Prepare for April 21 Lutheran Divine Service Worship & Bible Class
Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure by using the phrase, “a little while.” Rather than using a specific unit of time, the phrase encourages the disciples to realize that the wait, though seemingly long, will be over shortly. Our Lord does not tell us the seasons and times of His return. The three sad days where He remained dead, remind us that though we suffer, grieve, and mourn in this life, our weeping will turn to great rejoicing. By His death and resurrection we share in His victory. Our hopes will soon be realized, and when they are, no one will be able to take our joy away from us. You may prepare by reading the Propers of the day.
Readings for this Sunday:
Old Testament: Isaiah 40:25-31
Psalm: Psalm 147:1-11
Epistle: 1 Peter 2:11-20
Gospel: John 16:16-22
Join us for Adult Bible Class as we continue our study of Daniel chapter 3 by examining various quotes of the Church Fathers. We will also give a basic understanding of the history and culture of the Babylonian Empire.
