The Word That Saves!
August 13, 2017
The Tenth Sunday After Pentecost in the Church Year
God has worked faith in our hearts. There is no other way we would ever call out to Him in our distress. When we ask Him for anything, it is always because of His Word, which has convicted us of sin and assured us of grace. Jesus, the Word in the flesh, took the Law’s punishment for us and has bestowed on us His own righteousness. The Word is so powerful that we need not fear anything, not our conscience, not the world, and not Satan. As Luther wrote, “One little word can fell him.” The powerful Word puts us in our place as mere creatures (as Job learns). It invites us to trust our Savior even more (as Jesus beckoned Peter to leave his boat). And it promises, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” That promise is so sure that we dare not keep it to ourselves. Let us give thanks to God in worship today and in our continued sharing of the Good News.
See YOU Sunday to worship our Living Lord Jesus Christ! Pastor Phil
