Gospel (60)
  1. I hope your people expect and even demand this of you. But how we proclaim the central message, that can (and probably should) vary.
  2. Though it may feel to us like the darkness is winning, God’s Word reveals the darkness is waning. The Light of the world has come.
  3. When all the people had been baptized, when all the people had washed the filth of their sins into the water, Jesus went into the water to draw their sins unto Himself.
  4. Because we could never intuitively figure it out, God reveals Christ to us.
  5. He is given His name so you could call on it. He is called Jesus, so you can call on Jesus and be saved.
  6. To preach Christ and Him crucified is to reveal again the revealed God who saves.
  7. This parable does its surprising work of turning everything upside-down, as Christ’s Kingdom always does.
  8. The Kingdom will be manifest when the King wills it, and rest assured, He is a good King.
  9. Jesus cares about the daily details of ordinary bodies and creaturely comforts, just as He cares about the eternal well-being of our souls.
  10. On the one hand, forgiving as Jesus commands us feels impossible. But on the other hand, forgiving as we have been forgiven is the most natural thing in the world
  11. What Jesus promises is better than justice. Jesus promises grace.
  12. This is not just a pericope about hereditary sin and actual sins, nor is it providing a pattern for prayer. It is fundamentally about God our gracious Father and His promise to hear us, answer us, and provide for us.
