Memory Treasure:  "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" (stanzas 5 and 7)

This eight stanza hymn is maybe the most identifiable Easter hymn in the Christian Church. It is packed with such powerful declarations of what Jesus' bodily resurrection from the dead assures to his followers. It also reminds us what he continues to do as our Prophet, Priest, and King. As our Prophet, he continues to use Word and Sacrament to comfort us through life's tribulations (stanza 5) and to bring us safely home the mansion he is preparing (stanza 7).

5) He lives to silence all my fears;

He lives to wipe away my tears.

He lives to calm my troubled heart;

He lives all blessings to impart.

7) He lives and grants me daily breath; 

He lives and I shall conquer death.

He lives my mansion to prepare; 

He lives to bring me safely there.

Tuesday:  Bible Study: We begin a new study, one that will focus on some of  the minor prophets of the Old Testament. The first is the book of Joel. 

Joel brings a message of judgment against Israel for turning from the one true God. But  he also brings this message from the Lord of heaven and earth, "Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity."

Wednesday:  Catechism with Pastor Vogel

Thursday:  Bible Study: Part 2 of the book of Joel.
