Fourth Sunday of Easter, May 12, 2019

The assured feeling that we are safe:

Because of who Jesus is

Because of what Jesus gives.

Jesus is the Christ as attested with his words and actions—-no one else can be our Savior or give us the assurance that we have salvation.

He appeared in power, to assure them of his presence and providence for what lay ahead..

The risen Lord still comes with power through Word and sacrament, assuring us of his forgiveness, promising his Spirit for lives of faithful service, and guaranteeing our resurrection to eternal life..
