Pentecost (694)
  1. But Jesus did not come to be a bystander to His own creation. No, He came to be a redeemer of His people and to rule over all as the Lord of creation.
  2. Joshua is not offering Israel a choice. Really, he is giving them an option which is a “non-option.”
  3. Christ Jesus, who is the light of the world, has turned on the lights, woken up sleeping sinners, raised them from death to life.
  4. We might think the course of our life is from our birth to our death. But Jesus opens our eyes to see that the direction of our existence is much larger than we can even imagine.
  5. The baptized, those rescued and redeemed by God’s grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone, are given an entirely new life to live, a completely new way to walk.
  6. The great Gospel comfort in our text is that the Lord is not through with us either, and He will not let us die or despair. Instead, He provides everything we need for our journey in life through His Word and Sacraments.
  7. This day is only part of a much longer journey, and Jesus invites us to stop looking at what He gives us and to live by looking to Him instead.
