Saturday of Easter Week – Revelation 7:9-17

Last updated on: April 10, 2015 at 5:54 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Revelation 7:9-17 Who our heroes are tell us a lot about ourselves.  The heroes of a culture are the people we look up to, the people who inspire us.  They are the people we want to be like and try to imitate.  Judging from money and attention paid to people in our culture, and judging from commercials and magazine covers, our heroes are pop stars from the entertainment world of music and movies, and athletes.  I know that I want... Read more

Friday of Easter Week – Revelation 1:4-18

Last updated on: April 9, 2015 at 4:54 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Revelation 1:4-18 Who is Jesus Christ? There are many ways in which He has revealed Himself to us, and all of these are important.  Sometimes I think the dominant way contemporary Christians see Jesus is as a good friend.  He’s kinda just one of the guys, though definitely the leader of the pack.  We can almost picture Him in blue jeans, and we’re sure He would never be caught dead wearing vestments!  At other times, particularly in contemporary praise choruses,... Read more

Last updated on: April 8, 2015 at 11:38 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Philippians 3:7-16 Shhhh!  Do you hear it? Do you hear what I hear? Jesus Christ is calling you. He has called you to know the fellowship of His sufferings on Good Friday. He has called you to be conformed to His death on Good Friday as well. And He has called you to know Him and the power of His Resurrection on Easter Sunday. And yet, having called you, He calls you still.  He calls you at the beginning of... Read more

Wednesday of Easter Week – 1 Timothy 6:11-19

Last updated on: April 7, 2015 at 10:40 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Timothy 6:11-19 The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which means our resurrection as well, has implications for this life, as well as the life to come.  Our response to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ should be one of unmitigated, ecstatic joy!  It should provoke from us the greatest celebration we are capable of hosting in this life. And yet it’s also quite sobering because the terrible price for Easter is Good Friday and before Jesus was resurrected for us, He... Read more

Easter Tuesday – 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 4:52 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 On Easter we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  It is the happiest, most joyful, most glorious day of the year to the Christian!  For our Lord, who was dead, was raised to life again. Not only is the Resurrection at the center of Christian theology, it is at the center of Paul’s.  I’m sure he couldn’t wait for another opportunity to talk about it to the Thessalonians, who apparently did not understand its full... Read more

Last updated on: July 26, 2017 at 5:33 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

John 19:1-37 Though the Morning Prayer lesson for this morning is John 18, I’ve chosen to meditate on John 19 instead, which is the Proper lesson for the Good Friday service. “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing?’ The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, ‘Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us’” (Psalm 2:1-3.)... Read more

Maundy Thursday – John 13:18-34

Last updated on: April 1, 2015 at 7:30 pm   By Fr. Charles Erlandson

John 13:18-34 Jesus says to you today: “A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”  “Maundy Thursday” comes from the Latin words mandatum novum, or “new commandment,” taken from this verse (John 13:34.) Now why is love a new commandment?  The commandments to love God and love your neighbor as yourself come from the Old Testament.  But they are hidden away among 612 other commandments. ... Read more
