What Easter Means (Lectionary Monday)

 

 

The resurrection of Jesus means that our faith is not in vain. It means that we’re not crazy people. Everything that Jesus said is true! Easter means that death is done. Sin has been answered-for. By faith in Him, we’re saved from our sins. We have nothing to fear in life. Everything God does is done in the context of Jesus’s death and resurrection for us.

D’ya Ever Wonder If God Loves You? (Fun Word Friday)

 

 

We all do it. We look up at the sky and wonder if God really loves us. If he cares, or is mad at us. Don’t look at yourself. And don’t try to figure out what He’s up to. The way that you can know for sure that God loves you is to look at Good Friday. On Good Friday you see the death of God…for you. Does God love you? Look at Jesus, dead on the cross for your sins.

Maundy Thursday is “Love Others Thursday”

 

 

When you know who you are, and Whose you are, you don’t have to worry about being in the top spot. You can love others as He has loved you. Jesus is God, all things are His, and He serves others with His whole life. Only when you know who and Whose you are — the Father’s beloved child — can you look at others, love them, and put their needs before your own.

Why Jesus Came into the World (Bad Theology Tuesday)

 

 

Jesus did not come into the world to be your friend. He didn’t come to be a hero. He didn’t come to be a revolutionary. Jesus came into the world to die. It’s that simple…yet that profound. Everything in the universe that happened was about Jesus’s holy life and bitter sufferings and death for you. That’s what the Bible and Christianity are all about.

Judging in Corona-land (Bad Theology Tuesday)

 

 

God is the only one who judges. When you judge others (or they judge you) it doesn’t matter. The only judgement that matters is the Son of God, dead on the cross for you. Everything else pales in comparison. What’s most important is the suffering and death of Jesus. That’s the only judgement that matters, and it’s the one you need to give to others, too.

Jesus Quarantines Himself — to Save You (Lectionary Monday)

 

 

Jesus escapes death by stoning from the Pharisees by fleeing from them. God hides Himself — quarantines Himself — to save you by taking on your sin on the cross. He won’t escape on Good Friday. Jesus social-distances Himself from the Pharisees in this week’s lesson in order to make it to the cross, where He will die to save you.

Is God Punishing Us? (Bad Theology Tuesday)

 

 

Doom and gloom rages all around us these days. There’s a lot of law going on. You don’t need to hear that God is judging you, but that there was One who suffered death for you. There was One who was exiled for you, was truly alone, beaten, bruised, mocked, and died for you. And that One went through your death, hell, and fear and overcame them all.

Law & Gospel of Helping Others – Gal 6:2-6 (Bible Study Thursday)

It seems contradictory: Help others carry their burdens / You should carry your own burden. But when you apply law and gospel the passage, it makes sense. We love others best when we help them carry their burdens. But if you think you’re all that and other people should carry your burdens…no way. Carry your own load! Stop worrying about others.

Believing is Receiving (Lectionary Monday)

The parable of the Sower and the Seed is not about making you worry about what kind of ground you are. Focus on the Sower and the seed He sows (the Word). The devil wants to snatch the Word from you so you can’t believe and be saved. Receive the seed, and be saved. Believing is receiving!

Transfiguration: Shut Your Mouth! (Lectionary Monday) – A Higher Things® Video Short

As The Rock says, “Know your role and shut your mouth, Peter!” Hear Him. Stop talking, and listen. Stop thinking about God the way that you think about God and let God be God for you. Let the Scriptures speak to you. And what the Scriptures are all about — what this is all about is what’s coming up in the Lenten season. Jesus is going to die for you.
