Text: Acts 1
Hymn: 382, We Praise You, Jesus, At Your Birth
Kretzmann Commentary: Acts 1
Bonus Bumper: Time Out, Episode 120, “A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing”
I regret that Sam Mussman’s Time Out, scheduled for today, has to be postponed. After I got his accompaniment, my singing voice started sounding like garbage due to a cold. I hope to have him back in February.
Acts 1. The Ascension. At the end of the Christmas season. Hey, that’s just how we roll. Why do you stand looking to heaven? Jesus now comes where two or three are gathered in His name, in Baptism, in the Lord’s Supper, and in the Divine Service. The King of Kings now serves us, forgiving our sins, making us righteous before God, freeing us from that worry so that we can serve our neighbor.
That’s why we praise him at his birth.
