Intown Lutheran Churc‪h‬ Pastor Lucas Bitter

Jesus took the hardest thing in this world - the problem of suffering - and turned it into the very means by which he saved us! Jesus will take the scariest thing in this world - the day of our death - and turn it into the gateway to eternal life! What a powerful God we have…

Do you ever get exhausted from fighting Satan’s temptations. Do you ever feel burned out and just ready to give up? It is for these exact times that God sends you his Word - to remind you that Jesus knows what you’re going through, to remind you that in Jesus the battle against temptation has already been won, to silence the devil’s lies and to remind you of the truth.

This side of heaven, suffering is necessary. It was necessary for Jesus, to actually pay for our sins and rescue us eternally. And it’s necessary for us, to raise our eyes up from this world and make us long for something better. But suffering doesn’t forever. In fact, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t last long at all...

Spiritually speaking. . . if you’ve got nothing but the Savior, you’ve got everything. But if you’ve got everything but the Savior, you’ve got nothing.

Through Jesus’ many miracles, God proved that he was legit. He really was who he said he was. He really was the Son of God! And the reason this is so important is that only the Son of God can help us with our very biggest problems...

As we hear God’s Word over and over, it continually reminds us of two things:
1.) We are forgiven, and nothing and nobody can take that away from us.
2.) The most important thing we can ever do in life is to share that forgiveness with others.
