In the beloved and memorable 23rd Psalm we read of the Lord being the Good Shepherd who, in the words of the Psalmist, “makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me by the still waters. He restores my soul.” Here we are regarded as sheep. And like sheep without a shepherd, we have too many bothers and worries to be at peace, find rest, and to have our souls restored. But with Christ as our shepherd things are different.

Grace Notes 2026-07I am addressing you this month with a question. What is God up to with Gift of Grace Lutheran Church?
I’m always captivated by the appearance of the Risen Christ to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus on that very first Easter. It is recorded in the 24th chapter of Luke’s Gospel. And if you will recall, Jesus joined the two on their seven-mile walk, but the disciples were kept from recognizing that it was Jesus.
Well, we are under way in the Season of Lent. And the congregation has been invited to join in the 40-Day Lenten Journey toward the Cross of Christ and our being renewed in Baptism. It is by Baptism that we are joined to Christ’s death, with the great benefit of also being joined to His resurrection.
