The donkey serves Christ faithfully and nobly in surrendering its body to Christ’s service. He doesn’t look to Himself but looks to His master. The donkey that bears Christ walks safely under Christ without fear and anxiety. He does not fall victim to pride, failure, or error. Christ leads and guides Him by the bridle so He does not go astray. Christ curbs him so He does not run off into his conceit and presumption. If he falls, Christ lifts him back up. Christ corrects him with the rod if he is reluctant, idle, or lazy. He remains ever near Christ. And whatever honor is given to Christ is enjoyed by the donkey. Whatever good is done to Christ, the donkey also enjoys, whether it is garments, palm branches, singing, or praises.

The shepherds proclaimed what the Lord had done. Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart, later delivering them to St. Luke so that we, too, would hear and believe. So, all of it: the message of the Angel, the song of the heavenly host, the sign of the promise, and the promise Himself, Jesus, is given today for you, too. It all rings out in your ears, that you would hear, come, and see. Now, He wrapped up for you in bread and wine, but is the same Savior given to save you.

My brothers and sisters, as we ponder this mystery again, we are invited to also embrace the divine reversal, recognizing that in our lowly estates, we, too, are recipients of the angelic proclamation. The God who chose shepherds on the outskirts and the Magi from distant lands chooses us to partake in His grand narrative of rescue and respite.

John and Jesus are both also murdered unjustly for speaking the Word of God in an attempt to silence their calls to repentance. Here, too, John prepares the way for the One who is greater than he. His whole life and death is a finger that points us to Christ. John is beheaded for the sake of defending holy marriage. Jesus is crucified that He might claim all humanity anew and take each of us to be a part of His Bride, the Holy Church.

Children’s Program
Hymn: “What Child Is This?”
In the holy Name of + Jesus. Amen.
Children love to ask questions. Adults don’t always like answering them. Sometimes, the questions are absurd and don’t make sense. Sometimes, the answers are uncomfortable, and adults want to avoid answering. But as the children have heard me say, “There are no bad questions, only bad answers.”
An inquisitive and curious mind is God the Father’s gift. Teaching is the art of stimulating conversation and investigating life's little and big things. This is part of delighting in God’s creation. Even taxonomy can be fun, finding joy in naming the plants, animals, and stars. Who hasn’t looked at the clouds and asked, “What does that look like?” God’s gift of creation enchants us as children.
At some point, we’re told or conditioned to stop asking questions. What happened to the delight, joy, and discovery of learning something new? It’s sad, really. There’s so much to explore, pursue, enjoy, and delight in. And in learning and acknowledging that knowledge is a gift, we worship the giver of every good gift coming down from the Father of lights. Curiosity is a blessing, not a curse, no matter how many times the child asks the same question.
God’s Word is given for our delight, exploration, and investigation. Jesus wants us to wrestle with Him, asking questions and listening to His answers. Every day, we begin our school day by listening to Jesus’ Word and then asking questions. Sometimes, the Word doesn’t reveal the answer to our questions. Where Jesus is silent, we can’t do anything but speculate. Guessing doesn’t save us.
But some Jesus loves to have us ask Him questions about sin, death, faith, life, hope, and salvation. William Dix knew that when he wrote “What Child Is This?” one of his 300 hymns. Often used as a Christmas hymn, "What child is this?" begins with a four-phrase question, and stanza 2 has a two-phrase question, prompting the singer to answer them from the Scriptures.
“Jesus” is the answer in stanza 1, which is a survey of His nativity as He is greeted by angels “with anthems sweet” and by shepherds. Jesus is identified as Christ, King, and "son of Mary." We are to "bring Him laud," an uncommon but understandable word for "praise."
The answer to the question "Why lies He in such mean estate?" depends upon the meaning of the archaic and often confusing term "mean," understood here as "lowly," "inferior," or "humble." The "good Christian" observes this child in fear or reverent awe, for the Word made flesh asks us. He lies ignobly where animals feed in anticipation of His lowly, humble Passion, crucifixion, and death “for me, for you.” The line “the cross be borne” directs our hearts again to the purpose for which Christ was born.
Stanza 3 has no questions, but plenty of gifts are given in faith-filled response to the gift given by God in Christ, namely, salvation from sin, death, and the power of the devil. Faithful, loving hearts enthrone this King. The Wise Men brought three gifts: incense, gold, and myrrh. Everyone, from peasant to king, claims Him as his own, confessing Christ as Lord by faith.
“What Child Is This?” asks questions and directs us to the Scriptures for the answers. It encourages us to be children again, asking and inquiring from Jesus what His Christmas is all about. So, be children again. Explore, investigate, and delight as you hear the story of our Lord Jesus’s nativity again. And join in joyful song as Dix brings us back to a celebration of the birth of our Lord; for Jesus, the babe, the Son of Mary, was born to die so sinners live in Him.

The victory depends not on our faith but on Christ, to whom true faith holds fast. Therefore, a struggling faith, which feels weak, can be much stronger than a faith that feels strong because it relies on its experiences, feelings, and earlier victories (2 Cor 12:9-10). As soon as you take hold of faith, as if it comes by your reason or strength, it is no longer faith. Faith always has an object, someone, or something that you trust. And if it is not in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, it will find another god. If God permits us to fail, then he wants us to learn to rely entirely on Christ. As the Apostle directs us, “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?” (2 Cor 13:5).

In today’s Gospel, we see that intelligent, clever, and wise people will use God’s Law to misinform consciences and move far astray as to despise God’s word. Since in the Old Testament, the law was neither understood nor moderated according to love, God gave the people prophets who should explain the law not according to its strictness but according to charity. When you serve your neighbor and help him, you have kept the Sabbath right and well, even though you have done work on it, because you did a divine work. First, hear God’s Word in faith, and then His Spirit will work love in you for your neighbor.

Your baptized eyes see this as what is real. You don’t see as mere physical eyes see. You see the Lamb of God on his altar throne, giving His body and blood for you. You see Jesus standing in your midst, forgiving your sins. You see Jesus washing you with water, absolving and cleansing. You see Jesus in His pulpit proclaiming His Word, which alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And when your eyes now see that, you will see everything and everyone around you differently, too.

God in Jesus Christ is providing the promise. When he provides the promise, then He’s giving not just this world's bread and fish, but He is giving a Word that will not die. He is giving a word that creates you so that you yourself will not die. And therefore, you have soul care as well—Eternal life. And the church and her preachers, aren’t just setting before you a picnic for people and trying to feed their bellies. It’s okay to have a potluck, no doubt.
But we want to make sure that we’re giving the promises of Jesus to them so that they hear clearly that they are chosen by God, that Christ is present, that Christ is speaking, and that His promise is the thing now that will never leave you hungry.

You cannot serve God and the pursuit of happiness any more than you can serve God and life or freedom. And what does God do when your worship is not on him but on the gifts He gives? He takes them away. The unanimous witness of Moses, the Prophets, the Psalmists, Wisdom, Evangelists, and Apostles is that God removes whatever and whoever gets in the way of you trusting Him. Whether patriarchs, Israel, or Gentile, God ceases to give when the gift is received apart from praise and thanksgiving to Him.

The economy of the Christian Church is impossible and absurd. But that’s only to reason and experience. And it’s the voice of unbelief speaking. Jesus’s kingdom is not governed by power and wealth. It doesn’t mimic our poor attempts at community-building and providential care. Fundamentally it can’t because Christ’s kingdom is ruled by the very Word that made and kept making all things out-of-nothing. Jesus is the Word of the Father that said, “Let there be!” Matter can be created or destroyed but only by God the Creator.

The theological constitution of our congregation asserts: “Our churches teach that people cannot be justified before God by their own strength, merits, or works. People are freely justified for Christ’s sake, through faith, when they believe that they are received into favor and that their sins are forgiven for Christ’s sake. By His death, Christ made satisfaction for our sins. God counts this faith for righteousness in His sight (Romans 3 and 4 [3:21–26; 4:5].” (Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions, Augsburg Confession, Article IV, 33)

If we are to feed ourselves by the work of our hands, God's blessing must accompany it. If God is to bless our work, we must celebrate His Sabbath both inwardly and outwardly—because breaking the Sabbath is punished by the curse. Peter first loaned Christ his boat, and then he caught the great haul of fish, even though previously he had caught none. Therefore, take care first of your soul; take Christ into the little boat of your heart; let Him teach and work in it; then your work will be blessed. The Third Commandment comes first, and then the Seventh follows. Obedience to the Third Commandment should be first to us, for then we will follow the Seventh Commandment.

If the law of God or the commandments have helped us see that we do not live up to the standards and have no right to judge others, then they can aid us further in a matter that is even more important. They can become for us "a tutor to Christ" (Gal 3:24). They can teach us to begin to listen seriously to the Gospel. He who allows what compelling reason God has for judging him will begin to listen freshly to the Savior who does not judge—not because Jesus needs forgiveness and not because he had no occasion to judge, but because he has taken upon himself his brothers' destiny and has died in place of sinners.

Most of us have been with the flock since infancy by our Baptism, with the community of God's people, among whom is our safety and welfare. You can't be a member of the flock in isolation. A sheep that is separated from the flock is a lost sheep. Sometimes we have gone our own way, deserted the flock and the shepherd. Left to ourselves, we would perish, drugged and poisoned by the noxious weeds of the world, the prey of that lion who walks about seeking whom he may devour and torn by the sharp teeth of fear and uncertainty.
But the Good Shepherd would not let us perish. He came after us, patiently and lovingly, and carried us back on His shoulders to the flock. On our wounds and injuries, Jesus poured the balm of forgiveness, and for our hunger, He gave the food of His Word and the fellowship of His family. If we are in the flock today, we must confess that Jesus has often come after us and carried us back.

And so we must not pray just when we are “in the mood” and feel like doing so. An unwillingness to pray is a barrier that can and must be fought. We pray and thank God “always and in all circumstances” (1 Thess 5:17ff). We can learn how to pray. Do not forget that there is One who helps us and makes intercession for us even when we do not know how to pray as we ought. This is God's own Spirit.

Never tell a lie. Always tell the truth. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed, alleluia. You are forgiven. You are God’s child. Nothing—not even death, devil, and hell—stands in the way of Jesus, the Truth, and His Spirit, the Helper working all things for your salvation.

This is the encouragement, confidence, and hope our LORD Jesus gave His disciples when He said, “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.” Even while we weep and lament as our flesh sees disease and entropy, the world slides into gross hedonism, and our nation collapses. There is yet hope. He gives you a purpose and future even as He leads you through the valley of the shadow of death. Today in Divine Service, Jesus is giving you to taste and see the joy and goodness that awaits you.

Bad shepherds will look, sound, and act like saviors, messiahs, or Christs. But their words cannot save, their sacraments cannot forgive, and their churches are white-washed tombs. When push comes to shove, they will abandon, fleece, or devour you. They care nothing for you but only what robs away Jesus’s glory. And that’s the key to discernment. Has Jesus sent them to speak in His stead and by His command? Do their words lead to Jesus’s cross and resurrection for forgiveness, life, and eternal salvation? Do they call, gather, enlighten, and set you in Christ’s church by the Word of Jesus and His Spirit? Or do they lead you to trust in their world-building plans, science and innovation, and promises of a progressive utopia here on Earth? If it's the latter, they are false shepherds, evil imposters, and their lies are false hopes, dreams, and vanity.

Sometimes our expectations don't match up with reality. We can plan, prepare, and hope for the best, but sometimes, things don't go how we want them to. We can swallow the black pill, expect the worst, and then be shocked when God gives us better than we expected. Facing the future is scary and confusing. But what if what Jesus promises and gives is even better than anything we could imagine? What if the future is known and Jesus is with us, even when we don't understand what's happening?

Like the disciples, we are drawn along by Jesus. We can do nothing except follow Him, watch, and listen. Everything hangs on Him. The disciples hung back when Jesus went to Jerusalem because they were scared. What is He doing? Does Jesus want to get Himself killed? The fearful, faltering disciples Jesus draws on.

- Admonishment for a frequent reception of the Sacrament comes from two things: Jesus’ command and His promise (CQ/A 19). Jesus does command His people to eat His body and drink His blood (Matt. 26:26–27; Mark 14:22; Luke 22:19; 1 Cor. 11:24–25). To the command is added the promise, by which sins are forgiven in this Sacrament and faith is strengthened to stand against the temptations of the devil, the world and even our own flesh. The Scriptures show us our need for this Sacrament (CQ/A 20) because of this unholy trinity. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stjohnrandomlake/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stjohnrandomlake/support

In today's Gospel, we have a lovely picture of the life of the faithful Christian, the joy of a local congregation, and the childlike innocence of the Christian church. The Christian, the local congregation, and the whole Church on earth live, breathe, and have their being in Jesus, His Word, and the gifts His Word gives. You, as children, trust that God the Father will always give you what you need to support this body and life. You live in faith, knowing God the Father sent His Son Jesus to suffer, die, and rise for you.

When you get a Word of promise from God, the devil immediately wants to talk to you. And he takes what the Father says and adds that qualifier like “If!” That’s his whole strategy, his whole bag of tricks. It’s the same thing he does to Adam and Eve in Genesis. There they had a promise and a threat from God, and the serpent added, “Did God really say?”
Now you know what you pray for in the Lord’s Prayer when you ask, “Lead us not into temptation.” It’s not simply asking God to keep you from hunger, threats, or even your desire for power. You ask God to give you His Word so that you speak as Jesus speaks.

As we go about our daily lives, we too live in the reality of God’s grace, trusting in Jesus’ promise of salvation, living as people who have been forgiven and reconciled to God. And so we, like the blind man, glorify God and serve others, knowing that we have been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus keeps His promises. Ed’s confirmation verse, “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” is your promise, too. “Be still, my soul; your God will undertake To guide the future as He has the past. Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last.”

Jesus’s Word belongs in your heart, contemplated by your mind, and spoken by your mouth. You were remade in the waters of Baptism to be the dwelling place for Jesus and His Word. The Father wants Jesus to be with you daily, everywhere you go, in everything you do, and behind every word you say. By hearing preaching and receiving teaching, Jesus is sown, takes root, grows, and flourishes in you to bear fruits of faith toward God and active love for one another.

Great faith can ask without ceasing for healing that God can only give. And I live trusting that as God the Holy Trinity has given Naomi new life in Baptism, and forgiven her sin, then God has also promised to preserve her life both now and most certainly into the resurrection on the last day. When I think I have failed in being a Christian, I can’t seek feelings or wait for victories or look for successes to believe in and witness about. Nor can I dig about in my heart to discover a strong and victorious faith. No, I can only be steadfast in prayer, constantly go to Jesus, awaiting the word from His lips, and humble myself under the mighty hand of God "that in due time he may exalt [me and you].” And His Word is true—for me, you, Naomi, soldiers, servants—“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Jesus loves weddings. He cares for marriage. From the beginning, He created us male and female and wrote marriage into the fabric of nature. Thus, it is no coincidence that the first miracle recorded in John's Gospel is at a wedding. He blessed and honored marriage with His presence at Cana’s wedding feast. The Word became flesh and comes to restore flesh to be in conformity with the Word.

Yahweh saves. Yahweh comes into the flesh and even allows that flesh of His to be cut in keeping with the covenant to Abraham and the Law given through Moses. He is only 8 days old, and He allows His little infant blood to flow. And in this, He shows us the two-fold way that He intends to save us.

The glory that departed from the temple as the people were sent into exile in Babylon has returned to the person and work of Jesus. We see glimpses of the kind of glory of God in the Scriptures. The glory of God surrounded the herald angel and the heavenly host as they sang, “Glory to God in the highest!” On the mount of Transfiguration, Jesus’ countenance was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white. Saul was given to see the resurrected and ascended Jesus in glory on the road to Damascus, so brilliant that he was blinded until healed by Ananias.

But you do have an angel who announces to you good tidings. This messenger proclaims with God-given authority to declare to you the forgiveness of sins, deliverance from death, and freedom from the devil's lies. Your angel messenger tells you where to find Jesus, exactly where He is promised. “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”

He comes to save His people from their sins. That’s what His name means, Yahweh saves! Jesus! He came to save Joseph and Mary from their sins. He came to save His whole family from sins, death, and the devil. That includes you, too! By Baptism, you have been joined to Jesus. You were adopted as sons of God, coheirs with Jesus of His kingdom and eternity. That means this messy, mixed-up family that Jesus was born into is now your family, too. And since He came to save them, He came to save you.

And if there are any such among us, we call them to repentance now because Jesus is coming quickly. He says, “Behold, I am coming quickly!” There is no time to remain in trespasses and sins. Repent, believe the Gospel, and you will be saved. Everything in this Christian church is ordered for repentance unto the forgiveness of sins. That is the only way. If anyone is to be saved, God, by His Word and Spirit, must first devastate whatever stupid ideas, immoral lives, and rebellious beliefs are in His way. And having brought an end to all injustice, filthiness, and idolatry, Jesus promises to keep us in His righteousness, holiness, life, and faith until He comes again.
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work” (Rev 22:12). Christ comes with the reward which He Himself earned, and which He freely gives to all believers by grace. The “reward” itself is the gift of eternal life in God’s holy presence, earned for God’s people by the death and resurrection of the Lamb of God. This “reward” is represented by the tree of life. Good news and a great gift! So the whole church, the bride, cannot help but cry out, “‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely” (Rev 22:17) And again, Jesus exclaims, “Surely I am coming quickly!” (Rev 22:20).

Is it too hard to imagine that the unbridled stallion or mare will kneel to be ridden by Bev, resurrected and whole again? She will go galloping along the river of water of life, clear as crystal. She and all creation will rejoice in the salvation of the Lamb (Jesus) on His throne. And as she rides down the middle of the streets, she will see the tree of life, bearing its twelve fruits and leaves for the healing of the nations. There will be no more curses. No more M.S. No more obstinate animals. No more land that refuses to yield its fruit.
The hope and promise of God’s covenant promise to you, His people, is the resurrection of the body and heaven. And that heaven for you and Bev is full of life, physical life abundantly furnished and supplied by God. The clear biblical promise is that the present earth, which is suffering God’s judgment and thus is wasting away, will be restored to its original state—even as Bev and all God’s people will have their bodies restored in the resurrection so that they will be like Christ’s own glorious resurrection body (Phil 3:21).

The third stanza of our hymn “Once He Came in Blessing” tonight focuses on Christ’s coming “soon.” Soon Christ will return to judge the living and the dead. His eminent return is a warning and terror to the wicked whose sin remains unconfessed and trust misplaced. His return soon is a delight to the righteous who live in Jesus’s forgiveness and, with anxious expectation, await His reappearing. For you who live in Christ and grieve this world, sin, and its serpent prince, Jesus’s return cannot come soon enough.

Everybody needs a preacher. Herod needed a preacher. John’s disciples needed a preacher. John, in prison, needed a preacher. Without a preacher, the objective truth gets overwhelmed by subjectivity. Without a preacher, we get so caught up in our proverbial male cow dung that we lose sight of what is good, right, and true. Without a preacher, we turn inward to our delusions and story-telling and stop hearing and seeing what is real. Without a preacher, we get lost in our sin—with its lusts, desires, and passions—and lose the gift of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Everybody needs a preacher.

The promises of God fulfilled for Mickie are the only thing that can give lasting relief for today, tomorrow, and forever. Remember Mickie’s confirmation verse: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” The apostle Peter is right! There is no one else who can give the promises needed for this day. So hear again Jesus’s promises for Mickie, and all those who trust in Him.

Jesus’s warning isn’t just for those distracted by all the Christmas celebration (minus the actual celebration of the Nativity in His church, of course). Feasting and revelry, family and work, can easily distract you from keeping your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith. Jesus is warning you against all the distractions of this life, all the times the hustle and bustle of normal life distract you from the one thing needful, Jesus’s Word and its delivery for you in the Sacraments.

Jesus has kept His promises for Willis. It took a while, but sometimes that is what the LORD does. For Willis, that was 94 years of life, full of blessings but also difficulty and loss. Through it all, Jesus kept repeating His promises.
You are forgiven! You are my beloved child! I will never leave you or forsake you! I promise to keep you in the faith! You will be with me in paradise! Resurrection and eternal life are yours, now in hope and then in sight. And Jesus kept His promises for Willis, who now rests in the peace of Jesus awaiting the Last Day, the triumphant cry of the joy of all the faithful raised to life immortal.
So, no matter what twists and turns life took over those 94 years, Willis had Jesus with him to comfort and guide Him. No matter what loss and difficulty this life, world, or even the demonic powers might cause him to suffer, Jesus’s Spirit was there to renew and restore Willis to faith and life in Jesus. The gift of Willis’s baptism into Jesus and the breath of the Spirit received there kept and preserved him, day in and day out.

Advent 1
Matthew 21:1-9
Who is Jesus? What has He come to do? Those are the central questions of this day and season of Advent. If Jesus on the donkey riding into Jerusalem isn’t about that, what good is He? If He is just another prophet, why listen to Him and not the others? If He is just another Maccabean messiah, why follow Him? If He’s just another son of David, a family has lost both their nobility and status, why acknowledge Him with palm branches and exclamation? Everything rides on the anointed one, Jesus saving you from your sins.

Each morning we begin, and each evening we end with a prayer that goes like this, “I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son…” As you pray those words, think of the blessings of body and life God the Father has given you. But also recognize the more fantastic gift of forgiveness, life, and salvation you have in His Son by the Spirit. And then you can say, “O, Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever.”

Awake, arise, and meet Him as He speaks His Word of Life, restoring and renewing you. “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light” (Eph 5:14). Remain awake, attentive, and vigilant for the day of His coming. Jesus’s Word and gifts are here for our life and salvation; wake up!

The metaphor of the prophet as “watchman” is frequent (esp. Is 21:6-12; Is 56:10 for false prophets; Hosea 9:8, Hab 2:1, Jer 6:1). God and Ezekiel is not just concerned with natural, temporal life, but also with spiritual and eternal life. Jesus assumes the language in the parable of the ten virgins (Mt 25:1-13) and His summary admonition in Mk 13:37: “What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’” The prophet’s role as watchman readily applies specifically to the pastoral office today and broadly, to all Christians. There is risk and serious consequence of death for failure to speak God’s Law and Gospel (3:18). All are held to a high standard to rebuke the erring brother, with particular judgment for the pastor who fails to speak (Office of the Keys; Rev 1:18; Mt 16:19; Rev 3:7).

However, what was required for Jesus to call you sons and to forgive you all your sins? This required His own death! For “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins” (Hebrews 9:22). Jesus does the lesser—heal the man’s paralysis—to prove what is more remarkable—His blood-bought authority to forgive sins with a Word! And where Jesus is forgiving sins, He is also working life and love. His life-breathing breath works and renews faith that cannot be seen. His Spirit takes hold of you and works out the love that can be seen in you.

It all hangs on Jesus. His love for neighbor is perfectly known for giving His life for His friends. This is true love, unlike this world has ever known since before the Fall. Without Jesus, you cannot know love. With Jesus, you understand and receive the fullness of the love of God. Without Jesus’ love, you can never love your neighbor. With Jesus’ love, you will love fully and completely.

Without Jesus’ Word and gifts being given, your faith in God becomes starved, and thus your love for one another will also fail. This is why “Is it lawful?” is the wrong question. The Sabbath was not made for you to serve God but for Him to serve you! The Sabbath was given for you, that you would be renewed and refreshed in faith and love. This refreshment comes in the proclamation of Christ crucified for you for the forgiveness of sins and that forgiveness delivered to you with water, Word, bread, and wine.

With all our little deaths dead, crucified with Christ Jesus—sin absolved, the world overcome, the tempter’s voice silenced—we now live raised to new life in the little resurrection—free and forgiven, holy and righteous, hopeful and trusting by the Word of the Gospel. And finally, we know that Jesus has already overcome our death and graves, too. “The hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation” (John 5:28-29).

To this, nestled amid the excerpt from Jesus’ sermon is the Word we need: “For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” There is a greater need than anything your body wants. There is a pang of hunger that no quick bread can satisfy. There is a covering for your naked shame and guilt that won’t decay and wear out. What you need and what Jesus gives you today, tomorrow, and always is His righteousness.

This leper’s sin-ravaged body, covered in bandaged sores, agrees with St. Paul, who later confessed—that all our works are nothing but filthy garments. Jesus had broken this Samaritan out of the prison house of doom, where death had royal scope and room. He healed the leper as a free gift, without any merit or worthiness in him. Jesus healed him because that’s what Jesus does. He has mercy on those whom He has mercy. Why would he go anywhere or to anyone else?

Jesus is working by command and parable to utterly humble you into confession. He is not setting up for you another example of pious living that will save you. Instead, He is pointing you away from yourself, your own boasting, and your mistaken righteousness. He’s returning you to faith in Him, who justifies and saves freely out His gracious giving. For Christ alone is your righteousness, your redemption, and your salvation. Jesus alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the Gate, the Ladder, and Step by which you are brought to the Father.

Jesus recognizes this man’s bodily need and heals him. The man and his friends have exhausted every possible remedy. There is no technology, no medicine, and no miracle worker that has unshackled him from this burden. He gives the man what neither the man nor anyone else could give him. Jesus doesn’t free him from his body but restores his body in part to the Creator’s original intent. “He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.” This kind of healing is never beyond our Creator; thus, we pray daily for the sick, the infirm, and those with any mental or physical disability. We trust that Jesus can and does heal according to His good and gracious pleasure.
And you, even if you have your five senses, must remember that the Holy Spirit inspired the prophets to speak of our whole condition as rebels as a kind of deafness. Jesus today is teaching us that not only does He heal mental and physical disability, but He comes to set us free from our spiritual disability. The broader context of Jesus restoring senses is that He is about restoring your fear, love, and trust in Him above all things. He is opening your ears, implanting His Word in your hearts, and loosening your tongue to confess faith in Him.

It is only the tax collector in the story who understands his real position. The tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ He recognizes that all the categories, classes, and divisions we see in the world in the final estimation don’t mean a thing before God. The stories you tell about yourself—whether ethnicity, nationality, class, gender, or economic success—don’t mean anything when you’re brought before the judgment seat of God on the last day. On that day, the only thing that matters is whether the Father sees in you the reflection of His Son Jesus.
Your identity before God is clear and simple. You are a child of God through Holy Baptism. You have been clothed with Christ, washed in His saving blood, branded as one redeemed by Christ the crucified. You might be a worker or employer, long-time American or immigrant, male or female (or some other imaginary gender). According to your baptism, you are all one in Christ Jesus.

God has put the ministry of the Word into this world, not that the preachers be silent, but that they reprove, teach, comfort, terrify, and thereby save those whom the LORD wills. The preacher delivers the Word full-force, with awful examples of God’s wrath against the obstinate and sinful heart of flesh. But to the Christian who is humbled and fearful, the preacher speaks sweet words of comfort. For those repented by the law, Christ Jesus wants nothing more than their sins forgiven, their lives renewed, and their hope of heaven restored.
This why we read terrifying accounts of history and prophecy. We’re understandably reluctant because God’s wrath revealed is often frightening, gory, and horrific. They are meant to tear down the proud in the imaginations of the heart and keep the godly in the fear of God. And in the midst of every terrible event like the destruction of Jerusalem, we hear of God mercifully preserving the faithful, like Noah or Lot. God the Holy Spirit directs your heart by means of the Word and confession to repent and believe again.

The Gospel is wise and right before God but looks like foolishness to the world. Now, in faith, you forgive even those who don’t deserve it. In faith, you care for those who don’t want it. In faith, you love those who are unloving. You live to serve. You know you are a steward of what you have, not its ultimate owner. You risk discomfort, persecution, and ridicule for your ridiculous faith. You dare to trust God in danger. You would rather suffer martyrdom than be unfaithful to God.

A true prophet preaches repentance for the forgiveness of sins in Christ’s shed blood. A false prophet tells you to justify, rationalize, or overlook sin. A true prophet preaches justification by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. A false prophet tells you to live a holy life by following rules and regulations, to be a good person in order to be saved. A true prophet only preaches what he has been given to speak from the Word of God. Without your intentional study of God’s Word, you’ll never know if everything this preacher preached and this congregation confesses is good, right, and true. The solid rock upon which the Church is built are the words of Jesus. Let us all commit to the diligent and patient study of God’s Word. Everything else is sinking sand.

Jesus will never stop putting up with you. He will keep calling you to join Him in the sea, mountain, or desert places. He will keep gathering you together with other poor sinners in need of mercy. He will keep speaking to you His Word that gives faith, life, salvation, and peace. And He will keep shepherding His flock, even those who wander and find themselves outside His fold.

Where there is faith, trusting in Jesus and His suffering, death, and resurrection for your forgiveness, there will also always be love for your neighbor. It doesn’t matter if that neighbor is your spouse, child, sibling, employer, overseer, pastor, fellow pew-sitter, or even the one who lives in the next house down the road. That love will be manifest in you as you personally declare to them the same forgiveness declared to you. If you’re angry, forgive them. If you want to call them names, call them instead someone whom Christ Jesus died for. If you think your neighbor a fool, then give them the wisdom of Jesus. If you think your neighbor has something against you, be reconciled in the forgiveness of sins, and the righteousness of Christ will make right what you’ve made a mess of.

For you to be a disciple like those of the Scriptures, therefore, is to live daily under the influence of the Word of Jesus. Your heart and mind consciously want to do just that and seek every opportunity to be with Jesus in preaching, teaching, and Sacrament. Jesus himself said to the disciples who had chosen to follow him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:31ff). To be a disciple is to have your priorities adjusted so that work, play, and even family are governed by and focused on hearing Jesus and receiving His gifts.

God the Father, working through the Word of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, will make, accomplish, and do in you what is needful. And by repenting you, forgiving your sin, and amending your heart, the world around you will begin to change. The good measure given to you will overflow in the same kind for those around you. As you are forgiven by God, you forgive those who sin against you. As you are shown mercy by God, so mercy will overflow for those near you. As God removes the plank from your eye, you will compassionately and in love be given to assist your neighbor with the speck in theirs.

Our open rebellion against our fathers and squandering of the inheritance they bequeathed to us cannot separate us from God’s love in Christ Jesus. Our refusal to hear God’s Word and gladly hear and learn it can. Because that Word is life and light. When Jesus speaks with the Father’s authority, He reveals all our sinful rejection. But more than that, He reveals the love of God the Father in giving His Son for the bloody atonement of our sin and the sins of the world. His Word restores what we have forsaken. His Word clothes us again and again in Jesus’ righteousness. His Word sets before us a feast of forgiveness, the body and blood of the Word made flesh, Jesus. His Word resurrects the dead to life again. His Word forgives our rebellion against the heavenly inheritance we have wasted in prodigal living and restores them to us again.

There was a rich man. There was a poor man. What then do you do? Which one am I? That's how this goes. Then you try to do what fancy theologians today call: placing yourself in the story. Well, nothing can be worse. So you're sitting there trying to place yourself and you're trying to figure out: Am I the rich man or the poor man? Am I good or bad? Am I on the right or wrong side of this parable? I don't exactly have sores that the dogs are licking on so that doesn't sound too good for me. On the other hand, I'm not exactly as terrible as a rich man. Where do I fit?

Confessing [the Athanasian Creed] is like jumping into the deep end of the pool for the first time as a child: at first, you are somewhat timid, but once you jump in you can’t wait to do it again and again and again, exploring the depths, swimming in its sonorous life. A new world—indeed a new life—has been opened up to us, revealed for us in this name. For it is the life and Name of the very Triune God—who is love in Himself—that we come to know and worship whenever this creed it confessed.

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). The means which the Spirit uses is the Word. He does not work apart from Jesus and endeavors only to give you Jesus in the Word. He teaches you all that Jesus taught and reminds you daily of what Jesus said. It is the work of the Spirit that brings you, Jesus Christ, in the Word. Jesus speaks and deals with us still today in the Word. And where the Word is, there is the Spirit, living and active. The word of forgiveness in Jesus’s name is the living Word.

Jesus has not failed you and will not forget you or any of those whom He has called by name in Holy Baptism. He is even now moving heaven and earth to restore and renew your trust in His Word. He overthrows anyone or anything that you have given fear, love, or trust. God will be your God, and you will be His people. He sends the Promise of the Father to you to call you back home, to gather you again to the Christian church, to open your eyes again to the only way of life and escape from death, and to set you apart again as trusting people of God.

The life of the Christian is the life of prayer—morning and evening, noontime and mealtime, Sabbath, and weekday. As we have received the implanted Word, we pray that Word back to Jesus. St. Luke tells us that the first Christians “continued in…the prayers.” So, we begin with the prayer Jesus taught us, “Our Father,” and grow into the morning, evening, and meal prayers of our youth, and then blossom into the whole liturgical prayer life of the Church. We learn to pray the Catechism, the Psalms, the traditional collects, the hymns, spiritual songs, and the liturgies of the Church. Every time you gather with fellow Christians to pray, you continue in the faith received from Jesus.

We can no more be destroyed than God can be made a liar. We belong to Him and are held to Him by His word of truth. We are the first fruits. There is a big promise in that. The first of the harvest was offered to God as a token of the whole harvest, acknowledged as belonging to Him and as a gift from Him. To say first fruits means there are more gifts to follow. With every gift, God pushes our hands wider open to receive a still larger gift. The bother with us is that we often hold our hands open just enough for little gifts in fear that if the gifts get too big they may overwhelm us. The gifts may begin to take us over, and we may not be able to manage them.

We are not stray, inexplicable pieces but together with Christ, alive, in motion, sent to live and share the life of Christ, growing, changing, shaping ourselves to each person's need so we may have life and have it more abundantly, the joy that cannot be taken away. Remember your Baptism. Live your Baptism. You were born again; new life is given. You are being born each day. Each day pregnant with the next, even the days that seem to deny you and God, for we, too, are going to the Father. Quickened by the Spirit, we go with Christ, who promised, "I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you." (John 16:22).

Jesus hasn’t stopped breathing the Spirit upon all of selfish, rebellious humanity. He breathed the Spirit upon you in your Baptism. The Spirit continues to breathe on you, the once slain but now alive army of God. The Spirit gives you to listen to Jesus, to hear His Word, and receive the gifts that Word gives. Jesus tells you to touch His flesh in the Holy Sacrament. He gives you to hunger and thirst for His righteousness, drinking deeply from the well of His forgiveness. “Peace be with you” is proclaimed to you in the forgiveness of sins in His body and blood of His Supper.

You either have all of Jesus or you have none of Him at all. The resurrection witnesses knew what they had shared. The accusation that they had made it all up they could endure. And they had to face persecution, they were beaten, crucified, and stoned. Why would they do that for a lie, a hoax, or even under some mass delusion. But they could not be silenced. St. Peter and John themselves confessed before the Sanhedrin, "For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4:20)

This Lententide, we have been learning to lament from the Psalms. Our final Psalm is possibly the most difficult to pray. It is arguably the darkest. It even stands among the most somber compositions in all of Holy Scripture, comparable to the overcast pages of Job and Ecclesiastes.
It’s hard to imagine how to reconcile such dark tones with evangelical hope. The Gospel must predominate in Christian preaching, even on this night as Christ lay dead in the tomb. Some might even think the sentiments of this psalm too dismal for it to serve as a Christian prayer at all. The hymnal committee saw no place for it in Lutheran worship and left it out.

Moses and the Prophets preached to reform their conscience, call them to repentance, and amend their life. But they refused to listen and double-downed in error and foolishness. That’s why they enlisted the help of Rome and stirred up a mob of people with bad consciences to cry out for Jesus’ death. They “shot the messenger” and crucified Jesus.

God is only present for you where Jesus' body is presented to you. God goes so deep into the flesh that he gives his weight to sinful men and women, boys and girls with such reckless, loving abandon that you're embarrassed for him. His love is so great that He lays down His life for you, offering that divine love and life to even you. He lays His body and blood down on this altar abundantly and without a hint of frugality for you to receive as your manna in the wilderness, or the Passover Lamb roasted over the fire of God’s wrath, giving you escape.

Have some sympathy for the disciples, the women, the crowds, and even the religious and political leaders responsible for abandoning, mocking, condemning, and crucifying Jesus. You have the benefit of the 40,000 view, where he can see from horizon to horizon, from Adam to the new Adam, from Creation to the New Heavens and New Earth. But at the moment, it was hard to make sense of it all, even if you knew the Scriptures as intimately as the disciples did.

Don’t be afraid to speak directly and clearly to God in prayer. Name your enemies. And if you’re wrong and they will be converted, thanks be to God. Pray God to defeat them and repent them. And if not, pray that He destroy them. Your life and faith depend on Him ending the foul reign of enemies physically and spiritually.

Be honest with yourself. Jesus is offensive. He says things you don’t like. He tells you to do something you don’t want to do. Each time you come to church, you hope this is the Sunday you get by without Him noticing you and your sin. You have a good thing going, and you don’t want Jesus to upend your day, week, or year. You don’t want Him to expose your lust for power and endless pursuit of wealth. But even worse, you don’t want Him exposing your lies and your following after liars. You prefer the out-of-context Bible verse memes to deep study. You choose the easy to the difficult, the life of “I’m okay” to the life of “I’m a poor, miserable sinner.”
But here you are. And here Jesus speaks. And in His speaking, He exposes you for the fraud that you are according to the flesh. But that’s not His last Word, and that’s not what He calls you. In Baptism, He no longer sees you as anything but His forgiven brother, a coheir of heaven, and a child of God. And as Karson, so for you, too. You have the Holy Spirit who repents you daily, coverts you again, restores you to faithfulness, and gives you to live in Christ today and always.

The situation in Psalm 80 is pretty rough. The problem in this psalm is not private, so to speak; it has to do with afflictions brought upon the Church. Asaph, the Psalmist, describes in vivid detail the common experience of the Christian congregation. She is often given to be in contention with her neighbors. Those who hate her seek her ruin and destruction. Worse yet, it seems that the good planting of God is now being broken down by God Himself. It seems that she’s being plundered by the world and false faiths around her.
The remedy we ask against this plight is the revelation of God's glory, a theme that appears early in our psalm: “You who sit upon the Cherubim, reveal Yourself to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh; stir up Your might and come to save us." Then, three times comes the refrain that makes the same prayer: "Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!” This is the desperate plea of the Church which is assaulted within and without and is doubting the perseverance God has promised.

This world is a wilderness of despair, hopelessness, and need. It is governed by power and greed, poverty and want. This world is governed by laws of economics, like supply and demand. But the communion of the saints of God, His holy church has no scarcity, but She lives in the abundance of the Gospel. You have been gathered today to God’s holy mountain Zion. Here you are given to sit down in green pastures. You are fed with bread from heaven, God’s Word, and feast at the Holy Supper of the Lamb. So great a number surrounds you, an assembly of God’s holy people too great to even number. Not even 12 x 12 x 1000 is enough to describe the saints and angels with you this day. And you are filled with good things, Christ’s forgiveness, and drink from a well that springs to eternal life. There’s always enough and even more.

As the church prayed for Peter, chained in prison by Herod, the afflicted and saddened church spent that night remembering the God who brought forth His people from the oppression and bondage of Pharaoh and thus inspired she prayed for the renewal of God's wonders. Even today, the church gathers on the night that begins the Paschal feast for the Easter Vigil. Like the church of Acts, we continue to keep vigil in readings, psalms, and prayers. We celebrate our deliverance through Red Sea waters in our Baptism and our Passover lamb, Christ’s body, and blood.

Is it more reasonable not to believe that there is a devil? Whence then comes all the evil in the world? From whence comes all that really deserves to be called diabolical and satanic? How can people act as they do? And who knows more about these things than Jesus? Jesus says of His cross, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” And, “Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.”

As Asaph laments, however, he remembers that the very act of Creation was a deed of deliverance. Making things from nothing, the Lord did battle. Nothingness is not neutral. Existence is not natural to nothingness. Nihilism rejects all reality as without meaning and purpose, neither created nor formed. That’s the religion of the post-modern man, confessing that we have killed God, and with His death His Word has been silenced. But that is a lie. The most ardent nihilist believer in nothing will question why live at all.

Jesus’ interaction with the Syro-Phoenecian woman is a lovely picture of how He interacts with you. What He spoke was as much for her and His disciples as it is for you. In the struggle between what you experience and what He says, Jesus builds trust. He exposes truths that the sinner hates. He ruins misplaced beliefs and false hopes. He devastates selfish esteem and pride. Anything and anyone who gets in His way to saving you are leveled and destroyed.
Jesus doesn’t want trust that falters when you don’t get the answer you want right away. He doesn’t want trust that is dependent on your legacy or ancestry. He doesn’t want trust that claims to deserve or have earned His favor. These are the categories of false hope that talking heads, actors, and puppets wish you to believe. Sit at His feet, listen to what He says, and do whatever He tells you.

Being baptized, you can call a sin, death, evil, and demonic possession what they are. You don’t have to hide them. You can’t ignore them. You see them and you can’t unsee them. Once Jesus has opened your eyes to see what was once hidden, you won’t be able to ignore these mortal enemies anymore. You can try but it will lead you only into misery, shame, and despair. Or you can follow Christ Jesus into the battle fray, armed to the teeth and shielded with the impenetrable armor of His Word and faith. That’s where the Spirit is leading you and even driving you: acknowledging your sin, renouncing the world, and rebuking the Evil One and all his fallen host.

(The Sunday on the Way to Jerusalem) - February 27, 2022
Blind Bartimaeus is the prototypical example. First comes the Word, then the confession of faith, and then the seeing. “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Blind Bart knows the Scriptures and the promises of God attached to the Messiah-King after David. So, in faith worked by the Spirit, he confesses the truth when Jesus comes near. He can’t see Jesus but trusts Him anyway because He has the Word of promise. And confessing Jesus, He receives what Jesus alone can give: “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.”

That which is different about God's word, as over against all human words, is its authority. God’s Word does what it says. And He often gives others to speak with His authority, so He acted also through the prophetic word. He sent his word forth in the mouths of the holy prophets to "pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:10) It is written that the Lord “has sent a word against Jacob" and that, "it will light upon Israel.” (Isaiah 9:8) When God speaks, His purpose and motive is clear. He tears down whatever is getting in the way of faith in Him. He builds and plants trust in Him which receives forgiveness in Jesus.

It's a demonic distortion to try to flatten the incredible God-given diversity and order of the world or the church. And to try to force an equal outcome on this world is to try to turn it into a flat, dull, and ugly place, a Christ-less “heaven” where you’ll own nothing and never be happy. And yet, Jesus says that our reward can be great in heaven. The fathers used to speak of this reward as the reward of grace, a pure gift since it is just as unearned and undeserved as the whole day's pay that the laborers in the vineyard received, even though they had only worked an hour.

This isn’t the first time Moses and Elijah had spoken with Jesus. And there is nothing they have said that does not see its fulfillment in Jesus. Everything Moses and Elijah preached pointed to the forgiveness of sins purchased and won in Jesus’ shed blood and innocent suffering and death. Look to Jesus and Jesus only.

The life of the Christian and Christ’s church under the cross must be revealed to you and trust worked in you by the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, you’d want nothing to do with it. You should see the face of the new convert when I tell them that their life will be worse now they believe in Jesus. The devil, world, sin, and hell will rage and storm against them because they are with Christ and in His ark, the Church. And this is exactly how Jesus wants it!

Only the One who created all things can restore all things. God the Father speaking His Son Jesus by the breath of the Spirit brought the heavens and earth and everything into being. So, the Father’s Son with a Spirit-filled Word can restore life again.

In the past, though, even Christian families could depend on the outside world to support their mission. In turn, strong families produced good citizens capable of building a strong society. Now, however, Christian families, in particular, are under constant, direct, and sustained attacks by a government and culture that view Christian families as a threat to a state that desires to control every aspect of their lives through laws, policies, and court decisions that diminish or sever parental rights.

You see how the devil and the world are enemies of the little baby Jesus and His kingdom. They strenuously fight against Him, even as He is a small child. They seek perennially to smother, oppress, and wipe out His Word and work. There will be no lack of sin and trouble in this life because you are a Christian. Your flesh will tempt you daily to great shame and vice. The fallen world will seek to tear down you and especially your faith through persecution and other sufferings. The devil will also be nipping at your heels day and night with his lying and murdering so that you have no peace within or without. Just as Christ himself was tormented in this way, so will you also.
While God permits this affliction, He never loses control. Things never get out of hand. Herod’s treachery had its end. God limits evil. He always does. He promises that will never be tempted more than you are able to withstand. He promises to provide you with every strength you need for the carefully measured load. He permits. He promises to bring an end to it in good time. His omnipotent hand is in complete control.

Christmas-time is the bold proclamation that God was born to save sinners; Jesus came to save lost causes like you and me. This is the great mystery at the heart of our Christmas proclamation. That's why we have a future, even as church bells stop ringing across our nation.

“[Mary] will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” And so, in the midst of all that causes you shame and struggles and humiliation, there's Jesus, God's grace and peace. There is always grace and peace with Him for you no matter how great your shame, no matter how difficult the struggle, and no matter how low you sink into humiliation. With Jesus, there is always room for you to come and find rest today and always.

Every call to repentance and every proclamation of God’s holy Law, by prophet and pastor alike, is preparation to receive Jesus. Like John, our confession of sin and repentance is preparation to receive Christ Jesus. Like John, the preacher points to Christ in the manager, and Christ crucified and declares, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” “Take, eat, the body of Christ for you!” “Take, drink, the blood of Christ shed for you for the forgiveness of sins!” “You are forgiven! Go in peace!” So, the man sent speaks the Word and gets out of the way. The Word by the Holy Spirit does the work.

But how about, “Hate your enemy?” We ask the catechism question, “Where is this written?” It has a ring of truth being paired with the explicit, “You shall love your neighbor.” It makes sense to us. It’s the best Santa Claus morality. There’s no problem loving those who love us. Of course, we are to hate our enemies! Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, is as true today as then. It’s the kinetic, conservation of energy (the first law of thermodynamics), and the equal and opposite reaction (Newton’s third law.) But you can spend all day looking up “and you shall hate your enemy” and you will not find it.

When your bones grow weak, Jesus still loves you. When the blood dries up in your veins, Jesus still loves you. When your love slowly fades away from this earth, and the dirt embraces you, Jesus still loves you. God's love is more than father, mother, friend, or anyone else could love you, even more than you can love yourself... because God is love, and his promises to you are unbreakable, even into eternal life.

As Jesus says, “But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Even in the midst of the dire warnings, the threatening judgment, and the vigilance of watching and praying, Jesus promises the Gospel of Jesus Christ crucified for our forgiveness and raised for our justification will go out before the day comes. And the new day of his full presence is coming, however, and then it will be sight. So in the midst of our confident faith in his promise, we look for the joy of his return and full presence among us and in the world that belongs to him. Because Jesus has loved us, we love him, and we long for him to return. It is as simple as that.

Do you believe that Christ is your Savior? Then you are counted amongst the elect. Today, you receive God's promise that you are counted amongst His chosen people. You are baptized! You are forgiven! Eat my body and drink My blood for forgiveness, life, and salvation! Go in peace! God loves you in Christ from all eternity. What could be more secure than that? Nothing. Nothing could be more sure for you than the fact that God chose you in Christ as His today and always.

This is the message God has appointed me to proclaim to you today and to announce to the nations and kingdoms of this earth: “To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant” (Jer 1:10).
So listen now, before it's too late. "Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. In a year of drought, it has no worries and never fails to bear fruit” (Jer 17:7-8).

The true oil of gladness is Christ crucified for you. Jesus’ sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection are the content of your faith, the oil that keeps you with Jesus Christ. You rejoice when you hear the gift of the cross spoken in sweet words of Absolution. Christ’s light remains shining bright as He stokes the flame of His love in you by His gifts. And the richest feast you’ll have this week isn’t on Thursday but here at the Altar today. He gives His you Himself to strengthen and preserve you unto life everlasting, more oil for your lamps!

Jesus died for all but not all would receive Him. How does He know the difference? Their unbelief is manifest in the way they treat the brethren He sends. Quite concretely Jesus is catechizing you His church to be especially attentive to the care of those given to preach, teach, and administer His Word and gifts to you.
This is not another abstract “love your neighbor” sermon. These “brothers” are those messengers/apostles given to preach to them the Word and deliver the gifts of Jesus. Thus, those who treat the disciples whom Jesus sends with contempt will receive the condemnation He promised previously. He had already said that those who fail to receive and care for His sent ones “apostles” who have a more severe judgment than Sodom and Gomorrah (c.f. Matthew 10).

While never complete, the Spirit continues that work even today, calling all sinners and every institution polluted by sin to repentance and faith in Jesus. We give thanks to God for Dr. Luther, for the work of the Reformers, and the freedom in Christ that was restored. We ask that He work this same repentance in us, that we and all Christians be called, gathered, enlightened, and sanctified for team Jesus, the holy Christian church. And we pray that the same Spirit keep us faithful to Jesus, speaking His words, confessing His doctrine, singing His song, and believing with His faith.

Trinity 21
Ephesians 6:10-17
God has given to you precisely what you need to withstand the devil and this evil day in His Holy Word. Even today you are being equipped with the truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation. And He puts into your hand the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. This is being wielded deftly today by the liturgy of prayer, hymnody, and preaching to cut down our enemies and defend us from false beliefs. The battle is fought and won by Christ’s death upon the cross and resurrection from the grave. And from the right hand of God, He shelters you by His Holy Word to be faithful with perseverance until the end.

How does Jesus give us such faith? Blessings for this life are given according to God’s good and gracious will. But bodily gifts such as good health, wealth, or any other luxury do not give faith. It rains on the just and unjust alike. Saying to the paralytic, “Rise, take up your bed and go home,” would give him a temporary and fleeting faith until the next catastrophe or until he faced death. Only the faith given by the Gospel will save in eternity. Only the faith given by Christ’s forgiveness is faith that finally silences ugly accusations of the flesh, the world, and the devil.

Funeral of Kay R. Winter
Psalm 23
This was Kay’s faith. She knew that one day the Lord would come and take her by the hand and lead her to her heavenly home. This is what happened on the day of her death, which happened to be the day before her baptism birthday. By God's giving, she was baptized into Christ and learned the Lutheran confession. She walked with the Lord all her life. The Holy Spirit guided her steps to walk in Christ’s righteousness, living under His name. By God's grace, she kept his vow to remain faithful to the Lord all her life. And just a few days ago, Jesus gave her a blessed end and brought her safely into His eternal dwellings. What a wonderful example for you! I know that you will miss her in your family.

Unlike the authorities of this world, Jesus always rules over you for your good. He uses His authority always and forever for your benefit and not His own. His kingship is marked by His service. He reigns over you with His love and peace. He makes you His own by forgiving you and bringing you into His kingdom. You are humbled before Him, you are placed under His cross, where He gives Himself completely to you. He gives you His own body and blood, exalting you to His table to kneel and eat His flesh and blood given and shed for you.

Jesus is the only answer to your heart’s deceit and longing. Jesus is the only answer to the liar and the lies of this world. Unlike the devil who can only corrupt, deceive, and destroy, Jesus comes with forgiveness, truth, and life. He overwhelms the liar with truth. Unlike the world that can only charm and dominate, Jesus comes with love, humility, and weakness. He overthrows the power of this world with His cross. And you don’t need live in fear of death because He destroyed death by His death and has brought life and immortality for you.

If you’re going to look to the past, look to Jesus Christ and Him crucified. On the cross of Calvary, God proves His loving care for you. Jesus died not just to give you more food, drink, or clothing. He does that regardless. But Jesus died to absolve you your sins and He rose having destroyed death forever. Your entire past is forgiven in Jesus.
If you’re going to look to the future, see through the promises of God’s Word. Here, in Jesus’ kingdom, you constantly assured that where there is forgiveness of sins, there is life now and eternally. As you are already now saved from death, you can rest confidently knowing that God will on the Last Day receive you into the heavenly dwellings already now prepared for you and all those who love Him. If you’re going to look forward, look to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who has promised you eternal life.

Janis asked the LORD for help and it was given to her. She sought the LORD in her distress and she found Him comforting her. Her heart was opened to receiving Jesus as He came to her with everything need for faith and life. When her dear parents, brothers and sisters, grandson, and friends died, she sought the LORD in prayer and He answered her with comfort and confidence by His promises. Jesus promised and she placed all her confidence in Him.

What does it mean to walk in the light, on the path? It means to follow Christ as His disciple. You go where He goes. But how can you know the way? He tells you. He instructs you. Remember, Jesus told His disciples that to be a disciple is to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and to learning to observe all things that Jesus has spoken. The only way forward is with Jesus, listening to Him, following Him, and holding fast to Him as He’s revealed Himself in His Word.

Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist
Mark 6:14-29
John the Baptist couldn’t keep his mouth shut. Within his vocation as prophet, he had to speak. The king was living a lie and left unchecked, one lie would lead to another. For the sake of the king and the kingdom, the last Elijah, John, spoke the truth in love. And what did he get for it? First he was imprisoned by the king and then the bitter adulteress and incestuous queen had him beheaded.
Was it worth it? Was John’s witness a waste of time? Look what it got him! The memory of him is forever marked by his end. Two thousand years of church artwork has featured his notorious head on a platter. Was it worth it? Was there another way to overcome over Herod and Herodias’s heart? Perhaps if John had instead preached a more encouraging word or simply looked the other way, those two would have come around eventually?

What can Jesus do with the deaf and mute? As with all sin and all that sin has corrupted, Jesus comes to forgive and to restore. Forgiveness and life go together. So, Jesus wastes no time. Taking the man aside, He puts His fingers in His ears and touches His tongue, and sighs “Be opened!” And the deaf-mute man’s ears were opened and he spoke rightly. A great miracle has been given to this man.

The child of St. Mary is the Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. We call Mary blessed because the Father blessed her with the Son who would save her. It is said that women will be saved through childbirth (1 Timothy 2:15). The bearing of children is a blessing, one to be received in faith and devotion. St. Mary exemplifies such receptivity despite the scandal of her virgin birth. Even more so, this child is both blessing to her and a blessing to everyone who calls on his holy name.

For this work of Jesus, your heavenly Father commends him for His wisdom, shrewdness. By unjustly dying, rising, and giving the wealth of the Father to those who do not deserve forgiveness, He has won for the Father friends, you, to dwell with Him in the eternal tabernacles. Indeed, while from your perspective you owe your God a great debt, but from His perspective He has forgiven them all completely and fully. And His forgiveness is far greater than the opposite of the unjust steward. He has not forgiven only 20 percent or 50 percent of our debts to Him. But by in utter worldly wastefulness (or Godly forgiveness), He has removed the entire wage for your sin. Balance owed? Zero. Merit needed? Nothing. Worthiness to work on? Zip.

It’s James and John, not John and James, the sons of Zebedee. Every family, every congregation, every state, and indeed, all human relationships are defined by hierarchy. It’s an inescapable part of life. There are greater and there are lesser. Some serve and others are served. Some rule and others are ruled. Some work and others enjoy leisure. Some are wealthy and some are poor. It is not humanly possible that all people have equality of status, reputation, income, or occupation. While it is possible to treat all people as equals, it is not possible for all people to enjoy equality in every aspect of life. That’s a utopian pipe dream!

Trinity 6
Matthew 5:17-26
“For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Rather than you find religion that suits your heart, Jesus finds you and gives you a new heart. He reveals to you the known God, who opens Himself up to you in keeping His promises. The Father has been working by the Law and Prophets, shaking heaven and earth, to bring you and all His elect into faith in Jesus Christ. This faith lives, moves, and its being in Jesus Christ crucified for the forgiveness of sins. This faith lives in Divine Service, where God gives Himself for you and your salvation. This faith doesn’t shy away from what God has to say, letting His Word have its way with you day-by-day. This faith doesn’t seek its own righteousness but trusts in the righteousness of Christ given in the forgiveness of sins. This faith doesn’t chose sides or join teams but is gathered together in Holy Baptism and fed together in Christ’s body and blood. Your righteousness does exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees because it’s daily given to you in Christ Jesus’s forgiveness.

Trinity 5
Luke 5:1-11
Day by day Jesus is preaching and teaching His Word. He is casting the net of His Gospel into this world. He’s drawing drowning people into His Church. He is joining them to Himself in Holy Baptism. He is forgiving you and all believers in His absolution. He is strengthening and nourishing young and old with His body and blood under bread and wine. He is preserving you and all his “fish” in His Word until the final day. And when that last day comes, He will have gathered you and all those who believe into His heaven, eternally safe and secure eternally.

Trinity 3
Luke 15:1-10
Welcome back to the flock. Your fellow sheep saints sing for joy. Welcome back into His treasury. You are loved, valued, and precious in His sight. Welcome home to His church. All of us were lost but are now restored brothers and sisters. We rejoice with you and the angels do, too.

Jesus will have you at His feast. You are forgiven for all your unending excuses on what or why you don’t think this feast is for you. He’ll move heaven and earth if necessary to get you through those doors and into this sanctuary to receive the Great Supper of the Lamb. The invitation cries out over and over, “Come unto Me!” And if you finally come, He’s going to find all those who will receive it. Nobody is excluded. All the social outcasts, screwed up oddballs, ex-cons—you name them—Jesus keeps inviting until His feast is full. It’s not all that impressive or spectacular, at least not until the Last Day, when you and all the dead are raised, and your sleepy eyes open to see the Lamb on His throne, surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. You’ll feast and sing and tell stories and rejoice in the same way you always have but just couldn’t see.

Trinity 1
Luke 16:19-31
It starts and ends with the alpha and the omega Jesus. No one lives in faithful service and self-giving love apart from first and always received the faithful and self-sacrificing love of Christ crucified. Receive Jesus for your forgiveness and He’ll work love in you for neighbor by His Spirit. You don’t need to go inspecting your life for love and charity to prove your faith. Rather remain in His Word and Baptism and Supper, the gifts that give faith and He’ll do all the loving for and through you.

Pentecost
Acts 2
A grave threat to the Church has appeared, hiding in plain sight. It has already decimated the Church's ranks. It is a deadly threat because it upends the very foundation of the Church. It's not pastoral cowardice, false teaching, or spiritual abuse. It's not people's fickleness, selfish need to feel good about themselves, or their hunger for novelty. The Church has always faced these dangers, but they have always been defeated by God's faithful, loving-kindness toward his Church.

Exaudi
John 15:26-16:4
The Triune God and especially the Spirit tells you the Truth about yourselves. Your sinfulness is so great that it cannot be comprehended. It must be believed. But likewise, and even more so, the love of God in Christ is so great that it cannot be comprehended. It must be heard to be believed. Thus, God the Spirit equips you with the sword that is the Word of God. And the Spirit attacks and defends you through this Word. The Gospel of Jesus’ forgiveness fights against the devil, the world, and our flesh. Christ, the valiant One, fights for you and arms you for the fight.

Rogate
John 16:23-30
Yes, prayer is hard. it requires discipline, persistence, and patience. The struggle grappling with God in prayer is not because of some intrinsic failure of God. It’s only hard because you fail to listen, receive, and be blessed by God through His Word and gifts. The fight is not with God. He has promised to hear, answer, and provide. And so, Jesus teaches you to prayer. He gives you the words to speak. He establishes the rhythm and pattern of the Christian life lived in prayer. Because Jesus died for you, you know, without a shadow of doubt, that God the Father loves you, hears you, and always answers you.

As history and experience have proven, the political class won’t help and save us. They are leading this delusion. We don't need more lockdowns, social isolation and masks to break free of death. That's cultish thinking, and it won't help you save yourself. Only Jesus can and does save you from personal, economic and social destruction. He is the Author of your life and the Creator of your body, soul, and mind. His baptismal promises are your true and only wealth. Gathering with brother and sister Christians around His body and blood is your society, the congregation of sinners redeemed by the blood of Christ.

The answer to the religious chaos of this world and Christianity is Jesus alone. He promises, “There will be one flock, one shepherd.” There is only one, holy, catholic, and Apostolic church. There is only one Good Shepherd. Our confession of the church is bound to our confession of Jesus. Where you hear Jesus’ voice in truth and purity, there you are hearing the Good Shepherd. Where the Good Shepherd is laying down His life that you would have life in Him, there is His true sheepfold. Where sheep are gathered to receive their crucified Shepherd for their forgiveness, there is the true church.

The reason for not addressing doubt might be fear of being wrong or its laziness and neglect. It’s hard work. It takes time. You might be perceived as a stick in the mud. Your neighbors may wonder what’s wrong with you. And it’s true you may fail to give trust where it’s earned. So start there, giving everyone trust. And when doubt arises in your heart, push back. Challenge one another. Ask questions. Do the research. God gave you your heart and mind, your doubts which lead your imagination and inquiry. You may be wrong in which case you’ll be led out of ignorance. Or your suspicions may be correct, and your neighbor in error and now corrected. And in so doing, both you and your neighbor’s faith and life will increase. “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” (Proverbs 27:17)

Every stone that lays heavy on your heart and conscience has been rolled away into the depths of the sea.

You have no problem forgiving those who love you, serve you, and show you due humility. But forgive those who hate you, who slander you, who impose their will on you, who oppress you, or who tyrannize you? That takes some real effort and more than you have. What you want is sacrifice before forgiveness. You want them to grovel, beg, plead. This is your natural religion.

We Christians should... cherish this Testament as a treasure of the highest value, should love it dearly, and should make use of it cheerfully and frequently, deriving from it much joy and consolation, thus fulfilling the will of our dying Lord and Savior. His command in this regard is plain; He urges upon us the use of this Sacrament. True Christians will never disregard this command, but will readily and often find comfort in its fulfillment, even until that day when the Lord, who Himself gave us such a Testament, shall again come from heaven to judge the living and the dead.

Words matter. Your entire life is dependent on you knowing words, what those words mean, and how to speak those words in a way that is intelligent and intelligible. Literacy is essential to for life and for faith. Without words, you cannot know the truth from error. Without words, you cannot hear of Jesus and His salvation. Without words, you lack the knowledge of what love for neighbor looks like. Words matter.

According to the best stories we have, and there’s no reason to doubt them, Peter was crucified upside down, and his brother Andrew died on an x shaped cross. Philip died by beheading or possibly stoning, Bartholomew was skinned alive, Thomas was killed with a spear, for Matthew it was a halberd, James the Less was crucified, or perhaps clubbed to death, Simon and Jude died together, sawn in half by some accounts.
That only leaves James, the only one (not counting Judas), whose death is recorded in Scripture.

You know that Jesus chastises those whom He heals. He disciplines those whom He loves. He doesn’t do anything to hurt you or harm you. Everything He says and does, He does for your good. He always has in mind the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. He does not willingly afflict His children. He loves you so much as to not let you live in rebellion, despair, and unbelief.

Laetare
John 6:1-15
We do not know what is in store for your body, your life, or your congregation. We trust that He will preserve His Word and your faith until your end or He comes again. The fact that we are here at all today is testimony to the miracle of God’s grace and mercy. God continues to bless our body and life as He always has. But we all the more store up the treasures of Jesus Christ, His Word and the holy Sacraments, confident that with this bread from heaven, the church will remain forever and we can withstand whatever assaults come our way.

Matthew 11:1–15; Mark 6:14–29
John’s call was to bear witness to Jesus. This he did in every aspect of his life. The story of John’s life, from beginning to end, points forward to Jesus.

Oculi
Luke 11:14-28
Jesus casts out a demon that caused the man to be mute. A demon? I thought those were mythology, a relic of a bygone era? Isn’t that just how those uneducated and unenlightened people wrote off things that they couldn’t explain, like today’s extraterrestrials? Ah, but we still talk about angels. We have images, figurines, and prayers that refer to them. Angels are real but demons are not?

Lent Midweek 2 - Zechariah
2 Chron 24:17-22; Matt 23:29-36
Too often, though, people do shoot the messenger. They react with anger and malice towards the bearer of bad news. That was the case with Zechariah. He was merely the messenger, bringing God’s word to His people. If people didn’t like what Zechariah had to say, they should have been mad with God, not with Zechariah. But sometimes people do shoot the messenger.

The new god, science, attempts to downplay or even eliminate both the pains and pleasures of this life. Its seductive promises cause you to hold out for some “pie in the sky” future that will free you from all pain and sorrow. Instead of seeing life's trials as something to struggle with and overcome, and in the process become stronger, the life-denying god encourages you to hate this life and look forward to a better life that's out there, just on the other side of the next scientific breakthrough or technological innovation. But how can this be true? Science has given you so much that improves your life! Except it doesn't and hasn’t because it's not Christ. Jesus is your strength and faith. He is the life-affirming God because Jesus is Life itself, and anything that is not Jesus is not God, and therefore cannot give you true life.

Samson is a reminder to us of the faults and flaws shared by all the Lord’s servants. No one is perfect and righteous and holy on their own, and it does us no good to compare Samson with Abraham or Moses or David. They are all equally sinful. And they all equally depend on the grace of God.

Baptism, temptation, and cross all go together. This is the way of Jesus and His way is your way. He’s the course set by God the Father. You follow the Son by His Word, led by the Holy Spirit. You are given new life in Baptism. You bear the cross as you are attacked day and night by the flesh, the devil, and this world. And finally, when your last our comes you’ll die just like everyone has always done, except you’ll see the resurrection to eternal life on the last day. There is no other way, or truth, or life that will do.

We are all dying. That’s the message of the ashes and the cross this day. One day those words will be spoken over your dead body, “Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust,” as your body is lowered into the ground from which it was made. You were not made to die, of course. Death is not natural. Death is a result of sin and all the brokenness that it brings. Adam and Eve brought death into the world through their rebellion against God, and they passed that sin, that death, that rebellion on to their children. We see the fruits of this sin crystal clear tonight as Cain murders his brother Abel.

Sexagesima
Luke 8:4-15
Today’s Gospel is a lovely parable about a sower and His seed. Jesus explains the power of God’s Word to save and likens it to the seed scattered on good ground, who receive His Word, keep it, and it bears fruit in them. But as parables go, there’s always something not quite right or flat out wrong. And that’s precisely the point where the Holy Spirit would captivate our attention.

As you look to Christ in faith, you are looking upon God Himself. As you listen to Him as He preaches and teaches, you are hearing the voice of God. As you were joined to His flesh by Holy Baptism, you are now God’s own child. As you are nourished and sustained by the gift of Christ’s body and blood, you are given to share in His forgiveness and thus His life and salvation. God is indeed with you, not in fear and terror, not in majesty and might, but in the flesh of crucified Jesus, and this “Jesus only.”

Disorder, chaos, and decay are all around. The answer is not to rely on petty tyrants, click-baiting press, pop philosophers, or others to provide you grounding, a sense of reality, and a lens by which to understand the world. And one after another, they will always fail you. Turn to Christ in His Word and receive from Him the institutions He has set up. Support devoted and faithful government. Reject the treasonous and ungodly ruler. Be ever attentive to your family and friends. Remain steadfast in the congregation He has given to you. Hold fast to Him and never let go and Jesus will see you through this present darkness.

Everything that Jesus gives you to live, breathe, and have your being is counter-cultural. Your baptismal identity in Jesus is now most obviously contrary to the world. You can no longer understand yourself as having one foot in the world and one foot in the church. Either both feet are solely planted upon your identity as Christian, in His church, and against the world… or you’ll be swept away in the flood that is sweeping through our world.

Christ Jesus has drawn you out of the devil’s kingdom. He has redeemed you by His sacrificial suffering and death on the cross of Golgotha. He has claimed you as His own through the washing of the water and the Word. You bear the mark of Christ, the holy cross on your forehead and heart. And you have been outfitted with the holy armaments of faith, clothed in Christ, shielded by faith, and the sword of the Spirit in your hands. The defeated enemy can hurl all his fiery arrows at you. He can prowl around like a lion seeking to devour. But He cannot take from you the only thing that matters, your greatest good: Jesus, His forgiveness, His resurrection, and His eternity.

Now, you are sons and daughters of the King, through the new circumcision of the heart, that is, faith. You have received this greater mark, giving you the new name, Christian. You are are marked by Holy Baptism, not with the removal of foreksin, but completely covered by Christ’s flesh. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. This free and precious gift of God is for all people, for all are one in Christ Jesus. There is neither Jew nor greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. God has put His name upon you, His people Israel, and He has blessed you. You are baptized. You are free. You are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise. You are marked and named—child of God.

In the Bible a sign often means something that contains what God is doing and giving. But at the same time, a sign hides under what appears to be the opposite. What we see, touch, feel, or experience seems quite the opposite of what God says it is. We can only know the sign by the word of God, which requires hearing and receiving, that is, faith or trust. The ear is the organ of faith. God’s dealing with us in this way reduces us to the point where we are nothing but receivers, receiving by hearing.

Christmas isn’t about being filled with empty thoughts, empty pursuits, and empty calories. Christmas is about the empty being filled with the good thing, Jesus for you. In Jesus, you have access to God and His heaven, all graciously given to you by your Baptism as your eternal inheritance. By the preaching and teaching of the Word, you are filled with the Spirit of wisdom and the knowledge of Jesus for you. Your eyes are opened to see Jesus with the light of understanding. He feeds your hungry soul with His forgiveness, life, and salvation in the Supper of His body and blood. By these gifts of Jesus received within His body, the church, you all will come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, each filled with the fullness of Christ.

All history is wrapped up in the swaddling clothes. All that was foretold and foreshadowed begins to find its fulfillment on that night. Time and eternity are joined in the Babe of Bethlehem. The Bread from Heaven is given from a manger trough, to feed you with forgiveness He earned by His body given and His blood shed at Calvary. And now you are wrapped up in Jesus, clothed in baptismal garments of His righteousness. The promise given by the Prophets, the Patriarchs, the Psalmist is yours in the God who is with His people to save your sins, the Immanuel Jesus.

You have one priority today. You are to follow John’s finger as he points to Jesus. Your ears, eyes, heart, and mind are focused on Jesus for you. Set aside all the distractions. Forget about COVID-19. Don’t worry about what’s for dinner. Lay off all the political chatter. Stop making your plans for the holiday. Stop, listen, and focus. If you fail to listen to His voice, you will not hear His saving Word. If you do not hear, you cannot see your Redeemer. Instead, hold on to Jesus and don’t let go. Receive His Word and gifts and you’ll know Him.

- December 2020 - Advent 3 - Matthew 11:2-10
The flesh, the world, and demonic authoritarians hate everything given by God the Father. They hate creation and violently want to reshape it. They hate human life and seek to destroy, alter, and transcend it through violent manipulation. Their violence leads to immorality, destruction, and death. But most of all they hate the gift of the Son of the Father, Jesus, and the kingdom of heaven, the Church. Why does the mob hate you and despise the Church? Because the violent must oppress anything that undermines their worldview.

What is the future? What is your future? Everything is moving forward toward that great day when we shall meet the Lord face to face. Time is given that the Gospel be preached to all people. The future is for repentance. The great net of Christ’s kingdom must be drawn through the sea of time. A great catch will be brought upon the shore. And all the righteous and evil finally separated from one another forever.

Everything needed for your salvation is gift. Even the oil of faith is given to you as a free gift. Thus, the difference between the wise and foolish is not in outward appearances. Both look like Christian from head to toe. The difference between the wise and foolish is not living a Christian life. The difference between the wise and foolish is trust in the Bridegroom.

In every sphere of life, fear, love, and trust in God above all things. Keep the state where it belongs and let the church be the church, a place where Gospel forgiveness is preached freely and the gifts that deliver this forgiveness are unrestricted.

What is the cure for an unforgiving heart? How can we overcome our grudges. our resentments, and our refusal to be merciful? Consider the beginning of the parable. Consider the amount of debt, the essential point. A talent is twenty year’s wages. Ten thousand talents is thus something well over a billion dollars and likely close to ten billion. That is the debt of sin Jesus your King has forgiven you.

Who are you? Where did you come from? The answer given by God through revelation to John is given today for your comfort and every hope. The answer to these two questions are our every hope for our daily lives and our life as a congregation of saints. You “are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” (Re 7:14)

What does Christ say about those who remain in His Word? First, He said that you are His true disciples and members of the true Church. Second, that you know the truth. And third, that this Word makes you truly free. Remain in God’s Word as His true disciples. Fix your hearts on Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life. Learn and believe the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be free!

The justice and vengeance for evil and wickedness committed against you and by you were entirely taken into His body. He suffered the pain and anguish deserved for our sin. He was flogged for your neighbor's trespasses, beaten for your enemies’ treachery, killed for every unjust act man has ever committed. He died the death of the cross for your sins, confessed and unconfessed. “‘Vengeance is mine,’ says the LORD.” He has exacted the punishment you and your neighbor deserves upon His own son.

Christ’s person and work is inseparable from His teaching. Christ’s person and work is the focus and the foundation of His teaching. If this foundation crumbles, then the entire structure of his teaching falls down. Jesus says this Himself in today's Gospel. After the Pharisees had referred the question, "What is the greatest commandment in the Law?" to Him and Christ had answered this question, He subsequently put forward the question to the Pharisees: "What do you think about Christ?" Now, that’s the real question.

Each Divine Service, you are taken from the land of death into the land of life. You are led from wilderness wandering through waters into the promised land. All who are weak, guilty, terrified, ashamed, fearful, humiliated, dying… receive strength in the forgiveness of your sins received in Christ’s body and blood, given and shed for you. He takes from the lowest seat and gives a seat of honor, along with all joined in the unity of the Spirit with Jesus Christ. Be exalted, lifted up, resurrected in the Lord. Amen.

Trinity 15
Matt. 6:24-34; Gal 6:9-10
Without Jesus, we'll believe the liars who tell us that the goal of Christian life is to, "Get along with everybody, comply, bend the knee, and obey the authorities because it's the nice thing to do. It's what God wants us to do.” Without Jesus, we're at the mercy of life's temptations, subject to idols, and doomed to be consumed by worry. Sinful, evil men will rule over us. Petty authoritarians will discourage us. Society will be eclipsed by moral darkness. The bullies of the world will take to the streets to terrorize and prey upon all the nice people. But, when we're in Christ Jesus through faith, we can defy and defeat evil because He will deliver our enemy into our hands, just as He's promised.

Jesus’s ways are not your ways and His thoughts are not your thoughts. He seems to go out of his way to put himself in the worst situations. He doesn’t avoid the awkward. He doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable. He doesn’t hide from the disgusting. He puts His own life at risk even gives His own life that others may live. Seeing a village of lepers, you would take the long way around. You’d circle back, take a detour, or go the long way around. Lepers are gross. They’re sick, they’re disgusting, they’re unclean. Yes, today, leprosy is easily cured by modern medicine available in any first world country. You’re not likely going to know any leper.

As a nation, we can strive to improve our laws, to elect virtuous and wise rulers, seek to bring justice and peace to all our citizens. But there is no possibility of a perfect union of states. While a noble goal and one worth striving for, there is no perfection in this world or its rulers. It’s a constant struggle to maintain a nation worth living in and leaving for generations to come. But there isn’t a single kingdom that has withstood the capacity of mankind to destroy, tear down, and bring chaos and disorder. Once majestic nations are now nothing but rubble under layers of sand. There is only one kingdom that has stood the test of time and that’s Jesus’ kingdom.

Jesus opened your ears and mouth when He baptized you. Jesus put His fingers into your ears, spoke to you, and washed your sins away. That's why, in the early church, the pastor would put his fingers into the candidate’s ears and say, “Ephphatha, be opened.” That is the great baptismal confession of the Church! When you were born, you couldn’t hear God’s words. But when you were reborn, Jesus “Ephphatha-ed" you. He opened your ears and mouth. When you were born, you couldn’t speak to God. But when you were reborn, Jesus “Ephphatha-ed" you. He opened your ears and mouth. He said, "Be opened!” And you confess Jesus as Lord and God.

Thank God I am baptized. Thank God I am forgiven. Thank God I am given faith. Thank God I am enlightened with the Word of God. Thank God He has kept me in this faith and given me the good confession. Thank God I am fed with Christ’s body and blood. Thank God I am saved. Thank God I am an inheritor of eternal life. Thank God I am His child. “Thank God that I am” is the right way, because that way is to look to Christ for every confidence of salvation.

Or have you considered what Jesus means when He says, “Lo, I will be with you always even unto the ages of ages?” As He gave that promise, He says the means that He uses to bring about that presence: in the teaching of His Word, in your baptism into Him, and by His body and blood in the Sacrament. His Word exposes your sin for what it is, His Baptism crucifies your old Adam/the flesh, and His body and blood that went into death and poured out from His pierced side is given to you for your forgiveness. That means that every time you gather here around His gifts, it is the day of your visitation.

Jesus commends the unjust/unrighteous steward to you because that steward scatters the master’s wealth to gain friends and a home when he is fired from his job. It’s smart, really. Everyone knows you should have a contingency plan if things don’t work out with your employer. Especially employees who are squandering the time, money, and assets should have backup plans, just in case. But does that make the unjust steward a hero or a villain? Does Jesus want you to squander the blessings of Father? Should you waste your time on unimportant things? Should you abuse your job by “borrowing” paper and postage, checking Facebook, and pursuing interests on employer time? Should you store up the abundance God grants for a “rainy day” or use it immediately for the one in need?

You don’t need God to give you more rules or advice. You don’t need a church to be a place of tips for living or full of activities that need doing. You don’t need to make a deal with God as you’d break it anyway. You are baptized, raised from such dead works, to live in the newness of Christ’s life. You live as free people, dead to sin and alive in Christ Jesus. You live each day in Christ’s Word, Christ’s baptism, and Christ’s body and blood. You live in the forgiveness of sins. You live in Christ’s righteousness and live forever.

Trinity 5
Luke 5:1-11
The direction of your life’s journey and where it will end is completely dependent on who you follow. All roads apart from the narrow path of Christ. Even if paved with gold and diamonds, they still lead to judgment and eternal condemnation. Not all roads are full of Christ’s mercy and lead to His heaven. To be a Christian is to forsake all self-appointed and self-created means of justification and to trust in Christ alone. As a certain scribe said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go” (Matthew 8:19).

Trinity 3
Luke 15:1-10
Jesus today speaks three parables in a row of the lost and how He finds them and restores them. Nothing brings Jesus more joy than to bring lost into His loving embrace. When they are found, Jesus rejoices with His friends, neighbors, and holy angels. He welcomes them and gives to them a terrific feast. “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost!” “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.” “Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.”

Trinity 2
Luke 14:16-24
The color for the Trinity season is green, of growth. The holy Christian Church is the tree that has grown from the root of Jesse. The tree is fed with the Word of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This lifeblood grants her growth. This growth is rooted in the death and resurrection of Jesus. This Trinity season you will be fed with Christ Jesus, that you may grow into Him who is your head.
Specifically, today, we learn that the lifeblood of the Word of Jesus is the Word of mercy. St. Luke’s Gospel is focused on mercy particularly for the outcasts, the poor, and the sinners. Jesus feeds us with His mercy so that would grow in a glorious shade tree for all those here in Chicago who need mercy.

Trinity 1
Luke 16:19-31
You are surrounded by disease, chaos, riots, protests, rebellion, oppression, and disorder. It has nearly always been true, as there’s nothing new under the sun. Sometimes the dark reality is hiding under the cover of propriety and decency, but its always there. If you would only look honestly at this world, you’d know it isn’t the paradise you thought. If you made a serious assessment of your life, you’d see the darkness within. If you’d be realistic in your expectations, you’d stop living like you’re going to live forever. But you’re good at ignoring it, looking the other way, and putting all your effort in homes, barns, boats, clothing, food, and fun...

So why should you trust in God? What does He say that you can't hear anywhere else? Why should you trust Him above anyone and anything else? Jesus has a life for Nicodemus and you that is extends out and fills the whole world. He speaks with a word that transforms Nicodemus and you who believe in Him by the breath of His Spirit.
There it is! The Gospel of the free forgiveness that is yours in Christ Jesus. All of your vain attempts to make a truth for yourself… all your trust in country, politicians, media, or gurus…and all the hope you have in what you have done, what you have built, and what you have set up for yourself finally won’t amount to anything. That’s because they don’t answer the real question that haunts your every day: who is going to save me from this body of death? How can I live even while I am dying? Who alone has life where all we see is death and decay?
That’s who Jesus is. That’s who Jesus was for Nicodemus And that’s who Jesus is for you. He alone is the way, the truth, and the life! God promised from day eight to save His people from their sins. He promised that the offspring of Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah would remove the real enemy, sin; destroy the bonds that hold us, death; and free us from the ruler of this world, the deceiver. And this makes Jesus is unlike anyone else. He makes promises and He keeps them! God promised to save you and in Christ Jesus, He has done it! And more that, He gives you this new life as a free gift, worked from above by the power of His Spirit. As you were washed in Baptism, you were already made clean. You were already given new life. You were already saved. And the Spirit of God keeps blowing on you to keep you with Jesus Christ. God the Trinity works in you trust and gives you life by the trustworthy message that you are saved!

The Spirit of Truth Bears Witness to Jesus
The Spirit of Truth bears witness to Jesus, who is the truth. But the world does not receive the truth. It loves its own and hates those who are of the truth. Just as Jesus was scorned, so is His Church. "The hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God" (John 16:2). Yet it is by Jesus' suffering and death that we are saved. Therefore we rejoice to share in His sufferings, that we may also share in His resurrection glory (1 Pet. 4:7-14). Through the ministry of the Spirit of Truth, we are cleansed from the deceit of our idols and given a new heart and a new spirit, the heart and Spirit of Christ (Ezek. 36:22-28). He now works in us fervent, self-giving love for one another, love which covers a multitude of sins, "that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen" (1 Pet. 4:11).

Easter 7
John 15:26–16:4
Where is Jesus? How does the Christian live in the intervenient time between the Ascension and the Day of Judgment? We might follow our doubt and think that He has forgotten this promise. Perhaps having set His church in motion, Jesus has left us to fend for ourselves? That’s what His disciples thought after our Lord’s resurrection. They hid in the upper room or hid in their work, not quite sure if Jesus was a man of His word. They grew impatient. Their prayers faltered. Their mercy ended. They drew into their shells for fear and with doubt.

The Father Answers Our Prayers Because of Jesus
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you” (John 16:23). To pray in Jesus' name is to pray as one who has been baptized. For it is in the water that He put His name upon you, claiming you as His own, making you a son of God with access to the Father. By His incarnation and crucifixion, our Lord Jesus broke through the barrier of sin which separated us from God, opening a portal to the Father. To pray in Jesus' name is to pray with faith in Him as the one Mediator between God and men, who gave Himself a ransom for all (1 Tim. 2:1–6). Like Moses in the wilderness, Jesus is our go-between and intercessor before the throne of heaven. He was lifted up for us on the cross that we might be saved and restored to fellowship with the Father (Num. 21:4–9). Looking into this perfect teaching of liberty (James 1:22–27) we pray with boldness and confidence as dear children of God.

Those Who Wait on the Lord Shall Rejoice - The people of God are pilgrims and sojourners in this world, looking ahead to a destination yet to come (1 Peter 2:11–20). Though we are now children of God, the fullness of what we shall be has not yet been revealed (1 John 3:1–3). We are those who wait on the Lord. “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him” (Lam 3:25). Jesus tells us that the wait is just a little while. “A little while, and you will see me no longer, and again a little while, and you will see me” (John 16:16). Though you must experience sorrow for a time, though you must live as strangers in a world that is at enmity with Christ, yet your sorrow will be turned to joy when He returns. “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength” (Is. 40:31). The little while of weeping shall be replaced with an eternity of rejoicing in the presence of Christ the crucified and risen Savior. “And no one will take your joy from you” (John 16:22).

We do not know what is in store for our body, our life, or our congregation. We trust that He will preserve His Word and our faith until our end or He comes again. The fact that we here at all is testimony to the miracle of God’s grace and mercy. We give thanks for the multitude of blessings the Father has given our body and life. But we all the more store up the treasures of Jesus Christ, His Word and the holy Sacraments, confident that upon this bread from heaven, the church will remain forever.

The Stronger One has come and conquered him and taken from him all his weapons. You cannot be deceived. You are not lost. You are Christ’s today and forever.

1 Cor. 13:1-13; Luke 18:31-43
Love is to be delivered over to the Gentiles. Love patiently suffers the scorn and shame of enemies and friends alike. Love is kind to those who persecute you. Love is mocked and shamefully treated. Love is spit upon. Love is flogged and killed. Love is crucified. Love gives His life for His friends. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love obeys the Father even unto death. Love dies for the sins of the whole world. Jesus is love. Whenever you hear love in the Holy Scriptures, you hear Jesus.

Sexagesima
Luke 8:4-15
Take heart, dear Christian! Christ Jesus has again today in your hearing given you ears to hear and tongues to confess His Holy Name. He has tilled your hard heart, crushed your rocky soil, and weeded out every care in you, so that your entire faith, hope, and love is in Christ and His salvation alone. The sower went out to sow, and He has accomplished what He set forth to do for you.

Jesus can do nothing apart from the Father (5:19, 30; 8:28). He does the works the Father sent Him to accomplish (5:36; 4:34). This is a real relationship with real, personal interaction, not just a revealing of the relationship of the divine persons. The presence of “the Jews” is helpful, because they have come to the grave, confident that Lazarus’ death is fact and death is invincible. And then Jesus overcomes what is impossible and gives thanks to the Father in full dependence. He is commanding faith in Him and the Father who sent Him! This has been the purpose and goal since the Prologue (1:14, 51).

Transfiguration
Matthew 17:1-9
For Christ turned His face to Jerusalem, suffering all in glory, that you would be glorified in Him. He has forgiven all that would keep you from being in the presence of God. You are given not only to approach Him without terror but are given to be joined to Him. He gives you His glorious flesh and blood, food and drink rich in grace and mercy. Now you pay approach God and live. Now you may approach Him and be with Him. Now you see His face and you have peace.

Presentation and Purification
Luke 2:22-32
Who God is, His relationship to you, and what He has done and continues to do for you, must be revealed to you.“No one has ever seen God; [but] the only God, who is at the Father’s side, He has made him known” (John 1:18). Jesus is the only begotten of the Father, who knows the heart of the Father, and can alone reveal the Father’s thoughts. He alone has seen the Father. And therefore, only He can tell us who God is. “Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him” (Mt 11:27).

Power struggle divides us into disputes. You put brother against brother or set yourself against your pastor in an attempt to wrestle control of the situation. In the end, no one wins…except for Satan. Only the evil one benefits when you Christians war with themselves. The faith once delivered to the saints is undermined and destroyed. You will be left either despondent, scandalized, or an apostate. The devil and his demons rejoice over even one sinner who rejects the faith.

Epiphany 2
John 2:1-11
Through the birth of Jesus, the light has gone out into the world. Today, you have occasion to see what this light means in different circumstances, in the church, in the home. God's glory that shines from Christ's face, spreads his light into your lives.

Epiphany 1
Luke 2:41-52
Today, you are blessed to hear, learn, and receive the very Son of God, in the flesh, yet hidden under earthly means. Christ Jesus has come to you and made you His own by His shed blood and innocent suffering and death. He may look no more impressive than a twelve-year-old boy as He comes hidden in the words of a book, with water, in an evangelical proclamation, and under bread and wine. Yet, you, by faith still confess that you have entered through His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise.

Christmas 2
Matthew 2:13-23
Your life is like St. Joseph: a hard road to walk, no doubt. Suffer evil quietly. Serve each other in your vocations. Don’t be ashamed that life is difficult for you. But, just as it is for Joseph, so it is for you. Rejoice now even in suffering. In the end, the glory of what God has done in and through you will be shown. You are blessed while you suffer because God himself is with you as you share in Christ’s sufferings. Your faithful creator will accomplish good according to His will. You may not understand now, but in faith you know it is true as He is true. Everything will work out for your good. On the last day, you’ll be able to look back and rejoice with understanding.

Circumcision and Name of Jesus
Luke 2:21
"And at the end of eight days, when [Jesus] was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb" (Luke 2:21). Merry Christmas! Today’s Gospel reading is the shortest of the church year. But packed in those few words is the entire proclamation of the Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ! Everything you need to know about Jesus is right there.

Christmas 1
Luke 2:32-40
Waiting is not easy. The life of the baptized is full of trial and temptation. As long as we live in this mortal body, the new man in Christ will always be at odds with the old man of death. Waiting with hope needs the assurance of faith. Thus the Holy Spirit brings you to faith by the preaching of the Word, through the new birth of Holy Baptism, through the declaration of sins forgiven, and through the sacred meal of Christ’s own flesh and blood. He does this in His Holy Christian Church where this one baptism is given and received. And He continues to nourish and strengthen your faith that you would be steadfast until Christ brings all His promises to fulfillment.

Christmas Day
John 1:1-18
Merry Christmas! Today, we celebrate the incarnation of the Son of God and the birth of the Son of Mary. And who doesn’t like a birthday party, especially when the child given is Himself your salvation and the savior of the whole world? Today is truly a day worth celebrating! For unto you is born a savior, Christ the Lord! But there’s another birthday today that we celebrate and that’s yours! For unto you a Savior is born, and in Him you, too, are given new life, a new birth.

Christmas Midnight
Luke 2:1-14
It may be dark and half-spent is the night. But the light has come. Jesus has come. Salvation is yours. And He still comes! His light still pierces the darkness. He still opens heaven wide, as we sing with saints, angels, and the whole host of heaven. We sing the song the angels sang because Jesus still comes! He still shines into the darkness of hearts and lives with His light and life. He forgives, renews, and strengthens by His Word and Spirit. And just as there is nothing that can separate you from the love of Christ Jesus, so we learn this night that there is no darkness in you or in this world that can overcome the glory of Jesus, the only-begotten Son. He has and will always shine His light upon you, tonight and always.

Christmas Eve
Matthew 1:18-25
Merry Christmas! When an angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream, he spoke three essential truths. When God sends His messengers to you, you best listen. The message this Angel spoke to Joseph was good news for him and it’s good news for you. So, listen!

Following after the blessed virgin Mary’s faithfulness in the New Testament are Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, Junia, Sapphira, Lydia, Phoebe, Aquila, and many others. So, too, women have a place in the church, whether they were born outside of faith like Ruth, whether they come from a checkered past like Rahab, whether they laugh at God’s promises like Sarah, whether they listen to temptation’s voice like Eve, and even if their lives are marked by scandal like Bathsheba. As Mary sang, “ [He has] exalted the lowly. And He has filled the hungry with good things.” That’s mercy. That’s forgiveness. That’s Jesus!

Advent 3
Matthew 11:2-10
John needed forgiveness, life, and salvation. You do, too. If you don’t know this need now, there will come an hour when you will. You’ll hit rock bottom. You’ll be imprisoned by your guilt. You’ll be horrified at what you did or was done to you. You’ll wonder and doubt God’s love for even you. You’ll consider all that you have done and left undone and despair.
Just like John, so with you. Look to Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith. Look to Jesus whose bloody death upon the cross of Calvary forgives your every sin, covers all your guilt and shame, and satisfies the wrath that is to come for you. Look to Jesus who preaches over and over the good news you, the sinner, desperately need.

Advent 2
Luke 21:25-36
Judgment falls only on those who refuse to believe there is no judgment. Judgment is for those who choose to stand before a Judge—who no longer has any record of sin— and make their stand on their life that no longer exists. Redemption comes to “whoever calls on the name of the Lord.” (Romans 10:13; Acts 2:21) Heaven is the gift every one of us already has by the death of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 138). Heaven is the inheritance we have in our baptism into Christ Jesus. The church proclaims Christ’s death and resurrection, especially as we eat His body and drink His blood. Redemption is yours in the forgiveness of Christ, His life, and His heaven. Therefore, “Look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” AMEN.

Advent 1
Jeremiah 23:5-8
For the last few weeks under the "end of the church year" our theme has been Christ returning in judgment. Now as we enter Advent and the beginning of the church year, our eyes look at judgment through the babe in the manger and through the cross towards the judgment. God’s promise is made manifest, delivered to you just as He said. Through his gracious will, you have eternal rest of Christ. In him, you are safe. In Him, you are secure. In Him, you are named His own. His righteousness is your righteousness. Christ is your Emmanuel. He ransoms captive Israel, saving you from the depths of hell. You see God's gracious action—His promised son sent for you—so that His righteousness is your righteousness.

Thanksgiving Day
Deuteronomy 8:1-10
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” It sounds sweet and good until you realize what he means. St. Paul is echoing Moses! Give thanks and in everything? Even under discipline, with hardship, in hunger? Even when things get rough, when they don’t go your way, when you struggle, and even when you face death? Absolutely, because in everything God is working faith for you in His Son Jesus Christ!

"’ll tell you what I see. I see in you the bride of Jesus, His holy Church, waiting and watching. I see in you, lamps lit with the light of Christ who lightens the world. I see in you, the betrothed and beloved of God, trusting in your Baptism into Jesus. I see Christ’s wholly forgiven bride, keeping watch for His coming, listening to His Word, and even now feasting on His body and blood. I see restored Israel, the new Jerusalem, adorned as a bride for her husband. I don’t see anyone sleeping, but every member of Christ’s church and bride awake, praying His Word, singing the faith, recalling all His wonderful works. I see in you, Jesus doing what only He can do: giving wisdom, oil, and wicks for your lamps."

God does not need your works to save you. He works everything needed for your salvation himself. The Father gives up His Son unto death for you freely as a gift. By Christ's shed blood all alone are your sins atoned. But your works do matter and they are needed. Your works matter because your neighbor needs them.

Trinity 25
Matthew 24:15-28
The church isn’t really all that concerned with impressive spectacles and buildings, moving hearts to tears, and stirring up generous gifts from impassioned pleas. The church is concerned with delivering God’s kingdom, because Jesus will have His kingdom. The church is concerned with sitting at Jesus’s feet, listening to Him, and receiving from Him everything needed both now and for eternity. And because you are here now, gathered with fellow baptized children of God, listening to Jesus, you really have nothing to fear, for you are Christ’s and He will preserve you to the end.

These are not commandments but rather descriptions of God’s people with promises attached to them. Let’s not run Jesus’ words today according to the letter but by the Spirit, that is, by way of gift.
