Pentecost (588)
  1. For followers of Jesus, entrance is granted into the Paradise by faith in a risen Lord, even though we continue to struggle with the First Commandment, because Jesus is greater than Moses.
  2. The best way to get at the Gospel in our Amos reading is to connect it to Christ. It is too easy and tempting to associate it with social justice today. Our people will not need much encouragement to go there. What they need is the surprising and salvific connection to Christ
  3. For all the fault we have in our married lives, God has given us not just a helper, but a Savior.
  4. However awful the attack of sin, death, the devil, or the world, we need not fear. Everything is subjected to Christ.
  5. The big thing is God’s grand design, His good creation He has come to restore and redeem, the Kingdom of Heaven Jesus proclaimed in His life and embodied in His death and resurrection.
  6. Through Christ, we have the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit rather than the limited pouring out we see with Moses in the book of Numbers.
  7. Jesus is revealed not as some aloof, indifferent hero, but as the One who sympathizes with the sick, the hound of Heaven who chases after the wandering, the One who would salve with the oil of righteousness, and the Savior who would cover with His robe of righteousness.
