Lectionary: Series C (39)
  1. The people of Isaiah’s day had rejected God and His presence in the Temple just as much as people live in contempt of God’s Word and sacraments today.
  2. This passage teaches us about the person and work of Christ not in false personification or in the Arian way but in the true biblical and Trinitarian way.
  3. The nations are not united in one single language again. Instead, they are being united in the common words and message of the Gospel.
  4. The fact is all of Scripture is fulfilled for us in Christ. But the problem is, Peter was not referring to Christ fulfilling the Old Testament in this text. He was referencing the Old Testament as referring to Judas.
  5. The season of Easter pulses with the joy of God’s blessings in the resurrection of Christ.
  6. All the contradiction turns to praise when we see how God has reconciled us through Jesus’ death and glorious resurrection.
  7. One glorious resurrection day Jesus is going to lead this flock called the Church “through the valley of the shadow of death” to eternal life in His Kingdom forever.
  8. Is the mission and work of Jesus over now since He is no longer here, or does it go on?
  9. The work of Jesus did not stop! The mission of Jesus did not stop! Nothing can stop this new life through the Gospel!
  10. Through His death and resurrection Jesus will create a new community of mini-suffering servants founded on the righteousness that the Suffering Servant won for them.
  11. God could kill or make alive, or He could wound or heal. Mercifully and thankfully His choice was life.
