Church Seasons (1077)
  1. Paul is thinking of the cross and empty tomb, but the liturgical calendar places us at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, not the end: Jesus standing waist deep in the Jordan River.
  2. This Christmas season we are thankful that even though we “fallers” are unable to climb up to God, he came down the ladder to us.
  3. Mary is blessed, because Mary knows the way God works and because she knows His promises, and she knows that in her womb grows her savior.
  4. While the world and other religions might be fine with considering him everything but, the foremost thing our Jesus came to be and still remains is Jesus, Savior.
  5. Love turns out to be not simply a thing or action, but a characteristic of God himself.
  6. The shepherds are the most unlikely people to play the role the angels cast them in.
  7. A madman king. State-decreed infanticide. A fleeing holy family. What does all this have to do with Christmas? And how did a day of horror also become a day of hope? Today, December 28, the church remembers The Holy Innocents.
  8. Dr. Paulson has one more Christmas story from Luther to share.
  9. As Christians, we rest in the finished work of Christ on the cross, and we yearn for our neighbor to be reconciled to God, to know the peace that we are resting in.
  10. The episode of the boy Jesus in the Temple raises questions. It raised questions for Mary (and Joseph) and it raises questions for us.
  11. Solomon uses his new gift of wisdom immediately, but as he grows older he appears to use this gift less and less!
  12. As we continue to celebrate the mystery of the incarnation, this is a perfect moment to meditate on how the work of God “in Christ" unfolds in every moment of the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
