(ESV)\n\n        This week we are discussing Jesus Christ as our only hope of\n   salvation from sin and eternal death.  Many people are opposed to\n   the message that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, the\n   only pathway to our heavenly Father.  The Gospel lesson for last\n   Sunday, the account in Luke's Gospel of Jesus casting out a\n   demon, says this rejection of our Lord happened from the very\n   beginning.\n\n        Saint Luke recorded the actions of some who saw Jesus cast\n   out the demon.\n        But some of them said, ``He casts out demons by\n        Beelzebul, the prince of demons,'' while others, to\n        test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.\n\n\n        Those who rejected Jesus held Him to a different standard\n   than others who taught the Word of God.  They would rather\n   condemn Jesus as a fraud, as being in league with the prince of\n   demons, than to admit that His message of God's grace and mercy\n   is true.  We see this today, that those who are opposed to the\n   message of God's love will make up absurd stories to discredit\n   the death and resurrection of Jesus.  Others will demand that\n   even the name of Jesus not be uttered in public.\n\n        Why silence even the name of Jesus?  Those who oppose Him by\n   demanding that Christianity not be mentioned in the public sphere\n   are actually confessing that the message of truth has power.\n   They are afraid that accepting the truth that we cannot by our\n   own reason or strength redeem ourselves from the sins we commit,\n   they will have to acknowledge that our help is in the name of the\n   Lord.\n\n        May our Lord grant that we hear His Word and believe in His\n   grace and mercy for the sake of Jesus Christ.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 25, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3073"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3073\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3074,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3073\/revisions\/3074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
