Alleluia, Christ is Risen! He is Risen indeed, Alleluia! 10 AM Easter Service.

Easter Triumph, Easter Joy! (At the Lamb's High Feast): "Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; Thou hast opened paradise, And Thy saints in Thee shall rise. Alleluia!"

"Be Thou my Consolation, My Shield when I must die; Remind me of Thy Passion When my last hour draws nigh. Mine eyes shall then behold Thee, Upon Thy cross shall dwell, My heart by faith enfold Thee. Who dieth thus dies well!" TLH #172:10

Today we also remember Luther's colleague and reluctant successor Philip Melanchthon (1497-1560) who died on this day. Melanchthon was the principal author of the Augsburg Confession (1530), and its defense, called the Apology (1531), and the addendum to Luther's Smalcald known on the Power and Primacy of the Pope. Melanchthon was a peaceful man, sometimes prizing it above doctrinal clarity. One of Melanchthon's great achievements was the revision of the education system in German such that he became known as Praeceptor Germaniae (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Melanchthon?wprov=sfla)

Jesus: "How often would I have gathered you...together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'." Luke 13:34-35 is Sunday's Gospel reading and the text for the sermon.
