The Transfiguration of our Lord (February 27, 2022)
Moses was a faithful servant in God's house; Jesus is greater, a faithful Son in God's house! He is worthy of our hearing what He has to say to us in the Scriptures. |
|
The Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany (February 20, 2022)
Our Heavenly Father has mercy on us. Jesus would have us be merciful as children of our Heavenly Father. He gives the power to do this in light of our neighbor's sins through His Word which leads us to be thankful and joyful in all that God has done, and does -- not only for our salvation, but for that of our neighbor (even our enemy). |
|
The Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany (February 13, 2022)
The distinction between those blessed by God and those cursed with the perishing is in what, or whom, they trust. Jesus doesn't take away all suffering or sorrow in this brief life, but He does relieve it with the assurance that we have His grace and the inheritance of eternal life. |
|
The Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany (February 6, 2022) Jesus taught the crowds, then He taught Peter to trust His word. Jesus gave Simon fish in abundance, and by the power of His word He gives us forgiveness in abundance as well. |
|
The Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany (January 30, 2022)
Jesus' word held power over forces of spiritual darkness and over fevers. His word releases those imprisoned by demons, by their sins, by the brokenness of our bodies and this world. He provides us with His victory by grace through faith! |
|
The Third Sunday after the Epiphany (January 23, 2022)
Jesus returned home to Nazareth. While His townspeople welcomed His miracles, they had less of a reception for Him, the Savior of God to which all miracles point. |
|
The Second Sunday after the Epiphany (January 16, 2022)
Jesus did His first miracle, or sign, at the wedding of Cana. Without a word, He changed water into wine. With a word He forgives sins, changes water into a saving means of grace, and makes bread and wine His body and blood for the preparation of His people for an eternal wedding banquet -- that of the Lamb and His bride, the Church. |
|
The Baptism of our Lord (January 9, 2022) The baptism which Jesus received was different from the baptism which Jesus has instituted for us to receive. By both baptisms of Jesus we have a Savior and the delivered salvation that He has won for us! |
