Grace from Redeemer

No, that's not how the hymns goes. Or John 10. Spiritually we are lambs, sheep, helpless and small.  We need a shepherd. 

Easter is much more than just Jesus being dead and then coming alive again. And the difference has to do with us. Luke 24 is the Scripture. 

The resurrection of Jesus changes things. Scriptures: Acts 5:29-30; 1 Peter 3: 3-5 and John 20: 19-31. 

In this pandemic we've all been worried about cancelling Easter on April 12th. Turns out its impossible to do. You can't cancel Easter!

On Good Friday we see and hear the truth about God and ourselves. 

Strange to have Maundy Thursday without taking the Lord's Supper. But it is a good time to meditate on the words that tell us what this Supper means.

Eternal life is not clouds and floating with wings on. It is this life only fulfilled and completed and restored. 

Ezekiel 37 tells a story about dry bones. Turns out they are us. 

John's Gospel promises that whoever believes in Jesus will not perish. Not perish: a strong promise in these days of death counts. This is the podcast version of last night's Lenten online worship message. Scriptures are Psalms 107 and John 3:16.

A man born blind and the coronavirus seem very different. But Jesus' response helps us to know God's gracious presence with us in difficult circumstances.
