The Sixth Sunday of Easter
John 14:13
The love of God permeates our life from the very beginning to the end. We first experience this love through our mother. There is no more vivid example of God’s love than the love of a mother. On this day, we honor God by loving and obeying our mother.
Confirmation Sunday
John 15:5
Our dear Lord Jesus gives us Law and Gospel in this lesson. He is the Vine and we are the branches (Gospel). “My father is the Vinedresser” (Law). In Christ alone can we bear good fruit that will benefit the hungry world.
Third Sunday of Easter
Luke 24:49
On the very day of His resurrection, our dear Lord Jesus tells His disciples (the eleven, plus the two who had returned from Emmaus) that He will send the Father’s promise: The Holy Spirit. He will equip them to proclaim the Gospel to all.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
In the Apostles’ Creed we affirm what we believe. We believe, among other things, in the resurrection of the body. I believe in the resurrection of my body because my dear Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
Good Friday
Isaiah 53:7-9
Seven hundred and sixty years before Jesus’ birth, Isaiah describes with minute details, Jesus’ suffering, death and burial. God does nothing outside His perfect, eternal plan of salvation. In the hands of such a God, we are safe.
