ST. PAUL. LUTHERAN

| Last Sunday, the first Sunday
in Lent, Pastor c. c. Sunwall in.
troduced his sermon by quoting
four scripture verses which en-
phasized the Joy Of the Christian
| Christianity is a happy religion.
because God is our Lord. Jesus
gave His life in order that we
might be saved. According to the
text for the day, which was from
the gospel of Luke 10:17-20
Jesus sent seventy disciples out 10
witness. They had great expert
ences and results and came back
rejoicing.
Pastor Sunwall emphasized five
points in his sermon:
1. Call-The call is clear. We,
and sent out. The call to witness
is to all Christians. Jesus gave
the commission to us to go out
and make disciples of all nations.
We need not apologize for doing
this because the command comes
from one who has all authority,
even Jesus Christ.
2 The Power-Jesus said, "Ye
shall receive power when the
Holy Spirit is come upon you and
We shall be my witnesses when
we go out is this power we are
thrilled and surprised at the re-
suits.
3. The Task We are to heal
the sick, help the infirm and those
in need and witness of the King
dom of God.
L. The Results - The disciples
returned with joy in spite of the
problems and difficulties. They re-
ported the results with Joy. SO we,
when we go out in Evangelism
Visitation and ring door bells and
invite people to come to church
to hear the Word, are often times
surprised at the results. There is
joy in heaven also over one soul
that repenteth.
5. The Joy-Toward the end of
the text Jesus said to the disciples
that the results should not be
their chief Joy but that they
should rather rejoice because their
names are written in heaven.
There can be no true satisfaction
and peace unless our names are
written in heaven. When we con-
fess our ms the pardon which
Jesus bestows upon us is complete
He closed his sermon by quoting
Romans AT, Blessed is he whose
iniquities are forgiven and whose
sins are covered"
Pastor Sunwall announced that
the Lenten MeditAtions on Wed
nesday evening at s p. m. will be
on the topic, Beneath the Cross
of Jesus-we see our Saviour. -
