God Remains Faithful - There is no difference between Jew and Gentile

New International Version This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, God Remains Faithful 1   Then what’s the advantage of being a Jew? Is there any value in the ceremony of circumcision?  2   Yes, there are great benefits! First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God. a 3   True, some of them were unfaithful; but just because they were unfaithful, does that mean God will be unfaithful?  4   Of course not! Even if everyone else is a liar, God is true. As the Scriptures say about him, “You will be proved right in what you say, and you will win your case in court.” b 5 “But,” some might say, “our sinfulness serves a good purpose, for it helps people see how righteous God is. Isn’t it unfair, then, for him to punish us?” (This is merely a human point of view.)  6   Of course not! If God were not entirely fair, how would he be ...

Bright future

A Bright Future in Jesus Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Our text for today is from St. Mark Chapter Sixteen. The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” This was the question that the women asked one another that first Easter morn. Their Lord was gone forever. That’s what they thought. All of the talk about Jesus as the Messiah seemed cold and dead on their lips. But they wanted to do what was right. They wanted to bring the spices and anoint His body. If he could not live, at least He should die with honor and respect as a great teacher. We all fight this battle. This battle with death. Sometimes the battle seems to be going well. We’re healthy, the kids are doing okay, and tax season is almost over. God is gracious, and there is much to rejoice about. Other times, though, it seems as though death and Satan are winning. A loved one dies. There’s ...
