Shepherd 's Heart
FROM THE DESK OF PASTOR GESKE
God’s Easter People
As God’s Easter people who are Saved by Grace, we have a bold proclamation to declare to the world that Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia. At the heart of our ministry together of sharing the love of Jesus is to bring people to know Christ through our teaching, reaching, and sharing that the message is true that Christ is Risen! Alleluia! One of the most powerful accounts in God’s Word that brings home for us the message of our faith
is when Jesus walked on the road to Emmaus with two men. These men discussed all that had happened, and they even invited Jesus to eat with them in one
of their homes. It was there that He
revealed Himself to them. Then Luke wrote, “They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven
and those with them, assembled together and saying, ‘It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.’” (Luke 24:33-34 NIV)This is the message that we have for our world today. Our generation, our world, our friends, our neighbors, and our family need to hear the message that it is true that Jesus Christ rose from the dead to give us the victory over sin, death, and the devil. God uses us to invite those we know and love to share with us in receiving God’s forgiveness and eternal life. We have an exciting opportunity to reach our community and world with the love of Jesus Christ. I love these words that said, “The critical issue is transformational change from country club congregations led by fearful country club managers and an ethos preserving church body into missional congregations with apostolic leadership in walking together as a band of missionaries committed to connect people to Jesus in a spiritually hungry world.” (Unknown)
Our world is filled with spiritually hungry people. God calls us to reach out with His love and bring people to know and believe in Jesus Christ. He blesses us to sow His Word in our lives as we intentionally seek to bring others to know Christ. Consider in the next month who you can share the love of the Savior with and who you can invite to grow with you through the ministry of St. John Lutheran Church. I look forward to seeing you worshipping and growing in God's house. Indeed, Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Yours in Christ, Pastor Jeffrey Geske
