Readings: Ezekiel 36:22-28; Psalm 51:1-12; 1 Peter 4:7-11; John 15:26-16:4

Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

There is suffering that goes with being a Christian. Your family, your friends, society, even fellow church members will persecute you if you are too into Jesus. If you wish to live according to Biblical standards; if you expect your own family as you raise them, or encourage your own family once they are grown, to live as the Christians they were baptized to be you will suffer. You’ve all told me about those struggles. About not wanting to alienate children. About not pushing too hard. And there is wisdom in not pushing too hard (Ephesians 6:4). But you all know that you’ve also failed to speak when you should have. That you’re kids attitudes, or family members’ attitudes, or friends’ attitudes have effected your attitudes, so that you do not live your faith as you yourself know you should. Repent.

Ezekiel 36:22-28
1 Peter 4:7-11
John 15:26-16:4

Christ is risen.  He is risen indeed.  Alleluia.  

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. 
The end of all things has come near.  We live in the final stage of history.  We do not know how long this end stage will be.  But the end is most certainly upon us for Christ said so Himself.  God’s reckoning of time is, of course, different than ours.  We wonder, “If this is end why is it dragging on so long?”  In our weakness we doubt.  Our sin causes us to question if God has actually intervened in human history.  It makes us think that if He even exists, if ever He did intervene, He does not any more.  At least not in miraculous, overt, easy to see ways like did in past.  And so our prayers falter.

Jesus vs. the World---7th Sunday of Easter---Exaudi

5/20/2012

Ezekiel 36:22-28
1 Peter 4:7-11
John 15:26-16:4

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.  
The Holy Spirit speaks from Christ about Christ.  That’s His purpose: to speak the oracles of God; to let people know about the Saviour.  It is the Holy Spirit who creates believers, who cracks open stony, unbelieving, dead hearts; who raises them to life, who, in fact, swaps out old dead, cold stone hearts and replaces stone with living flesh; who gives you rest and peace with God your Father.  And He does this all through the word about the Word.  That is, the word about Jesus.
