"I don't have what I need and you have more than you need so give me some of yours." In Matthew 25, there's the parable of the 10 virgins with lamps. 5 of them don't take the extra oil for their lamps as they are not good stewards. They want oil from the 5 wise virgins. There's no such thing as redistributing heaven's treasury of merits. Righteousness does not belong to us...it comes from Christ. Our sins are forgiven because of Jesus Christ.

A number to great to imagine...Pastor's cherry tomatoes. Fruit born from Pastor's labors.Such it is with Jesus as He is the vine and we are the fruit. We have been made saints because of Him. The Gospel saves.

Special occasion: Reformation Sunday. The 500th anniversary of the reformation. The reformation brought the gospel and means of grace back into focus.The gospel is eternal. The savior was sent to crush the head of the devil. The law is holy and true, but we are justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

In Matthew 22, Jesus tells a parable of the king giving a wedding feast for his son. The invitees violently rebuked. Likewise, the Kingdom of Heaven's invitation is extended to all. We've been made part of the wedding feast because of Christ. We've been brought into the Kingdom of Heaven according to God's will, because of Holy Baptism. Also, we have a foretaste of the feast to come in Holy Communion.

We think we don't deserve eternal damnation, but because of sin - we do There's nothing we can do about it. In Matthew 21, Jesus declares law and gospel. The chief priests object and declare they have done all they can do for salvation. Furthermore, they judge Him for declaring God's Word. The gospel is for sinners and we are saved by God's grace alone. Jesus Humbled Himself to the point of death on the cross.

"That's not fair. I want what I've earned." The parable of the master of the vineyard who seeks those who have nothing and provides. (Matthew 20) The men who are brought into the vineyard don't have the resources to get what they need. So it is with the kingdom of heaven. We are brought in by God's grace and mercy. The Lord is my life and salvation. Whom shall I fear?

From the gospel reading (Matthew 16): "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" "Who do you say I am?" The 10 commandments indict and we can't do anything about it. Mercifully, He is "...Christ, the Son of the Living God." That's the gospel for you. "Blessed are you", because of Jesus Christ.

"Keep justice and do righteousness...keep the Sabbath...hold fast to my covenant"; from the first reading, Isaiah 56. Of course, we fail in this regard. In the gospel reading (Matthew 15), the Canaanite women begs Jesus to heal her daughter. Her faith is great and Jesus heals. We too are beggars, but we are justified by God's grace, through faith, for Christ's sake.

"I cannot by my own reason or strength." (small catechism) In the gospel reading, Christ walks on water. Peter joins Him but becomes afraid and sinks, so Jesus saves him. By God's grace, we can cry out to Christ for help and salvation. He meets us where we're at. "It is I, don't be afraid. Come to Me."

You have been elected. God has chosen you. Life is God's will, so don't deny His will when the devil accuses you, because Christ triumphs. If God is for us, who can be against us? Justification by God's grace through faith for Christ's sake.
