The Lord perceives every degree of subtle & overt indignation, transgression & deception. Apart from Christ, our flesh pulsates in corruption. But Christ is incorruptible. His death on the cross forges for us a path abounding in peace, mercy & grace. Self-centered spirits decay. But Christ-centered spirits flourish in Word & Sacrament. In these good things, God inaugurates the mission of the church - to send out laborers into the harvest who are confident only in the righteousness of Christ. (Psalms 19:1-2, 5-6; Isaiah 66:1-7; Galatians 6:1-10, 14-18; Luke 10:1-20)

The Scriptures record mandates of the Lord God. He regulates heaven & earth with His statutes, which flawlessly affirm, nourish & sustain godly interactions between men & God. Above all, we are to love the Lord our God with heart, soul, strength & mind, and our neighbor as ourselves. In the torrent of sin, we fail to think, act or love justly. We are absorbed in disobedience, passion & apathy about our neighbor. But to this domain of darkness, Jesus delivers the forgiveness of sins. (Psalm 136:1, 23–26; Leviticus 18:1–5; 19:9–18; Colossians 1:1-14; Luke 10:25-37)

God’s Word accomplishes miraculous change. God declares that the barren womb of Sarah shall be great with child. Jesus, inseparably the Word of God, declares those once hostile & alienated to be holy & blameless. The counsels of God, once couched in mystery, now declare the glory, wisdom & hope of Jesus. Where the Word of God is taught in its truth & purity, we should be still, listen & believe God’s life-changing Word. (Psalm 119:57–60, 64, 105; Genesis 18:1–14; Colossians 1:21-29; Luke 10:38-42)

Patriarchs, apostles & ordinary people converse with God through prayer. Abraham pleads for the preservation of the righteous few, even in the midst of sin. The Lord tempers His anger, assuring Abraham of grace. The church’s liturgy is also a conversation between God & His people, shaped by confession of guilt & the outpouring of divine forgiveness! The Lord’s Prayer is the axis where confession of faith, sin and pleading for sustenance converge. As the Lord instructs, we are privileged to pray. (Psalm 50:15, 119:45-49; Genesis 18:20-33; Colossians 2:6–19; Luke 11:1-13)
