Luke 2:1-21

Yet again we have a song! The song of the Angels is a familiar one to us because we hear it every Christmas, but also because it appears in the liturgy.  Take a few minutes to listen to the angel's song (the Gloria) from Lutheran Service Book setting IV.

Luke 24:36-52 45  Then  he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,   46  and said to them,  “Thus  it is written,  that the Christ should suffer and on the third day  rise from the dead,   47  and that  repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed  in his name  to all nations,  beginning from Jerusalem.   48  You are witnesses of these things.   49  And behold, I am sending  the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you  are clothed with  power  from on high.” The work of Jesus was complete...kind of. The work necessary for the redemption of mankind was complete. The work necessary for the forgiveness of sins was complete. But making the good news known to the world was not yet done. Jesus was now sending His disciples into the world to spread the good news.

Greetings in Christ! It seems every Christian knows that reading the Bible is a good thing to do and that getting children to read the Bible is a very good thing to do, but it's very intimidating to know where to start. How much should I read? What am I supposed to learn from this? With this in mind, I decided to put together a simple reading plan for the summer of 2019.  This is a plan that is easy enough for children, but substantive enough for adults.  It won't take long to do the reading each day and to go along with the reading we will have a few thoughts, questions, and/or pictures on the blog each day that correspond to the daily reading. If you've had a hard time getting into the habit of daily Bible reading, have never done it before, or want to help your children learn to read the Bible for themselves, Anchored in the Word is for you.

Genesis 27:30-46 Sin has consequences. Having deceived his father in order to get the blessing, it should have been no surprise to Jacob that Esau was furious. But Jacob didn't repent, but at the advice of his mother, he ran away from the situation. Esau meanwhile became so angry because of Jacob's sin that it led him to his own sin. He hated Jacob and wanted to kill him. What could have resolved the situation in a better way?  Repentance and forgiveness. Who have you sinned against? Have you repented and sought their forgiveness? Who has sinned against you? Do you harbor hate towards them or are you willing to forgive as Christ has forgiven you?
