Luke Chapter 24

The Resurrection - Easter Sunday, 5th April 2026[Luke Chapter 24 KJV]1. They came to prepare his body for burial.Luke 24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.2. They find the tomb empty.Luke 24:2-4 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:3. Why seek ye the living among the dead? Luke 24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?4. Truth begins to dawn.Luke 24: 6-12 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. And they remembered his words, And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

Jeremy Dunne Speaking on Luke Chapter 11

When we hear about others who provide forgiveness, it is natural to wonder whether we would be able to grant forgiveness in the same situation. Forgiveness  is a complex and ever changing thing, and can be challenging to define. In this message we hear others definitions for forgiveness that can help us inform how we internalize and think about forgiveness.  Our message today comes from Pastor Jason. Our Gospel lesson comes from Luke Chapter 4, verses 16-21 and our scripture is from Psalm 142.

30 Days Before The Crucfixion Pat 2( ( Luke Chapter 19 )

www.gnosticacademy.org

A study of Luke Chapter 4, by Dr. Darrell Tate.

In Luke Chapter 2, we'll see an OT prophecy fulfilled regarding the Messiahs' birth. Jesus' humble origins in a stable are a great example of how God uses the humble to confound the wise. His birthplace also foreshadows His future ministry targets; the poor and lowly.

The Power Of Communion ( Luke Chapter 22)

As we conclude Luke Chapter 1, we witness the fulfillment of the word spoken by the angel of the Lord to Zechariah. Just as promised, Elizabeth gives birth to a son, and in obedience to God's instruction, they name him John. At that very moment, Zechariah's tongue is set free and he began prophesying and praising God for His faithfulness.

February 1, 2026: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard.  Amen. Tomorrow there's this pesky groundhog that is supposed to tell us how much winter we have left, and I swear, if that rodent sees his shadow I'm gonna go have a word with him, and it won't be pretty.  This has been a rough winter – bitter cold, lots of snow, and darkness that is cutting us to the core. But the groundhog isn't the only thing that happens tomorrow.  February 2nd is primarily, for catholics, Roman or Anglican anyway, the Feast of the Presentation, which is the final day of Christmas – for real this time – despite the stores telling you that Valentine's Day goes from December 26th– February 14th. Now, you may have noted that our gospel today is from Luke Chapter 2, and we are clearly still in the birth narrative, as Jesus is all of 40 days old.  He isn't even out of onesies or eating solid food yet.  It's a bit of whiplash, since he was just walking around as a 30 something calling his disciples in the gospel we heard the last time we were able to be here on January 18th.  But as it is such an important moment in his life, the church marks it as a special feast day on February 2nd.. Now, the church expects us to only celebrate this feast on the actual day.  But, because so many do not attend special weekday services, this day, like other feasts – of the Magi, for example – will get ignored if we do not celebrate them on a Sunday.  So, as we did last year, today we will celebrate the Feast of the Presentation today.  It is also a day on which candles are blessed for use at home and the church, so it is called Candlemas.  The scriptures of this moment feature so much in our daily lives for those of us who pray what is known in our church as the Daily Office.  It also is part of our parish's history, with two prominent stained glass windows associated with it – the center window of the Tiffany triptych in St. Mary's chapel, and this one up there in the main tower.  The chapel window shows the scene, and the tower windows have the words of Simeon, which we heard in the gospel reading.  Now, let's get to this story, because it is offers something important for us in the context in which we live now. In the verse just before what we heard today, we find that Jesus is going to a bris, and unfortunately for him, he isn't the one bringing a gift.  Joseph and Mary have him circumcised and he is named.  Then we get to this story today, where 40 days after his birth, they bring Jesus to the temple to be presented to God in accordance with the law for her purification and his redemption that we get in that fabulous book that everyone loves – Leviticus.  All this to say that Jesus is raised in the knowledge and adherence to Jewish scripture and law.  There's a lot going on in these verses, but I want to focus on two people – Simeon and Anna. Now first we need to set the scene.  The temple isn't like the size of our churches today.  This place is huge – many times larger than our largest cathedrals. So, you'd think no one would really pay any attention to this little family walking in.  And yet, against all odds, two people did notice them – Simeon and Anna. Simeon was, according to the text, a righteous and devout man who had been told by God that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah.  He is guided by the Holy Spirit to come to the temple that day, and he listens and goes.  There he sees the child Jesus, and takes him in his arms and says what is known in the church as the Nunc Dimmitis, Latin for the first words “now depart.” I will use the version we say in Evening Prayer, which differs slightly from the wording we heard today: “Lord, you now have set your servant free to go in peace as you have promised; For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, whom you have prepared for all the world to see: A Light to enlighten the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.”  He then foretells to Mary the destiny that awaits this child, and that it will pierce her heart. Then Anna, a prophet, sees the baby Jesus, and also proclaims the destiny that awaits him and what it will mean for the people of Israel.  Of course, Simeon gets the focus in our prayer book, and Anna is essentially forgotten – what else is new, right? So, what does all this have to say to us? Well, let's go back to our righteous guy Simeon.  He says “…these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, whom you have prepared for all the world to see: A Light to enlighten the nations…”  To be sure, this is about far more than bringing light into the darkness – which, of course, is a powerfully important thing to do.  But this is also about that light casting aside ignorance and bringing knowledge to the people – specifically, the knowledge of God.  Jesus would do both.  His presence among the people was the light that overcame the shadows of darkness, and he taught his followers what it meant to be part of the kingdom of God, rather than of humanity.  He did this, not by sitting back in Galilee preaching in the synagogue, but by being out in the world healing the sick, advocating for the vulnerable, and spreading the good news of God's love. We are called to be like Jesus – a light to enlighten the nations. – in what we proclaim, and by our actions in the world. And if there was ever a time to live out our lives in Christ, it is now, because darkness has spread across our country.  People are being snatched out of their homes without a warrant, pushed to the ground and beaten, children are grabbed and sent to prison, protestors exercising their first amendment rights are sprayed intentionally up close with chemical irritants or bombed with tear gas, and others are brutally killed.  This is a time when all the world hopes for a light to enlighten our nation!  And folks, there are a LOT of followers of Jesus being exactly that right here in our country.  Clergy and laity are in the streets loving their neighbor, welcoming the stranger, protecting the vulnerable, and crying out for justice for the oppressed.  Two days ago, 150 Episcopal bishops signed a letter that put a simple question before us: “Whose dignity matters?”  They called “on Americans to trust their moral compass” – “to question rhetoric that trades in fear rather than truth.” Noting that “As Episcopalians, our moral compass is rooted firmly in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Indeed.  And I take heart, as I hope you do, that our leadership in the church is witnessing to that gospel of all inclusive love. We must join with them, and so many others, as a witness to the gospel – as lights to enlighten this nation.  We must do this both by what we proclaim and by our actions in the world.  What that looks like will depend on your own situation. As I said last time we were together, if you are caring for others, are aged or infirm, or are vulnerable yourself – you will need to protect yourself first, and proclaim the gospel in ways that do not put yourselves at risk.  The rest of us – we need to be out in the streets.  And as your priest, I cannot ask of you what I will not do myself.  I am called to set an example in word and deed, even to the cross if necessary. Now, I shared much of what I am about to tell you in an article I wrote for the Diocese of Newark, but I also want to share it with you now, in case some have not read it. When I got home from church two weeks ago, after preaching on the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Sunday, a call went out from clergy in Minneapolis to clergy across the country. Echoing King's call to clergy to come to Selma, they asked us to come to Minneapolis to stand, march, and pray with them on January 23rd for what was being called A Day of Truth & Freedom. Like many others, I knew in my heart that I had to answer that call.  Yes, we were being asked to enter a dangerous situation. Yes, it would be winter in Minnesota, with temperatures predicted to be 30 below with the windchill. Yes, we are exhausted, like so many of you, having shown up again and again for vigils, marches, and protests. And yet, as King's words resounded from our pulpits on the day we celebrated him, I was reminded of something he said that I had just included in my sermon on that very Sunday: that there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but must do it because conscience demands it.  How could I preach it, and not live it? And so, on Thursday night, January 22nd, I found myself in Minneapolis during an extreme cold warning. The morning of the march, I woke to a temperature of -21 degrees and layered myself accordingly. I headed to Gethsemane Episcopal Church, a closed parish of the Diocese of Minnesota just a few blocks from The Commons, where the march was to begin. The streets were empty, the shops and schools closed – all part of this act of resistance. When I arrived, clergy and laity were already gathered to pray  before joining the thousands who had come to stand against the brutality, cruelty, and lawlessness of the federal occupation of this once-peaceful city.  While there, I received a text warning that federal agents might use water cannons on protesters – which, of course, in that type of cold, would be deadly. I put my phone away, donned my make-shift tear-gas mask, and joined my colleagues as we headed out the door. Singing “This Little Light of Mine,” we left the church and merged with thousands entering from every direction. The crowd was so massive that it took nearly an hour for those of us gathered at the starting point to fully enter the march. We moved slowly, navigating ice-covered streets before surging forward into the march itself. Despite the bitter cold, which with windchill was about -35, nothing could dampen the fervor of the protesters or quiet our voices. We called for ICE to leave Minnesota. We spoke aloud the name of Renee Good, killed by an ICE agent. We named Liam Ramos, a five-year-old child used as bait by ICE to lure out his family before being sent with his father to a prison in Texas. We demanded justice, accountability, and an end to the occupation. It is impossible to describe the joy I felt seeing so many people there – 50,000, we were told. For most, this was not a single day of action. They were living this resistance daily: patrolling neighborhoods to warn of federal agents, distributing food to those unable to leave their homes, and caring for one another. Clergy tended their people, preaching the gospel in both word and deed. I was surrounded by prophets – exhausted, unwavering, and deeply inspiring. When I could no longer feel my feet with a quarter mile left to go, their courage carried me forward. People passed out hand warmers and tissues. Two marchers ahead of me wore backpacks reading, “If you are hungry, tap my shoulder,” and “If you need hand warmers, tap my shoulder.” Even in anger and pain, Minnesotans chose to meet hate and violence with compassion, grace, and love.  At the rally, which thankfully had been moved inside, faith leaders proclaimed that God's love is greater than any hate this government can unleash. And, indigenous leaders reminded us that no one is illegal on stolen land. Walking back through deserted streets, I passed the statue of Mary Tyler Moore tossing her hat into the air in an iconic moment of liberation. It is from a TV show that some of a certain age remember well.  The theme song's title came to my mind: “Love Is All Around,” and I thought – it sure was that day. I went back to my hotel believing, as the song says, that we're “gonna make it after all.” I flew out the next morning, later learning that as I traveled above the city, below Alex Pretti was being beaten and killed by Federal agents. Does that mean it was all for nothing? Not at all. It means the struggle continues, and those of us who are able must keep answering the call of Christ – to be the light that enlightens the nations – our nation – even to the cross. To bring the knowledge of the gospel to those who need it most.  The ones who govern – that they may turn from their evil acts against our neighbors, and live the law of God – to love one another, and to care for the least of these.  And the ones being oppressed – that they may know that they are loved, and they are not alone or forgotten – not by God, and not by any of us. That is our faith and it will change the world, but it will not be easy, and it will pierce our own hearts too.  It was reported yesterday that an ICE agent told a protestor “If you raise your voice, I will erase your voice.”  I kid you not.  But let me be perfectly clear – they can try to erase our voice – but we will only grow louder, because no ICE agent, or anyone else, can ever erase the voice of Jesus.  Lord knows, and he does, the Romans tried that long ago in the most brutal way.  It didn't work then, and it won't work now. Christ showed the world that God's love is stronger than human hate, and Christ's light will always overcome the darkest of humanity in the end.  So, in the days ahead, we will with our voices and our actions show the world that God's love is all around, and I promise you, that if we do that – we will make it after all. Amen.

Diana L. Wilcox Christ Church in Bloomfield & Glen Ridge February 1, 2026 Feast of the Presentation (trans.) 1st Reading – Malachi 3:1-4 Psalm 84 2nd Reading – Hebrews 2:14-18 Gospel – Luke 2:22-40  

1. Christmas and Its Religious Significance The discussion begins with warm holiday greetings and reflections on the meaning of Christmas. Emphasis is placed on celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, highlighting its spiritual importance over commercial aspects like gifts and Santa Claus. Ben and the Senator share personal traditions, such as reading Luke Chapter 2 during Christmas dinner, and discuss cultural practices (e.g., Cuban Christmas Eve celebrations with roasted pig vs. vegetarian meals). There’s commentary on a resurgence of faith among younger generations, citing record-breaking Bible sales in 2025. 2. Economic Outlook and Media Bias The conversation shifts to positive economic news: U.S. GDP growth of 4.3% in Q3, the strongest in two years. They argue this growth contradicts negative media predictions and accuse mainstream outlets of political bias. Key points include: Strong consumer spending during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Positive impacts of trade policy, tax cuts, and deregulation under President Trump. Criticism of media framing economic success negatively compared to previous administrations. 3. Welfare Fraud and Systemic Issues Historic fraud in Minnesota’s Medicaid and welfare programs, estimated at $9 billion, and allegations that funds were diverted to terrorist organizations like Al Shabab. Predicting similar fraud in other Democratic-led states (California, New York, Illinois). Wall Street Journal op-ed by Phil Gramm and John Early is mentioned about structural flaws in the U.S. welfare system: Welfare spending has surged 765% over 50 years, now costing $1.4 trillion annually. Many benefits are not counted as income, creating misleading poverty statistics and perpetuating dependency. The argument advocates for welfare reform to encourage work and reduce generational poverty. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Well, hey—Merry Christmas Eve to you as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We'd like to share the Christmas story from Luke Chapter 2, verses 4–20. And just a note, we've made some minor edits for length purposes in this excerpt from the King James version of the story. “Joseph went up from Galilee out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, to be taxed, along with his wife Mary, who was great with child. While they were there, the days were accomplished that she could be delivered, and she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. There were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone around them and they were afraid. And the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people for unto you is born this day in the city of David a savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: You'll find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God and the highest and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men.' As the angels returned into heaven, the shepherd said to one another, ‘Let us go into Bethlehem and see this thing, which the Lord has made known to us.' They came with haste and found Mary, Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they shared the news with everyone they met, and all who heard it wondered at the things that the shepherd told them. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart, and the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen as it was told unto them.” God bless you and yours this Christmas. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Welcome to the Christmas week edition of Keep the Heart. This reading of Luke chapter two is a long-held tradition in many homes, and it is a wonderful way to place the focus on the Christ of Christmas.  The birth of Jesus marked the birth of our Saviour. He came into this world as the Sinless One on a mission, and because He died, we have the gift of eternal life. Do your children know that the tradition of gift-giving is related to the greatest gift ever given? Christmas is not celebrating us. It's honoring Christ. We could say that Jesus is the most ignored Birthday Guest of Honor ever to walk this earth! Let's overrule the commercial focus on getting and turn the focus on being sacrificial givers, just like Jesus. After Christmas when so many things go on sale, this would be a great time to purchase items to donate to local food banks, clothing closets, homeless shelters, and other charitable organizations. Include gospel tracts with the donations. You never know who may read that tract and receive the ultimate gift of salvation. Here's a great closing verse reminding us why Jesus came to this earth. It's in Luke 19:10, which says this: "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Christmas blessings to you and your loved ones.
