February 18, 2024.Divine Service. 8 A.M.| Mark 1:9-15 | The Temptation of Jesus

In the holy gospel for today Jesus receives John's baptism in the Jordan, He is tempted by Satan in the wilderness and then He preaches His inaugural sermon. Loads of great stuff! In the Jordan River baptism, Jesus, even though He is not a sinner and never sinned, is the Isaiah 53 Suffering Servant who has come to take the sin of the world in his body in order to carry it to the cross and atone for it. No wonder the Father is well pleased with His Son! In addition, because the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand, the Lord Jesus would repent and faith us through His preaching. Repentance and faith! It's the biblical way to live in and from your baptism, this First Sunday in Lent and for the rest of your lives. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Bible Study: The Preacher who Dares to Say ‘Repent’! | Mark 1:9-15 | The Temptation of Jesus

In faith and the fear of God, Abraham prepared to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. At the Word of the Lord, he “took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son.” And “when they came to the place of which God had told him,” Abraham bound Isaac “and laid him on the altar” (Gen. 22:6, 9). Then God stayed Abraham’s hand and provided “for himself the lamb for a burnt offering” (Gen. 22:8). That Lamb is God’s own beloved Son, Jesus, in whom “all the nations of the earth” are blessed (Gen. 22:18). As the Substitute for all the sons of men, Jesus is driven by the Spirit “into the wilderness” to be “tempted by Satan” (Mark 1:12–13) in order to endure and defeat all temptation. We are tempted by our own desire, which conceives and “gives birth to sin” (James 1:14–15). But this blessed Man, Christ Jesus, remained “steadfast under trial,” and He has received “the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him” (James 1:12). His faithfulness, His victory and His life are now given to us by His grace in the Gospel.

Sermon: Jesus Shines with Unborrowed Light | Mark 9:2-9 | The Transfiguration of Our Lord

In the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus’ appearance changes. He shines with unborrowed light as He becomes utterly and totally transparent regarding His divinity. Jesus is God of God and Light of Light. Moses and Elijah appear with Him on this mountain peak and affirm that He is the Christ who fulfills the law, that He is the One spoken of by the prophets. And God the Father removes any doubt whatsoever when He says, “This is my beloved Son, listen to him.”

Bible Study: Jesus Shines with Unborrowed Light | Mark 9:2-9 | The Transfiguration of Our Lord

The transfiguration displays the glory of the Christ. Often, however, the participation of the saints in His glory gets overlooked in this episode of the Gospel. Their participation in Jesus’ glory has important ramifications for all Christians. For although all glory properly belongs to God alone, He also promises to glorify those who believe. The believers’ reward, for whom faith in Christ is accounted as righteousness, includes beholding the glory of God and seeing His face.
 
In this way, the faithful will also be glorified. Just as God allows the holy angels to partake in His glory (Luke 2:9; 9:26), so He allows the saints to partake in the same glory. Jesus gives to His disciples the glory that the Father gives Him (John 17:22; 1 Peter 5:1). Just as Jesus’ lowly body under which His divinity was concealed on earth was glorified on the mount of transfiguration, so our lowly bodies on the day of resurrection will be made like His glorious body (Phil. 3:21) Indeed, Christians may look forward with joyful anticipation to the promise of such glory as was manifested in Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration.
 
And in hope of the fulfillment of this promise, Christians find great consolation and strength to endure the trials of this world: ‘For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison’ (2 Cor. 4:17). At the transfiguration, the Father identifies Jesus as His Son. As adopted sons, we also have cause to rejoice since, like the adopted sons Moses and Elijah, we will live with Him in His glory. ‘ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us’ (Rom. 8:16–18).” - The Rev. Dr. Edward Naumann
