God (448)
  1. Christian mercy should not seek its own. It must be round, and open its eyes and look at all alike, friend and foe, as our heavenly Father does.
  2. The undercurrent of Scripture is the sheer fact that Jehovah God is a God of his word.
  3. The worship service is less like servants entering the throne room to wait on the king’s needs and more like a father joining his family around the dining room table.
  4. The Trinity is a handy shorthand for all that God has done to justify sinners.
  5. Our God is the one who brings back the exile, who restores the outcast, he is the one who devises means to do so.
  6. Our only hope in life and death is that God loves sinners, who fail and forget constantly, with a love that is just as constant.
  7. As astounding as co-eternity and co-equality with the Father in majesty and glory is, this is not the most significant answer Jesus gave in this Gospel reading, not for us at least.
  8. Our daily remembrance of baptism, our daily dying and rising, is a daily joining to Jesus and His death and resurrection for us.
  9. The celebration of Trinity Sunday–the only church festival specifically dedicated to a doctrine–reminds us of the necessity of confessing that the one God exists in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  10. If you want something empty, the tomb is the way to go. The point of the manger is that Jesus was in it. The point of the cross is that Jesus was on it.
  11. Your loving Lord is not oblivious to your pain and sadness.
