Can a Person Really Forgive Your Sins? | Christ For YouJohn 20:19–31 | Easter 2Can a man really forgive sins? Can a pastor really say, “I forgive you all your sins”? Isn't that something only God can do? If Jesus won forgiveness on the cross nearly two thousand years ago, then how does that forgiveness get here to you now? And if it comes through the Word, why does that Word come through the mouth of a man?In this Easter 2 sermon, Pastor Rojas begins with Christ's full satisfaction for all sin and then asks the question every Christian must answer: how do you get that forgiveness? If you cannot go back to Golgotha, and if merely standing at the cross would not have saved even those who were there, then how does the forgiveness Jesus won there get delivered here, to you, now? This sermon shows that God does not tell sinners to go find forgiveness. He brings forgiveness to them through His Word.But if forgiveness comes through the Word, then how do you hear that Word? Through a voice, a mouth, a man. And that is where many object. This sermon answers the common offense people take at absolution and shows from Scripture that Christians really do forgive one another, and that Christ has also instituted a public office in which pastors forgive sins in His stead and by His command. Above all, John 20 shows that Jesus is not merely giving information about forgiveness. He breathes the Holy Spirit on His apostles and says, “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them.” In other words, these words do not merely talk about forgiveness. They give it.This sermon shows why absolution is not arrogance, not Romanism, and not empty ceremony, but the living voice of the risen Christ for terrified sinners. If you have ever wondered how the forgiveness Christ won on the cross gets to you now, why a pastor can say, “I forgive you all your sins,” or why this matters so deeply for the guilty, the burdened, and the dying, this sermon is for you.Subscribe & Share:Spotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgLooking for a Lutheran Church near you?Support the preaching of God's Word.

Sermon - John 20:19-31 - Hard to Believe by Community Lutheran Church

Please know the audio level changes from readings [louder] to sermon [softer]

We all have a body, and whether we realize it or not, it shapes how we feel, how we trust, and what we believe. That's part of what makes the story of Jesus' death and resurrection so powerful, not just as an idea, but as something embodied, something with weight. This week in Miracles Everywhere, we'll explore how God meets us, through flesh and blood, not in spite of it—and how that changes the way we see, believe, and live.

John 20_19-29—Leaning In by Lettered Streets Covenant

In this Easter season reflection from John 20:19–31, the risen Jesus appears to his disciples—not by erasing suffering, but by revealing it. Even in resurrection, the wounds remain. This sermon explores how Christ is recognized through his scars, and what that means for us. Rather than hiding pain, the gospel invites us to see how love, loss, and sacrifice are taken up and transformed. From Thomas' doubt to the call to live as people marked by love, this message considers how resurrection reshapes our past, present, and future. The risen Christ still speaks peace—and still sends us into the world bearing that same costly, redemptive love.

Mary's resurrection story shows Jesus' resurrection as the dawn of new creation, reversing the curse of the fall as she is commissioned to proclaim the good news.

In Peter's first epistle, he begins with exuberant praise of God the Father because he has caused us to be born again in Jesus Christ. This is baptismal language and out of that we have a foundation for all the gifts that are ours in Jesus. This foundation can enable us to endure testings and trials because we know that we belong to God the Father and can now receive these trials as ways to encourage our faith and confidence in the work of Jesus.Image: File:Saint_Peter-Sinai_(6th_Century).jpg, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Send Shirah Chante a TextHow to Spot a False Prophet (Biblical Discernment) + “False Prophet” Song StoryThe host Shirah Chante shares a new song chorus, “False Prophet,” inspired by a tense exchange with a longtime friend who accused them of being a false prophet after they delivered a message they believed God gave them. Using scripture, they discuss how to discern false prophets and avoid deception, reading from Matthew 24 and Matthew 7 about many coming in Jesus' name and being known by their fruits. They also reference 1 John on testing spirits, confessing Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, keeping commandments, and the necessity of loving others, stating that hatred contradicts loving God. Additional guidance includes the Old Testament idea that true prophecy comes to pass and the practical advice to ask God directly for confirmation.

Easter Service (4/5/26) // John 20:11-18 (ESV) // Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene // 11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic,[a] “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.

April 6, 2026 | Daniel Harris teaches from John 20 about the significance of the empty tomb and the linen cloths that Jesus left behind.

 We walk through John 20:1-18 in our series Face to Face with Jesus, a two-week Easter Series.

Experience the powerful message of Easter as Pastor Sean walks through John 20:1–18, revealing the life-changing truth of the empty tomb. This sermon invites you to see the resurrection not just as a moment in history, but as a personal encounter with hope, restoration, and new life. Whether you're celebrating Easter or searching for meaning, this message will challenge and encourage your faith.

On the Sunday morning after Jesus' crucifixion, the tomb stood empty and victory over death had been won. But while heaven was celebrating, Simon Peter was carrying shame. He had denied Jesus. He had failed. In his own eyes, he was disqualified. Yet Jesus wasn't finished with Peter. Maybe you know that feeling—like your past defines you, like your mistakes disqualify you, like you've gone too far or don't know enough to belong. Whether it's sin, regret, doubt, or even the fact that you've never opened a Bible before, this message is for you. Jesus is not finished with you. The cross proves He died for your sin. The resurrection proves it worked. And today, Jesus asks you the same question He asked Peter: “Do you love me?”

So That You May Believe // John 20:1-31 by Tri-State Community Church

Behind locked doors in John 20, fearful disciples cling only to the word of Mary Magdalene—until Jesus himself stands among them and speaks, “Peace be with you,” a Word that does what it says. In this episode, we trace how that same living Word delivers the Holy Spirit, creates faith, and entrusts the Church with the authority to forgive sins—the very heart of the Gospel. And with Thomas the Apostle, we move from hardened unbelief to confession, discovering that faith isn't managed doubt but trust created by Christ's promise: “My Lord and my God.”CARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionGOSPEL John 20:19-31 19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." 24 But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe." 26 A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe." 28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" 29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe." 30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. 31 But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name. Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

John 20:11-18 by CBCNashville

In this Easter Sunday meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with John 20:11–18 and the first resurrection encounter: “I have seen the Lord.” Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ—the day death was defeated and hope was restored. John’s Gospel brings us into a tender and personal moment. Mary Magdalene stands outside the empty tomb weeping. The stone has been rolled away. The body is gone. The disciples have already left, confused and uncertain. Mary stays. She sees angels. She sees Jesus. But at first, she does not recognize Him. Then He speaks her name: “Mary.” And everything changes. In that single word, grief turns to recognition. Despair gives way to joy. The impossible becomes reality. In this guided Scripture meditation, you are invited to step into the garden with Mary. Through slow readings of John 20:11–18, you will be guided to reflect on the meaning of the resurrection, celebrate the hope we have in Christ, and consider how this life-changing truth invites you to move forward. The resurrection is not only an event to remember. It is a reality to live in. Because Jesus is risen:We are restored.We are made new.We are invited into abundant life. He is risen—and that changes everything. Download your FREE companion journal for I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus.

It was Jesus, but she didn’t recognize him. 15 “Dear woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who are you looking for?” She thought he was the gardener. “Sir,” she said, “if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.” 16 “Mary!” Jesus said. She turned to him and cried out, “Rabboni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”). 17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene found the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord!” Then she gave them his message.

Easter didn't begin with celebration—it began with confusion, grief, and people trying to make sense of the unexpected. In John 20, we see that the resurrection isn't just something to believe about Jesus, but an invitation into a new kind of life—one that only comes through surrender, where death gives way to real life. If Jesus is alive, then the question isn't just, "did it happen?" It becomes whether we're willing to step into the life it makes possible.Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show
