Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A Little While - Part 3\n John 16:20\n 05\/14\/2025\n\n\n 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and\n lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be\n sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.''\n (ESV)\n\n The words Jesus spoke to the disciples the night He was\n betrayed are also given to the Church.\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 Jesus ascended into heaven forty days after Easter. The\n Church no longer physically sees Him and longs for His return.\n While we wait, the Church is at odds with the world. When the\n world and the Church agree, the Church as taken its eyes off of\n Jesus, turning to the secular god of popularity and acceptance.\n\n Only as the Church confronts the world, accuses the world of\n the selfishness of sin, does the Church truly prepare the world\n for hearing the Gospel. Only as we know that we are sinful, only\n as we weep and lament that our own wisdom and strength cannot\n reconcile us to God, are we prepared to hear the good news of\n Jesus Christ.\n\n The good news is this. Jesus died on the cross to pay the\n price of your sin and mine. Jesus rose on the third day, proving\n that His sacrifice is acceptable in the Father's sight. The\n forgiveness of sins earned by Jesus as He died and rose is given\n to you as a gift, unearned and undeserved. As you believe this,\n you have the assurance of eternal life. The faith, the trust,\n which allows you to believe that Jesus died and rose again for\n you is also a gift from God, not your own work.\n\n May our Lord turn our lament over our sin into the joy of\n His salvation. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 14, 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-3302","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\/3302","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=3302"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3302\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3303,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3302\/revisions\/3303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
