In Episode 30 of Higher Things Radio you’ll learn that Laetare is Latin for “Yee-haw!” At least, it is when spoken by a Texan! Pastor Borghardt skips over his monologue and goes straight to everyone’s favorite guest, The Rev. Mark Buetow of Bethel Lutheran Church in DuQoin, IL. Pastor Buetow will talk about the theme of this Sunday and how that Lent is not about our doom gloom, but about our Lord taking on our sins. He’ll point us to Laetare as a foretaste of the Resurrection! Then Pastor Buetow will take us into next week Judica, which he notes is kind of scary when you read the introit! While scary though, Pastor Buetow reminds us that Jesus is judged as perfect that judgment becomes ours as Jesus is judged on our behalf on the Cross at Calvary.
