DEVOTIONAL
Daily Lectionary: Zechariah 9:1-17; 2 Timothy 2:1-26
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. What does this mean? …He defends me against all danger and guards and protects me from all evil. All this He does only out of fatherly, divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in me. For all this it is my duty to thank and praise, serve and obey Him. This is most certainly true. (The Small Catechism: The Creed, First Article, Part 3)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. A dog looks to its master, eagerly expecting its food. A child looks to his mother to comfort him from imagined monsters. As Christ’s people, we look to our heavenly Father, expecting Him to take care of whatever might hurt us. Evil things frighten us because we take our eyes off the Lord and we forget He will save us.
When the Father sends Jesus to save us from our sins, the image of Jesus on the cross is forever given to us as one of comfort. Whenever you see a cross or crucifix, whenever you make the sign of the cross, whenever you see a picture or painting of Jesus on Calvary, and whenever that crucified Jesus is preached to you, then remember: Your heavenly Father delivers you from all evil.
What the creed is teaching us here is that there is nothing that can truly harm you. Yes, you can get sick. You might suffer pain or some other hurt. You will even die. But none of those things is an evil that can harm or destroy you. That’s because all that is ever truly evil has landed on Jesus on Calvary and His empty tomb of Easter is the proof that there is nothing that can keep the Son of God down. Therefore, there is nothing that can keep you down, now that you have been baptized into Christ.
Your heavenly Father truly does protect and deliver you from all that is evil. There is nothing that can snatch you from His hand because you are there in Jesus. There is no evil that has not been defeated, no matter how awful, by the death and resurrection of Jesus and therefore by your Baptism and His Word and Body and Blood. This really does call forth our thanks and praise! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
“Yes, Father, yes, most willingly I’ll bear what You command Me. My will conforms to Your decree, I’ll do what You have asked Me.” O wondrous Love, what have You done! The Father offers up His Son, Desiring our salvation. O Love, how strong You are to save! You lay the One into the grave Who built the earth’s foundation. (A Lamb Goes Uncomplaining Forth, LSB 438:3)
