“What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?” What kind of man is He? You’re not able to stop winter winds and cold or snow and rain. You’re not able to start them up either. You aren’t able to call for clouds or sun. You aren’t even able to tell the President of these United States what to do – right now. What kind of man is this, Who the winds and sea obey? . . .

The Epiphany season is almost over. During this time we learn Jesus is both God and Man. He is 100% God from all eternity and 100% man ever since He was conceived in Mary’s womb. Today’s Gospel, Jesus feeding 5000 men, shows just that. . . .

Epiphany Last, February 5, 2017 - St. Matthew 17:1-9

“And we have seen His glory, glory as of The Only-begotten of The Father, full of grace and truth.” When St. John wrote these words, he could have had today’s Gospel in mind. On The Mount of Transfiguration, he saw Jesus in a totally different way than his sinful mind was prepared to handle. He saw Him as God in the flesh, as “God in man made manifest.” Peter, James, and John saw on that mountain their God, and they could not doubt that. . . .

“Jesus loves me, this I know, For The Bible tells me so.” Do you know where The Bible tells you so? We like to answer with verses like John 3:16 – “God so loved the world so that He gave His Only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” God loves the world. He sent His Son for the world. You’re part of the world. . . .

Today we enter a time called “pre-Lent.” We’re getting ready for Lent. Instead of going into it cold, we take time to settle into it and prepare for the penitential season. So the Alleluia is gone, but we still sing Gloria in excelsis Deo. White has given way to green which will give way to purple. The Introit introduces the sorrows of Lent to us, as it reminds us that sin and death distresses us, so we must call out to The Lord to rescue us. . . .

Our Easter countdown continues. We’re now about 60 days away from Easter – Sexagesima. Last week you heard you are saved by God’s grace alone – His undeserved, fatherly, divine, loving-kindness for us sinners, grace won for us by His Son upon The Cross – sola gratia. . . .

What’s the most important document in the world? Some adults might say The Constitution of these United States of America. After all, it tells us how our American government is supposed to work. Others might say it’s the Bylaws of some organization, perhaps a hospital or a railroad or some business or this school. But that’s not the right answer. The right answer is: The Holy Bible. . . .

Easter is 50 days away now. There’s no turning back. It’s time to walk with Jesus “up to Jerusalem” to see Him suffer and die for us and rise again. Faith will not turn away. Faith wants to see and hear. It desires to behold Christ Crucified and dwell with Him. For faith comes to Calvary’s holy mountain and says “He did this for me!” Therefore you are saved by faith alone – sola fide.
