Life Together Digest: How Does Baptism Justify?
Life Together Digest: How Does Baptism Justify?

In this Life Together Digest, the Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, connects Christ’s glorious resurrection to your Baptism. “Through the resurrection, Baptism justifies,” says Harrison, emphasizing that “[Jesus’] resurrection is the promise of eternal life for you.” Indeed, we confess that “we were buried therefore with Him by Baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4).

Conmunion-Statement.jpg
Zion’s Communion Statement

Communion Statement 
We believe that in the Lord’s Supper, Christ’s physical body and blood are present in the bread and wine (1 Cor. 11:23-25). We also believe receiving the Lord’s Supper is an act of church fellowship. Scripture cautions that those who receive without recognizing Christ’s body and blood will bring judgment upon themselves (1 Cor. 11:27-29). Therefore, out of love to our guests, we invite to our altar to receive the Lord’s Supper those who are baptized, confirmed, repentant members of Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod congregations or sister congregations. If you are visiting us today from another Christian denomination, we welcome you to come to the altar to receive a baptismal blessing. Please signify by crossing your arms over your chest upon kneeling.

Pastors-Corner.jpg
Pastor’s Corner

Pastor’s Corner
Sometimes, I am struck by something I hear in church. We hear fascinating things in our readings, our liturgy, but especially in our hymns. The stanza from the above hymn caused me to pause a few Sundays ago. The words gave a striking image that I don’t know if I’ve thought about before: “. . . and the grave that shuts us in, shall but prove the gate to heaven.” 

We’ve all been to funerals. If there is a viewing, our loved ones will be laid to rest in a casket. They will usually wear their Sunday best. The casket is lined with fabric; there is even a pillow for the head. We pay little attention to the lid. But we should. The same thing goes for a loved one who is cremated. We admire the nice case in which our loved one’s remains are resting, we pay little attention to the lid. How do we view the lid of a casket or an urn? Is it our enemy? Are we angry because that piece of metal is separating us from our loved ones? Either way, I doubt we view the lid of a casket or urn favorably. But we could. We should.
