Lectionary: Series A (543)
  1. The people gathered in Jerusalem that day were making a bold statement of faith. They believed Jesus was the New David.
  2. Paul has gone through all this explanation to belabor the point: The incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ changes everything.
  3. Jesus did not come to be first. He came to be faithful, faithful to His Father’s mission for you.
  4. If your congregation promotes and supports “family values,” you should be prepared to take this text head-on.
  5. St. Paul asserts the baptized have died in Christ but this death then makes them free to live unto Christ. Complicated? Yes, a little. Let us try to clarify things a bit.
  6. As a prophet, Jeremiah only speaks the LORD’s words. Obviously, this is the difference between a true and false prophet.
  7. Jeremiah trusts the LORD to be faithful. He knows the LORD must answer, even though he is not certain how He will answer.
  8. The lordship of sin and its reign have been deposed by Jesus Christ. Nothing can stand to oppose those who are in Him.
  9. The Father in Heaven is the only one we have legitimate reason to fear. But in Christ, we learn that the Father knows His children intimately and values His children exceedingly.
