You, the Sacraments, and John

In our mid-week Bible study on Wednesdays (starts September 10 @ 10:30), and then again for a couple of evenings sometime later this Fall, I would like to re-introduce you to Jesus and the Sacraments in the Gospel of John. What? There are no “words of institution” in John, you say? “And Baptism is only discussed one time in John 3 right?” That’s true but Lutherans have been a bit sideways on this topic for a long time (reasons we’ll discuss) even though the words and works of Jesus supply significant testimony to both.
On Wednesdays, we will take another look at John to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest key words, phrases and whole sections to see how and why, after the Resurrection, the words of Jesus play a very significant tile in bringing he prescience and forgiveness of Jesus to you and the Church in Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. +Pastor
