"Trust in the Trustworthy One Alone" - The Festival of the Holy Trinity - June 7, 2020

So why should you trust in God? What does He say that you can't hear anywhere else? Why should you trust Him above anyone and anything else? Jesus has a life for Nicodemus and you that is extends out and fills the whole world. He speaks with a word that transforms Nicodemus and you who believe in Him by the breath of His Spirit.

There it is! The Gospel of the free forgiveness that is yours in Christ Jesus. All of your vain attempts to make a truth for yourself… all your trust in country, politicians, media, or gurus…and all the hope you have in what you have done, what you have built, and what you have set up for yourself finally won’t amount to anything. That’s because they don’t answer the real question that haunts your every day: who is going to save me from this body of death? How can I live even while I am dying? Who alone has life where all we see is death and decay?

That’s who Jesus is. That’s who Jesus was for Nicodemus And that’s who Jesus is for you. He alone is the way, the truth, and the life! God promised from day eight to save His people from their sins. He promised that the offspring of Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah would remove the real enemy, sin; destroy the bonds that hold us, death; and free us from the ruler of this world, the deceiver. And this makes Jesus is unlike anyone else. He makes promises and He keeps them! God promised to save you and in Christ Jesus, He has done it! And more that, He gives you this new life as a free gift, worked from above by the power of His Spirit. As you were washed in Baptism, you were already made clean. You were already given new life. You were already saved. And the Spirit of God keeps blowing on you to keep you with Jesus Christ. God the Trinity works in you trust and gives you life by the trustworthy message that you are saved!
