SERMON: Sunday, September 27, 2009

WE BEHELD HIS GLORY!
The Father exalts Jesus as the messianic Lord of Glory, who gives resurrection life, who saves a remnant in Israel, and who gathers God’s elect from many nations – all this, on the basis of his own death and resurrection.

A SHEPHERD LIKE NO OTHER
Jesus speaks plainly of his special relationship with the Father, which calls us to respond with confession of his deity, increased confidence in his saving work, great assurance of his commitment to sinners, and renewed worship; for he is the Lord of Glory
