In spite of all we have heard and all we have seen, it is often hard to believe. Because it is hard to believe, we will invest ourselves in the Easter mystery for fifty days (a week of weeks). Because it is hard to believe, John the evangelist will provide sign after sign celebrating Jesus’ victory over death. Because it is hard to believe, the risen Jesus will return to us again and again in the mystery of holy communion, inviting us to touch and taste his presence, and offering us his peace. Our service will be live streamed from Atonement Lutheran Church starting at 10:45 AM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

A pesar de todo lo que hemos oído y visto, a menudo cuesta creerlo. Por ello, nos sumergiremos en el misterio pascual durante cincuenta días (una semana de semanas). Por ello, Juan el evangelista nos dará señales tras señales celebrando la victoria de Jesús sobre la muerte. Por ello, Jesús resucitado volverá a nosotros una y otra vez en el misterio de la santa comunión, invitándonos a tocar y saborear su presencia, y ofreciéndonos su paz. Únase a nosotros para nuestro culto que comienza a las 12:00 p. m. en la Iglesia Luterana Atonement (1980 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN 55112). ¡Todos son bienvenidos!
The disciples make a big splash and eat breakfast with the risen Jesus. Wading in the water (remembering baptism) and eating with Jesus (celebrating holy communion) is our weekly encounter with the risen Christ. Jesus asks us again and again: Do you love me? And Jesus invites us, again and again, to follow him, bringing the Easter life to others. Our service will be live-streamed from Cross of Glory Lutheran Church starting at 8:30 AM.

Los discípulos se dan un chapuzón y desayunan con Jesús resucitado. Meterse en el agua (recordando el bautismo) y comer con Jesús (celebrando la santa comunión) es nuestro encuentro semanal con Cristo resucitado. Jesús nos pregunta una y otra vez: "¿Me amas?". Y Jesús nos invita, una y otra vez, a seguirlo, llevando la vida pascual a los demás.

The gift of new life, of eternal life, is the gift of the risen Christ. It is the promise of Jesus. It was true for Dorcas in Joppa. It was true for those “who have come out of the great ordeal” in the Revelation vision. It is true for us and for all the baptized: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

El don de la vida nueva, de la vida eterna, es el don de Cristo resucitado. Es la promesa de Jesús. Fue cierto para Dorcas en Jope. Fue cierto para quienes «han salido de la gran prueba» en la visión del Apocalipsis. Es cierto para nosotros y para todos los bautizados: Ciertamente el bien y la misericordia me seguirán todos los días de mi vida, y moraré en la casa del Señor por siempre.
