July 22nd: Luke 7:1-17
Luke 7:1-17
As the Scribes and Pharisees are doubting Jesus, we see in today's reading that there a gentile demonstrating great faith. This man understands that simply by the power of His word, Jesus can make his daughter well.
Later Jesus raises the only son of a widow from death to life. Again, Jesus does so simply by the power of His word.
God's Word has power.
The power of God's Word the means the Lord's Supper is the very body and blood of Jesus, not just a way to remember Him.
The power of God's Word means a person baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit actually receives the blessings and promises Jesus attached to Baptism.
The power of God's Word means that when you hear the words, "As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I forgiven you all of your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," your sins truly are forgiven.
