Sunday, January 12, 2025, Baptism of Our Lord
The sad truth is that too many people cannot believe that God loves them.
Too many people believe that God only loves them if they do this, that, or the other thing, because why would God love someone without getting something in return. Love against obedience. Grace against good works. Tit for tat. Deal making, that we understand.
But God’s love is so deep and so freely given that it defies human understanding. There is no human equivalent to agape, the divine love. Divine love is such a challenging concept that it even requires its own word; agape.
The purpose of the sacrament of baptism is to ensure that you know, understand and feel the love of God in the waters of baptism. The sacrament is a gift of love. God always draws near to us, so that God’s love turns us away from sin and gives us the desire to share God’s love with the world. All people need to know that God loves them and that God’s love has no end.
Come and experience God’s love for you at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 745 Front Street S, Issaquah, this Sunday, 10 a.m. and on YouTube.
– Pr. Olaf
