness, to gather us to Himself within that holy city, “as a hen gathers her brood under her wings” (Luke 13:34). For “our citizenship is in heaven” (Phil. 3:20).

Chaos is a gaping void; empty, immeasurable space, an abyss, or a state of utter confusion and disorder. In Genesis, it was the void at the beginning of creation, the confused, formless, elementary state of the universe. In the beginning God created the heavens and earth by filling the void with ordered life, created, shaped, and formed by the word of the Lord.
But Adam and Eve’s rejection of the word of God in favor of the lie of the devil corrupted all of creation and brought confusion, disorder, and death into what God had made, a deep chasm that only God could fill. So God sent Jesus into the world to fill the abyss generated by sin and death.
This would be done by His taking our sin into Himself and overcoming it for us and for all creation in His death and resurrection. The temptation of Jesus is an attempt to stop Him. But there’s no stopping Jesus who remains true to His word, as He fulfills the will of our Father in heaven to restore life and order to all of God’s creation.

Jesus Christ, our champion against the devil, endures and overcomes “every temptation” (Luke 4:13) on our behalf. He worships the Lord, His God, and serves Him only by trusting the Word of His Father: “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased” (Luke 3:22). Jesus’ victory is now ours through His gracious Word, which is not far away but near us — in our mouth and in our heart, in the proclamation of repentance and faith. For “with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved” (Rom. 10:10).
Our confession of Christ includes the prayer of faith, which is not disappointed, “for ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved’” (Rom. 10:13). The Lord is not oblivious to “our affliction, our toil, and our oppression” (Deut. 26:7), but has mercy upon us. He has brought us out of bondage through the “signs and wonders” of Holy Baptism, “with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm” (Deut. 26:8), and now He leads us by His Spirit even in the wilderness.

Someone who identifies as transgender does not feel at home in his or her body. If you think about it, sooner or later none of us do. Our bodies, imperfect since the fall of humanity, are not what they were created to be, and not yet what they are redeemed to be. This doesn’t mean that we can reconstruct them. In fact, all attempts to change who we are into someone we might erroneously think is a better “me,” will fail.
In the Transfiguration of our Lord, we see that Jesus is not only God Himself in the flesh, but also the perfect human being. He comes today by His Spirit at work through His Word to transform both our bodies and souls with His perfect body and blood given and shed for us for the forgiveness of our sins. God’s transfiguration of you in Christ will be complete on the day of the resurrection of your body for life everlasting in the glory of God.

“Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant,” but Christ Jesus “has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses” (Heb. 3:3, 5). A beloved and well- pleasing Son, faithful even to the point of death, Jesus’ own body was raised up on the third day as the house of God, and He has brought us into that house through the waters of Holy Baptism (Heb. 3:6). Thus, it was not Moses, the lawgiver, but his successor, Joshua (the Hebrew name for Jesus), who led the people into the Promised Land (Deut. 34:1–4, 9).
Now, on the Mount of Transfiguration, the New Testament Joshua appears in the glory that He is about to manifest by His “departure” (exodus) in Jerusalem (Luke 9:31). Having entered the waters of the Jordan in His Baptism, He passed through those waters and entered into glory by His cross and Passion. What He thereby accomplished in His own flesh and blood, crucified and risen, He reveals and gives to His Body, the Church, by the means of His Word. Therefore, the Father declares from heaven, “Listen to him!” (Luke 9:35).

Your inheritance as a child of Adam is sin and death, but in Christ you are made alive through His resurrection from the dead (1 Cor. 15:21–22). As you have died with Him in Holy Baptism, so are you raised with Him to newness of life. Therefore, “do not go on sinning” (1 Cor. 15:34).
Instead of serving your desires and harming your neighbors, live as “sons of the Most High,” and “be merciful, even as your Father is merciful” (Luke 6:35–36). Deal with others as you would have others deal with you (Luke 6:31, 37–38). As Christ loved you when you were at enmity with Him, as He blessed and prayed for those who abused Him, and as He did good to those who hated Him and hurt Him, so also “love your enemies, do good” (Luke 6:27–29, 35).
For God sent His Son to bear the cross and suffer death, not to condemn the guilty, but “to preserve life.” So does He provide a place for you within His Church, where He is near and deals kindly with “you and your children and your children’s children” (Gen. 45:5–10).

We’ve all heard the advice, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Today, as we examine the blessings and woes Jesus lays out for us, we would be wise not to judge a life by its cover. There is so much more going on in people’s lives than meets the eye. Our superficial way of looking at things often leads us to miss the profound ways in which God is richly blessing us, even, and maybe especially, in suffering, or when we lack an abundance of the things of this world. So don’t judge a life by its cover. Things are not always as they seem.

“Cursed is the man who trusts in man,” for all the strength of his flesh is like the grass that fades away (Jer. 17:5). The one who turns away from the Lord may have food and money and laugh for now, but he “shall mourn and weep” in the judgment (Luke 6:24–25). But “the man who trusts in the LORD” is blessed with all that he needs, “like a tree planted by water.” When heat comes, he survives (Jer. 17:7–8).
For the Lord has come in the flesh to heal the people of all their diseases, to cleanse their spirits with forgiveness, and to preach the Gospel of the kingdom of God to the poor (Luke 6:18–20). As all of this is by way of His cross, it is solely by faith in the promise of His resurrection that Christians “rejoice” and “leap for joy” (Luke 6:21–23).
“If Christ has not been raised,” our faith is in vain and we are most to be pitied (1 Cor. 15:14–19). But, in fact, just as “Christ died for our sins,” so has He also “been raised from the dead” (1 Cor. 15:3, 20).

If there’s one emotion, we as Christians know well, it’s despair. We can relate to Simon Peter in today’s Gospel. “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing!” I worked my tail off and everything still failed. I gave my children the finest Lutheran education, devotions every night, youth group events every time they were offered, and they still rejected the Faith when they got to college, and not just rejected it, but now they’re hostile about it!
I saved and pinched pennies my entire working life and the stock market volatility seems to be spoiling my retirement, when I’m ready to retire, I don’t know if the market will enough for me to be able to retire. I took vitamins, exercised, skipped eating red meat and fast food and I still have cancer. I try with dieting follow the program and I still can’t lose those extra pounds. I read every assigned reading, thoroughly researched for every paper, and studied till all hours for every exam and still managed to end the school year with straight B’s.
I gave my marriage all I had and we still got divorced. I increased my personal devotional life—prayer and the reading of Scripture and coming to church—and I still lust after one who is not my spouse, am given to fits of rage, am filled with hate. We all know well what it’s like to recite this litany of despair. We look around us, we look inside of us, and we see that there is nothing good, nothing but reasons to despair. We want to take Jesus at His Word—try again and see if the results are different. But everything comes up wrong, against us, and often, worse than it was before.
But in these times when despair threatens to gain the upper hand, we have no choice but to cling to the Lord and His gracious promises. We have the example of Simon Peter. He doesn’t want to listen to the Lord, but he does, and finds out that the Lord always keeps His promises. And that is the same thing we find here in the Divine Service. Our environments, our emotions, our feelings, our reason all deceive us, so we must hear, over and over again, the Word of the Lord repeating the promises He has made from the beginning.

When Isaiah “saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up,” he was overcome with an awareness of his sin and “unclean lips” (Is. 6:1, 5). But the Lord atoned for his sin, took away his guilt and sanctified his lips with “a burning coal” from the altar (Is. 6:6–7).
Not only was he rescued from death, but he was called and sent as a prophet of the Lord’s Word (Is. 6:8–9). Similarly, when Simon Peter and his companions “enclosed a large number of fish” at the Word of Jesus, he humbled himself and said, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man” (Luke 5:4–8). But Jesus comforted Simon, called him to discipleship and declared that he would be “catching men” (Luke 5:10–11).
So in the Office of the Ministry, the Church remains the little boat from which Jesus teaches His people (Luke 5:3). Thus are we instructed in the faith, so that we say “Amen” and return thanks with heart, mind, tongue and life. For the preaching of Christ Jesus is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit, by which He builds up His Church on earth (1 Cor. 14:12–19).

Our faith is not in our faith. It is in the first-hand knowledge of God made manifest to us in and through the God Man, Jesus Christ. Yet, our faith is more than knowledge. You can have knowledge of someone without having a relationship. As James notes, “Even the demons believe in God.” The demons know who Jesus is but have nothing to do with Him. Likewise, Jesus doesn’t want us to have anything to do with the demons. It’s why He silences them. In addition to knowledge, faith has to do with ascent.
Does this information raise our understanding? For example, does who Jesus is and what He does raise us up to a better understanding of the identity of God? Finally, when we are looking at something that cannot be reproduced, an historical fact, we determine if the source is trustworthy. All knowledge is worthless if we do not trust that which we know. Trust allows us to use our knowledge for our benefit. If we don’t believe it, or, in other words, receive it, it does us no good.
Jesus’ preaching then, and now, is an epiphany of God we can trust that not only reveals who God is, but it connects us with Him and each other in a relationship that lasts forever.

Jesus was sent to “preach the good news of the kingdom of God” (Luke 4:43). His preaching is an epiphany, or manifestation, of God because His Word reveals the authority of His cross and resurrection, by which He has atoned for the sins of the world.
By the preaching of His Gospel in every place, He silences the unclean spirits and casts out demons, heals the diseases of body and soul, and restores life and health to His creation (Luke 4:40–41). For the sake of His divine love, He is “patient and kind” toward us; He “bears all things,” “endures all things” and delivers up His body to save us (1 Cor. 13:3–4, 7).
So also for the sake of His love, He calls and sends His prophets, as ministers of His Word, “to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant” (Jer. 1:10).

Jesus has gifts for you. He has come here to this church, today, and has spoken to you. And not only spoken to you, but shined the light of His love upon you, washing you, forgiving you, feeding you, and giving you life. He comes to you, when you’re poor because you’ve spent your life chasing what doesn’t last.
He comes to you, when you’re captive to your sinful urges and desires. He comes to you, when you’re blinded by the glory of this world and deafened by the so-called wisdom of this world. He comes to you, when you’re oppressed by satan, and by others satan uses in his oppressive regime in this dark world.
Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing for Jesus is here with all His gifts for you. To shine upon you. To proclaim to you a year, a lifetime, an eternity of the Lord’s favor.

When Jesus opens His mouth to preach, gracious words flow from His lips. The Scriptures are, indeed, fulfilled in your hearing (Luke 4:21–22). For Christ was anointed by the Spirit of the Lord “to proclaim good news to the poor,” “to proclaim liberty to the captives,” and “to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor” (Luke 4:18–19).
By this proclamation, Christ releases His people from captivity and gathers them to Himself in His Church. So it was when the Lord released His people from Babylon and returned them to Jerusalem. “Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people,” sanctified the whole congregation by the reading and preaching of the Law (Neh. 8:8–9).
As the people then were urged to “eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready” (Neh. 8:10), so are you anointed by the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ to share in His feast and to serve the fellow members of His Body with His good gifts, “giving greater honor to the part that lacked it” (1 Cor. 12:12, 24).

“Do whatever He tells you.” That’s right up there with “Because I said so.” Quite frankly, we don’t like being told what to do. We don’t like it when someone says, “Do your homework,” or “do your job.”
We’d rather listen to our inner voice and do what we tell ourselves. But that’s not what Mary does even though, as Jesus’ mom, it’s what we would expect. Mary doesn’t say, “Do whatever I tell you,” but she says, “Do whatever He tells you.” She knows that Jesus is not just a good son, a special talent, or someone knowledgeable about how to get things done in any given circumstance. He’s not just her son, He’s the Son of God, God Himself in the flesh.

When Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding in Cana, it was “the first of his signs” by which He “manifested his glory” (John 2:11). It pointed to His coming “hour,” when He was lifted up on the cross for the forgiveness of sins and the life of the world (John 2:4; 12:23–32).
The glory of the cross is incomprehensible apart from the Word and Spirit of God, but disciples of Jesus recognize that glory in the signs of His Gospel, and so they believe in Him. Jesus does not wait for His disciples to discover Him on their own, but He seeks out the forsaken and the desolate and unites them to Himself.
He adorns them with His own beautiful righteousness and delights in them “as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride” (Is. 62:4–5). Purified by the washing of water with His Word in Holy Baptism, His disciples confess that “Jesus is Lord,” and they return thanks to Him “in the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. 12:3) as they drink the good wine that He pours out for them, which is the new testament in His blood.

There are a lot of problems in this world, and they don’t seem to be going away any time soon. But your baptism transcends all of that. Like Jesus, you are in this world but citizens of another. You are a child of God!
We are all dying, but we are really going from this life to eternal life. God calls a thing what it is, and so should we. Listen to His Word! It is the only thing that is certain and sure in this world. In this world there is disease, political unrest, division, inequality, prejudice, confusion, fear, and death, but you have what is most sure and true – His Word and His Body and Blood and that is all that you need! In these means of grace Jesus is here.
The Son of God who stepped into the flesh, who stepped into the Jordan, who stepped up to the cross, who stepped forth from the grave, now steps down to you here in this water, in these words, and in this bread and wine to give you forgiveness of sins, life and salvation.

The Baptism of our Lord is an “Epiphany” of the one true God in the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. In divine mercy, He takes His place with sinners and takes their sin upon Himself. “When all the people were baptized,” Jesus submitted Himself to a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins (Luke 3:21).
He had no sins of His own, but He took the sins of the world upon Himself and so was baptized into His own death. Therefore, “when you pass through the waters,” He is with you (Is. 43:2). He created you for His glory, and He has redeemed you with His blood, that you may be His own and live with Him in His Kingdom (Is. 43:1, 7). As you are baptized with a baptism like His, so also are you united with Him in His death and resurrection that you “might walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4).
For all who are baptized into Christ Jesus receive His anointing of the Holy Spirit and are named by His Father as beloved and well-pleasing sons and daughters.

Think of your faith as acting like a solar panel. A solar panel works by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity.
Likewise, the solar panel of faith, configured by the Holy Spirit, allows the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ into our lives, sets us from our sin, and generates the “electricity” of our love for God and others. Today we witness the solar panel of faith at work in the wisemen.

The Feast of the Epiphany centers in the visit of the Magi from the East. In that respect, it is a “Thirteenth Day” of Christmas; yet, it also marks the beginning of a new liturgical season. While Christmas has focused on the incarnation of our Lord — that is, on God becoming flesh — the season of Epiphany emphasizes the manifestation or self-revelation of God in that same flesh of Christ. The Lord Himself has entered our darkness and rises upon us with the brightness of His true light (Is. 60:1–2).
He does so chiefly by His Word of the Gospel, which He causes to be preached within His Church on earth — not only to the Jews but also to Gentiles (Eph. 3:8–10).
As the Magi were guided by the promises of Holy Scripture to find and worship the Christ Child with His mother in the house (Matt. 2:5–11), so does He call disciples from all nations by the preaching of His Word to find and worship Him within His Church (Is. 60:3–6). With gold, they confess His royalty; with incense, His deity; and with myrrh, His priestly sacrifice (Matt. 2:11).

A leap of faith is generally understood to mean a belief in something with no evidence for it or to believe in someone whose existence cannot be proved. Yet, that’s not what we find going on with John the Baptist today.
His leap of faith is caused by the visitation of someone outside of the womb, someone outside of himself, namely, God in the flesh of Jesus. “When Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb.” Why? It was because Mary was carrying Jesus, who is called Emmanuel, for in Him God is with us.
Mary greeted Elizabeth and John leaped for joy in the womb because God’s word brings joy and peace. Likewise, you are greeted here in the church today at the gracious visitation of our Lord by His Spirit at work through His Word. You are greeted with the words, “the Lord be with you,” and you leap with the joy of faith in the God who comes to redeem you.

The Fourth Sunday in Advent turns our attention toward the nativity of our Lord. With Mary, we await the coming of the Christ, her Son, conceived in her womb by the Spirit of God. As the Lord dealt graciously with her and did great things for her (Luke 1:48–49), so also He manifests Himself and His glory to us in mercy and gentleness.
He comes to rule His people in peace, to “shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD.” He comes forth not from the great capital city of Rome or Jerusalem, but from lowly little Bethlehem (Micah 5:2, 4). He comes to sacrifice Himself, in fulfillment of His Father’s will, for the salvation and sanctification of His people (Heb. 10:10).
He who once visited Elizabeth while hidden in the womb of Mary (Luke 1:39–45) now comes to visit us today, hidden in the lowliness of simple water, bread, and wine.

Advent is the countdown to the day the Lord comes among us. Please join me in the countdown…10, 9, 8…We have lift off, it’s the Advent of our God! The Lord, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, has come to save us. But John isn’t so sure. Jesus isn’t doing what John expected of the Christ.
“Houston, we have a problem!” John’s still in prison, everyone still struggles with sin, and death is still at the door. So John sends his disciples to ask Jesus whether He is, indeed, the Christ. Jesus answered, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have the good news preached to them” (Luke 7:22). What did you expect?

The Third Sunday in Advent has traditionally been called by the Latin word Gaudete, meaning “Rejoice!” For as you are called to repentance, so also are you urged to rejoice in the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ. By His own cross, He has accomplished salvation for you; “he has cleared away your enemies,” “taken away the judgments against you” and come to reign in your midst. Indeed, He rejoices over you with gladness and song (Zeph. 3:15–17)!
Therefore, even from prison St. Paul encourages us to “rejoice in the Lord always,” knowing that the peace of God will guard and keep us in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:4, 7). We find an example and encouragement in the case of John the Baptist. As he languishes in prison, he calls upon Jesus and is strengthened by the Word of the Gospel that he receives.
The same good news is preached to you, by which all things are made new and even “the dead are raised up” (Luke 7:22). Do not be offended by the cross, therefore, but let your life be one of prayer and thanksgiving (Luke 7:23; Phil. 4:6).

Stir up our hearts, O Lord. Stir them up like a pot of soup, and get all that junk, all that sin, that has settled deep down in our hearts, and stir it up! Make us uncomfortable. Help us see our sin that we may repent.
Because the Lord is coming. Yes, He is coming, and we need to be ready. So our Father sends His messenger, John the Baptist to do just that for us. He comes to us in Advent every year. Do not be like Herod, rejecting the voice and throwing him out of his heart and into prison! Repent. Receive His forgiveness.
Come to His Table. For while Christmas comes but once a year, your Savior comes for you every day, to make you new and whole and free.

The preaching and Baptism “of repentance for the forgiveness of sins” (Luke 3:3) prepare us for the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ. The historic work of John the Baptist was completed with the first advent of our Lord Jesus in the flesh, but the ministry of the forerunner continues in the preaching of Law and Gospel and in Holy Baptism.
Through His messengers, the Lord calls people of all nations to “see the salvation of God” (Luke 3:6). Our haughtiness is removed and our mountains of pride are brought low, but the Lord humbles us in order to exalt us in His mercy. As the Lord has begun this good work of repentance in us, so also does He perfect it by His Word and Holy Spirit, and He “will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6).
He purifies us to be His priestly people, precious in His sight and abounding in faith and love, so that we offer our very lives in righteousness to the Lord (Mal. 3:3–4).

Advent is a time of waiting! We wait for the celebration of Jesus’ first coming at Christmas. We wait and contemplate Jesus’ second coming. We wait for the happy reunion with Christ Jesus in heaven and with all those who have gone on ahead of us in the faith.
As you wait, consider your vocation as a gift from God to you and to your neighbor. As you wait, faithfully work, pray, love and care for your family, friends and neighbors all the while knowing that God uses these endeavors for His glory and your neighbor’s benefit. There is nothing so small and seemingly insignificant that it isn’t of interest and use to God.
From trimming a donkey’s hooves to shoveling his manure out of the stall right up to running a company and caring for the needs of hundreds of employees, God takes the work you do and makes it a benefit to others.

The season of Advent focuses on the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and this first Sunday establishes this theme for the rest of the season. The Son of God came long ago to be our Savior, “a righteous Branch” descended from David (Jer. 33:15).
As He then came into Jerusalem, riding on a lowly donkey to sacrifice Himself for the sins of the world (Luke 19:28-40), so does He come to His Church today in the humility of Word and Sacrament to deliver the fruits of His Passion: the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
He absolves us and establishes our hearts “blameless in holiness before our God and Father” (1 Thess. 3:13). The same Lord Jesus, who came to Jerusalem then and who comes to us now in peace, will come again with power and great glory on the Last Day. Then there will be “distress of nations in perplexity,” with “people fainting in fear.”
Yet, as we anticipate that great and terrible day, He bids us to rest securely in Him: “Raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:25, 26, 28).

What are you looking forward to? Many are looking forward to Thanksgiving break and getting together with family and friends. Maybe you’re looking forward to a new job, to finishing school, or going on a vacation.
The Introit for today reminds us that as Christians we can look forward to a new heaven and a new earth, to living in the home of righteousness for eternity. It’s the place where righteousness is not just an occasional guest that comes and goes, or pops in now and then, but where everything is always good and right. It’s the place where there no sin, no death, no injustice, no division, or separation.
The place where everything is as it is supposed to be. It will not just be the home of righteousness, it will be our home, too. It is a home we can look forward to living in for eternity.

The signs of the end are all around us, constant reminders that “heaven and earth will pass away.” But all of these signs are centered in the cross of Christ, whereby He has conquered sin and death, that we might be raised with Him in righteousness through His Word of the Gospel, which “will not pass away” (Mark 13:31).
He is “the firstborn of the dead,” who in His great love “has freed us from our sins by his blood” (Rev. 1:5). His salvation is certain because “his dominion is an everlasting dominion” and His kingdom “shall not be destroyed” (Dan. 7:14).
For this purpose, He came into the world, to reign in love through His voice of the Gospel, which is the truth (John 18:37). So is the righteousness of Christ “a light to the peoples,” which “will never be dismayed” because it is the justice of His cross and resurrection (Is. 51:4–6).
As He “is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory,” so wait upon “the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life” (Jude 20–24).

Jesus says, “See that no one leads you astray. Be on your guard.” The devil and the world attack our faith in Christ every day. We have many doubts and anxieties. As these things touch you and strike you and torture you, Jesus says, “Do not be anxious.” And here’s why.
In the midst of a world that is going from bad to worse and in the midst of all of the conditions and situations and circumstances that surround you, “the gospel is being preached to all nations.” Christ has overcome the devil.
Christ forgives you all of your sins. Christ is with you to the end of the age. Christ is working all things for good in the lives of those who love Him. Christ is in you and you are in Christ and nothing will separate His love from you.

Despite its “wonderful stones” and “great buildings,” the Jerusalem temple would be torn down, with not one stone left upon another, just as this present world and its kingdoms will come to an end (Mark 13:1–8). But that temple pointed beyond itself to Christ, to His sacrifice upon the cross and to the resurrection of His body as the true Temple of God. In the midst of sin and death, by the proclamation of the Gospel, He now gathers disciples into His body, wherein “the one who endures to the end will be saved” (Mark 13:10–13).
For He is “a great priest over the house of God,” who “will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” By the pure water of His Baptism, they “draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,” and by His flesh and blood, they enter the Holy of Holies (Heb. 10:17–22). Thus are His people delivered, “everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.” For by the wisdom of His Gospel, He turns “many to righteousness,” so that “many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake” to everlasting life (Dan. 12:1–3).

The phrase “follow the money”, refers to the fact that people do things, including bad things, mainly to benefit themselves. So, if you want to find out what they did and why, as the phrase reminds us, “follow the money.” Due to our fallen nature, we are always asking ourselves, “what’s in it for me?” What benefit is there for me by engaging in a particular action?
Today, on All Saints’ Day, we are encouraged to “follow the blood.” Follow the blood of Jesus Christ which flows from His side to the altar and from there into the chalice, and from there into the mouths, hearts, and lives of God’s saints. Follow the blood and see how God’s people in Christ are made “living sacrifices” to benefit not themselves, but others.

“A great multitude … from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages,” cry out, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne” (Rev. 7:9–17). Faith-filled saints from every place and time, with unified voices, eternally magnify the Lamb of God. As His beloved children, we, too, “shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:1–3).
Joined with the throng of angels and myriad saints, we shall “serve him day and night in his temple” (Rev. 7:9–17). In our earthly tension vacillating between saint and sinner, faith and doubt, sacred and profane, we earnestly seek Jesus to calm our fears, comfort our spirits and forgive our sins. The Holy Spirit through faith in Christ propels us forward, fortifying us in Word and Sacrament, to our eternal home.
Amid our constant struggle as believers, we need to be blessed. And so, we are. The poor in spirit, the meek, the hungry, the thirsty, the merciful, the pure and the persecuted are all blessed, and we will most certainly inherit the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 5:1–12).

There is only one word that can fell the devil and still our fears and that is the Word made flesh - Jesus! The devil is a liar! But he is done! He has been defeated by Christ’s death and resurrection. Listen to the Word that Jesus speaks to you today! “Fear not! Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior who is Christ your Lord.” “Fear not! is Risen just as He said!”
He lives and reigns to all eternity. “The Word they still shall let remain nor any thanks have for it. He’s by our side upon the plain with His good gifts and Spirit. And take they all our life, goods fame, child and wife, though these all be gone our victory has been won. The Kingdom ours remaineth.” (LSB #656, vs. 4) Do not fear only believe! The Kingdom is yours!

“Wisdom is justified by her deeds” (Matt. 11:19), and the true Wisdom of God, Christ Jesus, the incarnate Son, has justified us by His deeds. He prepares His way by the preaching of repentance, but He has suffered the violence of the Law and voluntarily handed Himself over to violent men, that we might eat and drink with Him in His Kingdom and “remain in the house forever” (John 8:35).
He is “a friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Matt. 11:18–19), and He has rescued us by His grace from the slavery of sin and death. By the proclamation of His eternal Gospel “to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people” (Rev. 14:6), “the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law” (Rom. 3:21), “that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus” (Rom. 3:26). And by the hearing of that Gospel of Christ Jesus, “whom God put forward as a propitiation by His blood, to be received by faith” (Rom. 3:25), “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31–32).

Have you ever been in a point in your life when you couldn’t see? Maybe you were driving in the fog? Maybe it was the day when you were driving your car and you couldn’t see because you had a blind spot.
Our sinful flesh, the world, and the devil have all blinded us from seeing Jesus Christ, the true Light of the world. It is at these times that we must cry out with blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Jesus has mercy on us and opens our eyes again so that we might see clearly the path that leads to eternal life. God gives us the Eyes of Faith so the we might behold His glorious face and behold His wondrous love for us. “Go your way; your faith has made you well!”

As He did for blind Bartimaeus, so does the Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy upon you. With His Word of the Gospel, “he is calling you” to Himself, to “take heart,” to rise up and live by faith in His forgiveness. He opens your heart and mind to see and know God rightly in Him and to follow Him “on the way” of the cross and into life everlasting (Mark 10:49–52).
“He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him,” because He is the great High Priest, who offered Himself “once for all” as a sacrifice for sins. Since He is risen from the dead and “exalted above the heavens,” He “holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever,” and “he always lives to make intercession” for His people (Heb. 7:24–27).
Along with that, He gathers the children of God to Himself by the proclamation of His Gospel, even “from the farthest parts of the earth.” In mercy He calls them, by the waters of Holy Baptism, “in a straight path in which they shall not stumble,” unto life everlasting (Jer. 31:8–9).

“Who do you know wants to buy a car?” This phrase was part of an advertising campaign when I was growing up that caught peoples’ attention. It was everywhere, kind of like “One call, that’s all.” The owner of the car dealership wanted you and your friends to go to “Main Street in Menomonee Falls” so that you would purchase your cars from him. Today we might ask, “Who do you know wants to be saved?”
The rich young man wanted to be saved but didn’t like the price. Others don’t think they need to be saved while there are some who are considered not worth saving. Jesus wants all people to be saved, including you. It’s why He paid the price for our sin with His death. It’s why He comes here today to personally deliver this salvation to each and every one of us by His Spirit at work through His Word.

To love and trust in earthly wealth is vanity. For nothing of this earth will last forever, nor can any of it grant eternal life (Eccl. 5:10). But the one who trusts in God is “occupied with joy in his heart” and can sleep in peace, “whether he eats little or much,” because he knows that the “days of his life” are “the gift of God” (Eccl. 5:12, 18–20).
The person who trusts in riches cannot sleep, because he “shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand” (Eccl. 5:15). Therefore, it is difficult “for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God” (Mark 20:23).
Indeed, it is impossible for man, yet “all things are possible with God” (Mark 20:27). Thus, the Rich Man, Jesus Christ, has made Himself poor and has gone through “the eye of a needle,” through death and the grave, “to enter the kingdom of God” on our behalf (Mark 20:24–25).
He is the “great high priest who has passed through the heavens” (Heb. 4:14), so that we may now enter His Sabbath rest by faith in His forgiveness (Heb. 4:3–9).

Where am I going when I die? How will I get there? Any thoughtful person has asked such questions. In today's gospel lesson, a rich young man asks Jesus a similar question: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus' answer provides little comfort: “keep all the commandments, sell everything you have, and come follow me.”
The truth is, Jesus really means it. If we are seeking to save ourselves, absolute perfection is required. This is not good news! Look in the mirror. Do you see any perfection there?
Thanks be to God that Jesus did perfectly keep all the commandments, give up everything he had in heaven, and came to earth to follow his Father's will. Jesus now gives that perfection to you, that you may inherit eternal life.

The Lord is the Author and Giver of life, as well as a consuming fire of judgment against all “who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and turn aside the needy in the gate” (Amos 5:12). “Seek the LORD and live,” therefore, by hating what is evil, loving what is good and doing what is just and right, according to His Word. “And so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you” (Amos 5:6, 14–15).
Understand that “no one is good except God alone” (Mark 10:18). The life that you are called to live is found neither in your “great possessions,” nor in your good works, but only in Christ Jesus. Let go of “all that you have” and follow Him, even unto death, and “you will have treasure in heaven” (Mark 10:21–22).
Do not harden your heart against His voice, nor turn away from Him, lest you “fall away from the living God.” Rather, hear and heed His call, cling to His Word, and “exhort one another every day,” that you may remain steadfast in Christ and “firm to the end” (Heb. 3:12–15).

We must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it” (Hebrews 2:1). What we have heard is the Word of God. The Word spoken to us by God through His prophets, apostles, and evangelists.
We must pay closer attention to it. For if we do not, if we are not tethered to it, if the Word of God is not on our minds and in our hearts, if the Word of God is not our anchor holding us fast . . . then we will drift away from it and float aimlessly away God and each other. Moored to the Word of God, we have access to a love that never fails and a life with God and each other that never ends.

Humanity is created in the image and likeness of God. “It is not good that the man should be alone” (Gen. 2:18). For the Lord Himself is a perfect communion of three Persons — the Father, Son and Holy Spirit — in one God. Therefore, “the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs,” which “he made into a woman” and brought “to the man” (Gen. 2:21–22).
It is for this reason that “a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh” (Gen. 2:24; Mark 10:7). This great mystery of holy marriage signifies Christ Jesus, the incarnate Son of God, and His Bride, the Church. Divorce and all manner of adultery contradict and undermine this sign, and in doing so, they confess a false Christ and a false gospel. “What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate” (Mark 10:9).
In truth, Christ Jesus has atoned for all such sins, and He has perfected marriage in Himself “through suffering,” that He might bring “many sons to glory” in His resurrection (Heb. 2:8–10).

What is the very best thing you can do for others? How about this – pray for them. By praying for people in need, you give them God’s help, rather than human help. You give God's grace and nothing but His grace. Everything else we do is tainted by the evil in us, but not prayer. Any other help, no matter how generous, puts down those who are helped and leaves them in debt to the one who has helped them.
But not prayer! When we pray for others, we can do nothing evil but only good for them. We simply place them in God's hands and then withdraw. When we do that, they don't even know that we have prayed for them, unless we happen to tell them.
As James reminds us, “the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”

So who is the greatest? It is Jesus who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He came not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many! Jesus humbled Himself to become an embryo, a toddler, a teenager and a man for you. He had no sin but took all of our sin upon Himself, the sins of the whole world!
He came to fulfill all of the law completely and perfectly. He came to suffer and die and rise again to life so that you might receive the greatness of His forgiveness, His life and His salvation and His glory in heaven for all eternity! It is all by grace through faith in Jesus Christ!

“The sinful heart is filled with “bitter jealousy and selfish ambition” (James 3:14), which causes hostility, quarrels and conflicts, even among those who are fellow members of the body of Christ. This should not be so! Rather, God “opposes the proud” with His Law, in order to humble them unto repentance; He “gives grace to the humble,” in order to exalt them by His Gospel of forgiveness (James 4:6–10).
This true “wisdom from above” is found in the gentleness, mercy and peace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who humbled Himself and sacrificed Himself for the salvation of sinners (James 3:17). He was “like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter,” committing Himself to God, His Father, “who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind” (Jer. 11:19–20).
Therefore, “after three days,” His Father exalted Him by raising Him from the dead (Mark 9:31). In Holy Baptism, He takes disciples of all ages into His arms like little children. In receiving Him through repentance and faith in His forgiveness of sins, they receive from His Father a share in the glory of His cross and resurrection (Mark 9:36–37).

James writes in our epistle lesson, “No human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.” The tongue can bring joy or cause misery. Proverbs 18:21 puts it this way: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” The stakes are high. Your words can either speak life, or your words can speak death. Our tongues can build others up, or they can tear them down. In our Gospel reading for today, take note of how Jesus awakens everyone’s ears to hear as those who are taught so that they have tongues that “know how to sustain with a word him who is weary.”

Those who teach the Word of God “will be judged with greater strictness” (James 3:1) because it is by the Word that saving faith is obtained, whereas false doctrine always threatens to destroy Christian faith and life. The tongue “boasts of great things,” whether for good or evil (James 3:5).
In fallen man, “it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison” (James 3:8). But anyone who bridles his tongue with the Word of God, who “does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man” (James 3:2). It is Christ who opens His ear to the voice of His Father, so that, with “the tongue of those who are taught,” He is able to sustain the weary “with a word” (Is. 50:4–5). Entrusting Himself to His Father, even to death, He is not put to shame but is vindicated in His resurrection (Is. 50:6–9).
By His faith and faithfulness, He casts out the “mute and deaf spirit” from us (Mark 9:25). He has compassion on us and helps us, so that we are not destroyed but cleansed from every evil and raised up from death to life (Mark 9:22–27).
