If you were asked, “What is the hope of the Christian Faith?” How would you answer? Would you say, “life after death?” You wouldn’t be wrong with that answer. But you could do better. You could give a more complete and distinctively Christian answer, one that better reflects what our Lord Jesus accomplished by His death and resurrection. This would be the one we confess every Sunday in the Creed. The hope we believe and confess is the resurrection of the body from the dead to life everlasting. And contemplating this great hope is most beneficial.

If someone says of the Christian Faith that it all boils down to love they are not mistaken. But if we think we know what this love is and believe that we are capable of exercising it on our own steam we are sadly mistaken.

This may sound strange to you, but it is worth considering. Worship is not a means to an end, but the end or goal to which the Creator intended for our lives. Now it is helpful to have a more expansive view of worship here to appreciate what has just been said. Worship certainly involves prayer, praise, and thanksgiving to God. But it is prayer, praise, and thanksgiving not only formally, as when we gather at a worship service, but it is also in how we live our lives.

Some Sundays I am especially torn between two lectionary readings as to which one I will preach on. Last Sunday was a case in point. I chose to preach on the first reading which was the narrative of Saul’s Conversion. But I was also drawn to the Gospel reading and the account of seven disciples who chose to go fishing after two consecutive Sundays of the Risen Christ appearing to them. This Grace Note address gives me the opportunity to comment on that reading.
