The Sixth Sunday of Easter – Divine Service One

 

Paul unmasks an entire culture of religious idolatry where objects of worship are rubbish and religious assertions are merely fabricated in the minds of men.  In the midst of the ungodly, he preaches the counsels of God, tells of the need for repentance, and confirms the resurrection of the dead.  The resurrected Christ is the one we worship.  His commandments are divine assertions.  By baptism, we are believers in all these things, loved by God and enabled to serve.    

 

 

O God, the giver of all that is good, by Your holy inspiration grant that we may think those things that are right and by Your merciful guiding accomplish them; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
