"Lord, if you will, you can. Heal my daughter, and she will be healed!" Epiphany 3 2023
Great faith can ask without ceasing for healing that God can only give. And I live trusting that as God the Holy Trinity has given Naomi new life in Baptism, and forgiven her sin, then God has also promised to preserve her life both now and most certainly into the resurrection on the last day. When I think I have failed in being a Christian, I can’t seek feelings or wait for victories or look for successes to believe in and witness about. Nor can I dig about in my heart to discover a strong and victorious faith. No, I can only be steadfast in prayer, constantly go to Jesus, awaiting the word from His lips, and humble myself under the mighty hand of God "that in due time he may exalt [me and you].” And His Word is true—for me, you, Naomi, soldiers, servants—“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

"Jesus loves weddings. He cares for marriage." Epiphany 2 2023
Jesus loves weddings. He cares for marriage. From the beginning, He created us male and female and wrote marriage into the fabric of nature. Thus, it is no coincidence that the first miracle recorded in John's Gospel is at a wedding. He blessed and honored marriage with His presence at Cana’s wedding feast. The Word became flesh and comes to restore flesh to be in conformity with the Word.

"Yahweh has saved you; His name is Jesus" Circumcision and Name of Jesus 2022
Yahweh saves. Yahweh comes into the flesh and even allows that flesh of His to be cut in keeping with the covenant to Abraham and the Law given through Moses. He is only 8 days old, and He allows His little infant blood to flow. And in this, He shows us the two-fold way that He intends to save us.

"The glory of God has gone out into the world, dwelling among the people" Christmas Day 2022
The glory that departed from the temple as the people were sent into exile in Babylon has returned to the person and work of Jesus. We see glimpses of the kind of glory of God in the Scriptures. The glory of God surrounded the herald angel and the heavenly host as they sang, “Glory to God in the highest!” On the mount of Transfiguration, Jesus’ countenance was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white. Saul was given to see the resurrected and ascended Jesus in glory on the road to Damascus, so brilliant that he was blinded until healed by Ananias.
"Jesus is given for you and for all who would believe" Christmas Midnight — December 25, 2022
But you do have an angel who announces to you good tidings. This messenger proclaims with God-given authority to declare to you the forgiveness of sins, deliverance from death, and freedom from the devil's lies. Your angel messenger tells you where to find Jesus, exactly where He is promised. “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”
"He came to save you and all His messy, mixed-up family" Christmas Eve — December 25, 2022
He comes to save His people from their sins. That’s what His name means, Yahweh saves! Jesus! He came to save Joseph and Mary from their sins. He came to save His whole family from sins, death, and the devil. That includes you, too! By Baptism, you have been joined to Jesus. You were adopted as sons of God, coheirs with Jesus of His kingdom and eternity. That means this messy, mixed-up family that Jesus was born into is now your family, too. And since He came to save them, He came to save you.
