This week centers on the crisis of sin, embracing the power of Jesus’ resurrection, and living in fellowship with God. We must openly confront the reality of human darkness and separation from God, and allow God’s light to expose our sin. There is a solution to this crisis: Jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection, which cleanse us from sin and restore our relationship with God. The resurrection is not only historical truth but a transformative power that grants forgiveness, eternal life, and a new identity rooted in Christ. We can “come alive” to this resurrection power and live in confident fellowship with God and others.

Maybe you have thought of “religion” as trying hard to live up to the Bible’s teachings, and it has left you stuck and frustrated. You wish you were a better person. But you still lose control and make mistakes you're ashamed of. That’s why Trinity Sunday matters so much. The Father did not abandon this broken world. The Son stepped into it, living the life we should have lived and dying the death we should have died. And the Holy Spirit works through that good news to create faith and renew weary hearts. The one true God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, has done everything necessary to make us his own. So let’s worship him! Not to get on his good side. But because through Jesus our king, we already are.

Life is a race. We have to run it. And like any race, it has its difficulties and agonizing moments. How do we get through them? In a race, you keep your eyes on the finish line. In the race of life, we keep our eyes on Jesus. The sufferings God allows along the way will make us stronger. Our Heavenly Father wants what is best for us, and wants us to finish the race even more than we do! And we do not run alone. On Pentecost, we celebrate that Jesus poured out his Holy Spirit on his Church. The Spirit creates faith, strengthens weary hearts, and keeps our eyes fixed on Christ through Word and Sacrament. Jesus is the way! Jesus is our finish line! He finished everything for us by running his race to the cross for us. He made it possible for us to experience that joy with Him! Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus!
