“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”  Christ alone secures salvation for believing Jews and Gentiles.  He temporally and eternally anchors those persecuted for believing, asserting, and preaching divine truths.  In the midst of strife, sin, disease, and death, God shepherds his people into eternity.  As His sheepish people, we listen to His voice.  So also we receive the living waters of Holy Baptism where He asserts His claim on us forever.

Collect of the Day
Almighty God, merciful Father, since You have wakened from death the Shepherd of Your sheep, grant us Your Holy Spirit that when we hear the voice of our Shepherd we may know Him who calls us each by name and follow where He leads; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
