(ESV)\n\n Confessional Lutherans speak of the ``theology of glory''\n versus the ``theology of the cross.'' The theology of glory\n expects to see the victory of God, the faithful blessed with\n great riches, and the Christian land overflowing with milk and\n honey. The theology of the cross says that the glory of Christ\n Jesus is seen in His suffering, death, and resurrection.\n Christians will be persecuted in this world because of their\n beliefs.\n\n Isaiah wrote, ``The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD,\n and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of\n Israel.''\n\n Jesus, the King of Creation, was born in a humble barn. He\n said, ``Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the\n earth.''[1] It was the humble tax collector who prayed, ``God, be\n merciful to me, the sinner,''[2] who returned home justified,\n forgiven, with the hope of salvation.\n\n Each Sunday we confess our sins before God, acknowledging\n that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We confess that we\n have not done that which should be done towards God and neighbor,\n while actively doing that which denies God and harms those around\n us. Yet, because of God's love and mercy, He pronounces that we\n are forgiven for sake of Jesus Christ. We therefore have the joy\n of His salvation and praise Him for His goodness.\n\n May our Lord keep our eyes on the cross of Christ Jesus, who\n has purchased and won us from sin and death by His holy precious\n blood and innocent suffering and death. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1. Matthew 5:5\n\n 2. Luke 18:13<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
