Rev. Daniel E. Pilarczyk

We should ask the Lord to bless those who care for the administrative needs of the Church. Their ministry is an essential part of the Church’s life.

Jesus is not asking for passivity from the Sanhedrin. He wants acceptance. He wants to be recognized as Messiah. He wants full commitment from us too.

If Jesus is Lord he has the right to demand whatever he sees fit from friends or enemies. Does Jesus make demands on me?

Today’s psalm is particularly relevant during the Easter season when we celebrate Christ’s triumph over death. How do I experience the power and majesty of God?

We Christian believers are called to proclaim the truth of the Lord Jesus to our world. So it is appropriate for us to ask God to enable us to speak his word with boldness and courage.

The Jewish leaders tell the apostles to keep quiet about Jesus. This of course is precisely what the apostles cannot do. To obey the Jewish officials would be to disobey God.

After God has validated Jesus’ ministry by raising him from the dead, ignorance is no excuse. God expects us to respond to the resurrection.
