"Forgiveness and life are intertwined" Trinity 19 2021
from Preaching and Teaching from St. John Ev. Lutheran Church (Sherman Center), Random Lake, Wisconsin · host Rev. Christopher Gillespie
How does Jesus give us such faith? Blessings for this life are given according to God’s good and gracious will. But bodily gifts such as good health, wealth, or any other luxury do not give faith. It rains on the just and unjust alike. Saying to the paralytic, “Rise, take up your bed and go home,” would give him a temporary and fleeting faith until the next catastrophe or until he faced death. Only the faith given by the Gospel will save in eternity. Only the faith given by Christ’s forgiveness is faith that finally silences ugly accusations of the flesh, the world, and the devil.
