1. Eucatastrophe is the coming untrue of all sin, evil, and death. And where that starts is the empty tomb of the risen Jesus.

  4. Rod Rosenbladt, the encourager of all things good, true, and beautiful and a tireless warrior for Jesus and the Gospel message, finally rests at the marriage feast of the lamb.
  5. The more I got to know Dr. Rosenbladt, the more I saw that he wasn’t a man divided.
  6. He was rooted in his own tradition but gracious with others when they wanted to learn about his faith or their own.
  7. Anyone could tell he enjoyed teaching theology and loved his students.
  8. One way or another, Rod always found a way to bring whatever story he was telling back to the gospel and God's grace in Christ.
  9. In a world—and even a church—full of distractions, thank God for Rod Rosenbladt. He pointed us to Jesus and Jesus alone.
  10. In the Word, you find peace. It proclaims peace first between you and God because of Jesus. That empowers you to deal peacefully with others and brings you peace of mind.
  11. My goal here isn’t to selfishly reflect on all the reasons I will miss Rod because I know that if you are reading this, you may miss this man, too.
  12. Ever Heard of Candlemas?
