STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Mark 4:34
“He did not speak to them without a parable, but
privately to his own disciples he explained everything.” How blessed we are to be His disciples! The Lord has indeed explained everything to
us. He has told us all things
plainly. Why then are we ever so foolish
as to disobey His clear Word? Our fight
against sin in the power of the Holy Spirit is truly a struggle. Therefore, let us receive the Lord’s help in
His Word and Sacraments – and let us fight the good fight of faith and grow up
into His image.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
