"Blessed in the Word"
The blessings of Easter come to us through the Word of God.
"Jesus Gives Peace"
Fear and doubt want to rob us of peace. God wants us to have peace, and Jesus delivers peace with his presence.
"The Festival of Jesus' Resurrection"
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Sinners know, our consciences tell us, our knee-jerk reaction to death reminds us – death is an enemy we can delay, but never beat. But we have a Savior, the Savior Jesus, who defeated our enemy death for us, proven by his own rising from the dead, and guaranteeing resurrection and eternal life for all who believe in him.
"The Vigil of Jesus' Resurrection"
Jesus is risen! His resurrection dries our tears; he has risen for the poor and lowly, the weak and the undeserving, for you and for me! We celebrate with the means of grace – remembrance of our Baptisms, readings from the Word, and the Lord’s Supper.
