You will be\n sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.''\n (ESV)\n\n The disciples were confused. They were walking with Jesus\n to the Garden of Gethsemane after the dinner where Jesus\n instituted the Lord's Supper. Although Jesus had done and said\n many things that evening, His words about leaving and returning\n were the most perplexing.\n\n Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to\n them, ``Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I\n meant by saying, `A little while and you will not see\n me, and again a little while and you will see me?'\n Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament,\n but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but\n your sorrow will turn into joy.''\n\n\n All of the things Jesus taught, all His prophecies, were\n revealed to be true. Within a few minutes, Jesus was arrested\n and taken before the High Priest, Pilate, Herod, and back to\n Pilate. He bore the wood of the cross for His execution. His\n followers gave Him a hasty burial, one they intended to complete\n in a little while, after the Sabbath day.\n\n The disciples wept and lamented because Jesus was dead. The\n chief priests and rulers of the Temple rejoiced for the same\n reason. Pilate was relieved because he had avoided another nasty\n confrontation with the Jewish leaders.\n\n This changed on the third day. Although the realization\n took a while, the truth of the resurrection and the promised\n coming of the Holy Spirit brought joy to the disciples.\n\n May the presence of Christ Jesus, who comes to us today in\n Word and sacrament, bring you the joy of knowing your sins are\n forgiven for His sake. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 13, 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-3300","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\/3300","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=3300"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3301,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3300\/revisions\/3301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
