Lectionary: Series A (543)
  1. It is interesting to note how there is no mention of strife, trouble, pain, suffering or sin in this particular psalm. Nothing but praise as the name of the LORD is exalted.
  2. John chose to write these things for a specific purpose: “So that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name."
  3. Nor can we see how God’s hand will guide us through every challenge of this life, we have to believe it. Afterwards, we see how it happened, but in the midst of challenges and trials, we walk by faith and not by sight.
  4. Our text begins with their answer to why they are doing this when they were strictly charged to cease their actions. The answer? “We must obey God rather than men.”
  5. It is safe to say that Easter this year will be unlike any Easter we have ever seen.
  6. The only point in being a Christian at all is if this message of the resurrected Jesus continues to be the solid ground on which you stand.
  7. This restoration is understood as a resurrection—restoration/return to the Land is equated with the resurrection to the courts of Heaven.
  8. This text is chosen for Maundy Thursday and involves eating and drinking with God—in His presence, real presence. This is only possible with the shedding of blood.
  9. Our God-given faith, despite our lack of sight, has made us sons and daughters of light who walk in the light even during dark times.
  10. Look to the crucifix. There you see God as God is, in Himself. You see God in action for you.
