Trinity 13. The Good Samaritan and the Eternal Comfort of Christ

Grace, mercy, and peace be yours from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Today, we gather to remember and give thanks for the life of our dear sister in Christ, Connie. While we confront the sobering reality of death, we do so with the hope and promise of the resurrection, secured for us by Christ.

In this episode, we delve into the parable of the Good Samaritan from the Gospel of Luke, revealing the depth of Jesus' mercy and love. The parable illustrates how Christ, our Good Samaritan, stoops down to save us in our brokenness and sin, just as He did for Connie.

We explore how Christ's love transcends human boundaries, offering us healing, forgiveness, and the assurance of eternal life. Through His word and sacraments, He provides ongoing care and comfort, both in life and in death.

As we remember Connie, we are reminded of the steadfast and immovable love of Christ, who promises a resurrection to all His saints. Join us as we find comfort in the knowledge that Christ's love and mercy extend to us all, now and forever. Amen.
