Gospel (976)
  1. Jesus' course led from death into life, as He had promised. And He promises to lead us on that same course from death to life, from lament to joy.
  2. As the greater and more faithful Son of God, Jesus did what the Israelites could not do. Neither can we.
  3. God saves us through people. He saves us through means. He puts a voice on the gospel.
  4. You have been given a glimpse of glory, the glory of forgiveness, that you can share with those around you in the world.
  5. By listing a series of situations in rapid succession, Jesus overwhelms us with how practical, how real, how tangible, how concrete, how utterly achievable life in the kingdom can be.
  6. Jesus curses our cultural expectations. He says "woe" to those who are rich, satisfied, joyful, and praised. The good life of our world is not good for discipleship.
