LIFE THOUGHTS - When we leave the underwater
world of our mother’s womb and are brought to the
waters of Holy Baptism, we are baptized “into Christ
Jesus” (Romans 6:3). Now we live “under water” again
surrounded by the grace of God in Jesus and
nourished by the umbilical cord of His Word and
Sacraments. It’s a great place to live! Prayer: Holy
Spirit, thank You for calling us in the waters of Baptism
to be drowned in Christ’s death and raised again to
new life. Amen. Life Thoughts are based on the appointed readings
from Lutheran Service Book.
LIFE QUOTES - “The concept that the lives of some
people are not worth living leads to the death of
newborns with disabilities and infanticide. This concept
also leads to the continued devaluation of the lives of
people with disabilities and people with chronic and
other vulnerable conditions.” Alex Schadenberg, Euthanasia
Prevention Coalition – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life •
www.lutheransforlife.org
STEWARDSHIP - Luke 3:21 “Now when all the
people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been
baptized and was praying. . .” We know why the people
where baptized, but why was Jesus baptized? He didn't
need repentance or forgiveness. The answer is that He
did it for us. The reason God sent His Son into the
world is to fulfill all righteousness for us, to do what we
could not do. The whole of Jesus’ life, everything He
did and said, was one great offering to the Father in our
stead to fulfill all righteousness for us. With our
righteousness fulfilled in Jesus and given to us in
Baptism – our hearts now overflow with thanksgiving
and praise. Stewardship Bulletin Sentences are provided by
