New Testament (1536)
  1. The Baptizer is a prophet who has more of the Word of God in his pointer finger than most preachers have in their whole body!
  2. This text invites you and your people to see in the Christ not only the welcome but the inspiration to welcome the other, indeed the enemy, not simply to put up with, but to love.
  3. Today, on the First Sunday of Advent, on the First Sunday of the Church Year, Jesus invites us to bring to Him our humble places.
  4. The Christ of Romans 13:8-14 is the one who is returning to fulfill our salvation even as we wait, living with one another in Christian love.
  5. He is Immanuel, God-with-us, and He is with His Church, very present where His name is, very present where His gifts are, and very present where His people are.
  6. On the Last Sunday of the Church Year, the Church remembers her Lord who is risen from the dead but rules from a cross.
  7. The pattern will continue until Christ returns. God tears down in order to plant and bring about new life.
  8. Good works, doing good, is not some sort of value-add bonus to the Christian life. Good works are the natural, organic outgrowth of being grafted into the Body of Christ.
