He Lives to Be My Good Shepherd in times of pain. I know that’s not necessarily where you wanted to go, necessarily, on this Good Shepherd Sunday, but Peter takes us down the path of pain.
He Lives to Restore My Hope
He Lives to Restore My Hope is an important theme. Hope is a necessary thing these days. If you watch the news with any frequency you can start to lose hope in a hurry.
He Lives to Bring Me Peace
He lives to bring me peace! That is the cry of the Christian on this Doubting Thomas Sunday. The second Sunday of the Easter season is a redo of everything that happened the week before. This Sunday is all about peace.
He Lives to Take Me From Death To Life
He lives to take me from death to life! That sounds too good to be true. When does this ever happen in life?!
VICTORIOUS End
We close out the Easter season with a plea. We’re back in St John’s Revelation to hear the two-fold cry of the saints in glory! First they direct the church to her Victorious Lord. Finally they call on Jesus to return and end the world. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
VICTORIOUS King
Jesus is our VICTORIOUS King, but he doesn’t always look that way. Ascension is a unique holiday because as one of the three great historical festivals of the ancient church it was a highlight of year. Ascension is the coronation of our VICTORIOUS King!
