Lectionary: Series C (653)
  1. When the “Book of Remembrance” is opened at the end of time there will be written on your ledger the words Jesus spoke to declare you righteous on account of His fully atoning death and glorious resurrection.
  2. He is Immanuel, God-with-us, and He is with His Church, very present where His name is, very present where His gifts are, and very present where His people are.
  3. On the Last Sunday of the Church Year, the Church remembers her Lord who is risen from the dead but rules from a cross.
  4. The pattern will continue until Christ returns. God tears down in order to plant and bring about new life.
  5. Good works, doing good, is not some sort of value-add bonus to the Christian life. Good works are the natural, organic outgrowth of being grafted into the Body of Christ.
  6. The unique character of righteousness in this text is that it will bring about “healing” for all the wounds inflicted by the unrighteous and the world.
  7. Jesus comes to us from eternity with His Father and He walks among us as one who remembers that home. This life is not the end.
  8. To follow with confidence, to stand firm, to hold the traditions taught by Paul and Silas from the beginning of the Macedonian mission, is nothing more nor less than holding on to the Jesus who was handed over, standing firm on Jesus.
  9. If He died and stayed dead, we would only have a dead savior, but the resurrection is the promise of creation restored.
