A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: On this date in 1837, C. F. W. Walther, the first President of the LCMS, was ordained into the holy ministry in Braunsdorf, Germany. His words about Scripture's references to great sinners is indeed worthy of consideration. His conclusion echoes the words of the Gospel for this Sunday where John the Baptist points to Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin...

A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Although it isn't a festive day in the Church, the escape of Jesus to Egypt is significant. Matthew tells us about this event in 2:13-15 after the Wise Men left the region. Joseph is told to take Mary and the baby to Egypt. This fulfilled a prophecy of Hosea (11:1) and illustrates again Joseph's trust in God's Word and his obedience of God's commands. We can l...

Today is the birthday of Charles Wesley, one of the most productive Christian hymn writers. With his brother, John, they founded the Methodist Church. It is estimated that Charles wrote 10,000 hymns. We only have a few in our Lutheran hymnals--9 in LSB--including the Christmas hymn, "Hark, the Angels Sing." Today, I'd like to read the stanzas from his hymn, "Lo! He Comes with Cl...

A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: ADVENT: during this season of the Church year, we consider the "coming" of Christ. Most obvious is His coming to earth at His birth as we celebrate at Christmas. There's also His coming at the Last Day when He comes as Judge and King. But there's also another "coming" which we can ponder this season. That's His coming for us when we die. Jesus will come for us and take us to...

A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: John of Damascus (675-750) was a great theologian, defender of Christianity against Islam, and hymn writer. Born into a Christian family, he wrote several influential theological works, including a defense of icons. In our Lutheran tradition, we have two Easter hymns by him; "Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain of Triumphant Gladness," (LSB 487) and "The Day o...

A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: St. Augustine of Hippo was born on this date, November 13th in A.D.354 in the northern African town of Tagaste. He influenced western Christianity through his many writings. Among them is his famous, Confessions, which is a biographical praise of God's mercy to him. Besides his theological writing, he was a great thinker. One of his profound insights was in the area of ti...
