New Testament (1597)
  1. Jesus desires for us to watch. The question, however, is, “How do we watch for the return of Jesus?”
  2. Receiving our due and the doctrine of imputation.
  3. In this context where death looms large, Jesus reveals a kingdom where life looms even larger.
  4. The resurrection of Jesus was the moment when the one true God appointed the Man through whom the whole cosmos would be brought back into its proper order. A man got us into this mess; the Man would get it out again.
  5. Law & Gospel in jars of clay.
  6. The tragedy of this parable is not the failure to serve. It is the failure to truly know your Savior.
  7. There is life after death and, more gloriously, there is life after life after death, the resurrection of the body.
  8. Unforgiveness and Law & Gospel.
  9. Mindful that the pagans’ understanding of death is a finality, Paul says, “NO!” Death is not the end of humanity in God’s new world.
  10. The parable is harsh. It judges. If you do not believe, you will not be saved. But let us pause for a moment and think about why Jesus is telling the parable.
  11. Introduction and first chapter of 2nd Corinthians.
  12. Jesus breaks through our barriers in His beatitudes. He shatters our conceptions of the blessed life and opens the Kingdom of God to all people.
