Lord's Day Reflections with Lawrence Westfall

Fifth Sunday after Easter (TLM - 2025) - Religion and Relationship


Listen Later

Happy Lord's Day!


Today is the Fifth Sunday after Easter for the Tridentine Mass.


The reading is from the Epistle of St. James 1:22-27.


The reading this Sunday speaks of how we must not just be hearers of the Word, but also doers of the Word. Also, it speaks of how religion is a vital part of being a Christian. Being a Christian, having faith in Christ, is belonging to a religion. That religion is Christianity.


In this lesson, it is discussed of what religion and relationship should truly mean to the Christian believer. It is also shown of how religion and relationship cannot be divorced from one another. A Christian can’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ without the aspect of the religion that is found in Christ, neither can one have the religion of Christianity without first having faith in Christ.
