Jesus Christ (1231)
Filter by:
  1. We all do it. It comes naturally to every human being. Since the Fall, every man and woman, every child, everyone imagines he can use experience and knowledge to figure out God.
  2. She was my friend, walking through marriage troubles. Her husband was unfaithful to her, with the technicalities and carefully drawn lines of “not technically sex” and justifying himself, which had wounded her deeply.
  3. Jesus says that none of our goodness is good enough to pass muster. Likewise, none of our badness is bad enough to propel us outside Jesus’ death for sin.
  4. Did Jesus ever marry? Yes, He married you!
  5. Christians have long enjoyed an absurd love affair with white-washing biblical saints.
  6. Amazing things. That’s what happens when the Triune God shows up in Jesus Christ.
  7. Our goal is to proclaim the genuine good news—that’s what “Gospel” means—of Christ’s forgiveness for you. We do not offer you better tips, techniques or checklists. Instead, You Are Forgiven is sermons by faithful pastors who will clearly show how you cannot be forgiven by your own efforts, no matter how well you do on your homework, your checklist of tasks. But they will also show how you are actually and already forgiven because Jesus has done all that is needed, for you!
  8. But when we trust Jesus, then we close our eyes to it all and say, “Heavenly Father, I’m your child.
  9. The only sea of tranquility that can unite God and man and bring brotherhood among us is found in the Word and sacraments.
  10. We’re all familiar with the “outrage” in our culture about the trend in youth sports to award “participation trophies.”
  11. I can pretend for a little bit, but as soon as the phone is put away and it’s just me and my sin, I am fearful about what my walk says about me. I know what I should do, but I can’t quite seem to do it.
  12. Life is certainly unfair. But in Christ, at least in part, we rejoice at such a notion. Grace, that great descriptor of God’s devotion, is a word that only finds its purpose, only exists at all, because it exists as a response to guilt.
