Pentecost (733)
  1. Sinai is law. Zion is gospel. Which one will save your hearer? Which one is the author’s audience being directed to? Which one are you directing your hearers to?
  2. He is not a teacher who answers all sorts of speculative questions. He is your Savior, who answers the one question which matters the most for you: “How will you be saved?”
  3. It is true that the congregation may not want to think about the God Jeremiah proclaims, but we need to hear this true voice in the marketplace of ideas in the world today
  4. Jesus is preparing us for a baptism by fire that will shatter our expectations.
  5. A life of faith is lived by “fixing our eyes on” the object of faith, even Jesus, the one dead and raised.
  6. How merciful is our God that He would impute that righteousness on us as well by grace through the same faith as Father Abram.
  7. Christian hope is not a pie-in-the-sky optimism in the face of lousy circumstances. Christian hope is assurance in the now for the not yet.
  8. God will not be boxed in by our worries and He will not let our self-understanding be limited to our needs. Jesus knows there is more to God and more to us than what we are worried about.
