Jesus Remembered Him, and He Remembers You Luke 23:27–43. The Crucifixion

The worst feeling is not loneliness. It is being forgotten. When you are lonely, you still know you exist. You still feel the ache of wanting someone near. But when you are forgotten, it feels as though you never mattered at all. It is as if every moment you shared with others has faded away, leaving you unseen and unheard while the world keeps moving on without you.

This is why the criminal beside Jesus prays the way he does. He does not ask for release, or relief, or one last miracle. He asks for something far greater. “Jesus, remember me, when You come into Your kingdom.” In that moment of repentance and faith, he entrusts everything to the One who will not forget him.

And Jesus does remember him. He remembers him as He takes him with Him through death and into eternal life. The first person ever to enter paradise after the crucifixion is a sinner who simply asked to be remembered by the Savior who came to remember the forgotten.

Jesus remembered him. And He remembers you. He remembers your name. He remembers your sorrows. He remembers your sins and takes them as His own. He remembers His promises to you, and He keeps them. Even when the world forgets you or you fear you have slipped through the cracks, Christ does not forget. You are held in His heart and His hands, now and forever. ----- Worship Times Sunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m. Monday – 6:30 p.m.

The Lord is Faithful. The Church Will Go On Luke 21:5–28. Jesus Foretells the Destruction of the Temple

Empires fall. Kingdoms crumble. Civilizations fade into dust. Yet the Church still stands. Christ’s Bride endures because she is not founded on marble or money or men, but on the living Word of Christ who says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”

Every generation has believed it lived in the Last Days. The early martyrs believed it. Luther in the Reformation believed it. Our parents during the Cold War believed it too. Jesus reminds us that no one knows the day or the hour. Instead of fear, He calls us to faith and watchful hope. St. Paul gives the same comfort. “The Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.”

Though nations rage and the earth trembles, God’s promises stand firm. “Not a hair of your head will perish.” “The Lord will keep your life.” Christ Himself died yet did not pass away. He rose again, conquering death for us all. And when our final day comes, we do not simply pass away. We pass through death into life in Him.

History bears witness. When Jerusalem fell in A.D. 70, the Church went on. When Trinity Lutheran Church in Milwaukee burned to the ground, the congregation still gathered among the ashes to sing and hear God’s Word. They rebuilt. They endured. Because the Lord is faithful, His Word endures, and the Church goes on.

So too here at Trinity Lutheran Church in Sheboygan. For 172 years, Christ has sustained this congregation through every joy and every trial, preserving His people by His Word and Sacraments. The world may change. Christ remains. His mercy abides.

Lift up your heads and do not fear. The Lord is faithful. The Church will go on. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ----- Worship Times Sunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m. Monday – 6:30 p.m.

The God of the Living | Luke 20:27–40 | Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection

Is this world all there is? That’s what the Sadducees thought. They didn’t believe in the resurrection. To them, death was the end. But Jesus says otherwise.

We confess that we believe in “the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting,” yet so often we live like this life is all there is. We chase comfort, success, and pleasure as if heaven were only a dream. But Jesus calls out that lie: “You are wrong.” There is more—more to this life, and more life after this life.

This world will end, that is true. But that’s not the end. Jesus proved it when He took our “this life is all there is” sins to the cross, died with them, and rose without them. His resurrection is not just His story—it’s ours. He gives us a life that not even death can end, a life grounded in forgiveness, hope, and eternity.

In Christ, you can live now like there is a tomorrow—because there is. Not just one tomorrow, but an eternity of them, in Him. ----- Worship Times Sunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m. Monday – 6:30 p.m.
