Sermons From Good Shepherd Lutheran Church In Raleigh, Nc

Gospel - John 12:1-8 We know enough to be scared, because life is crazy and hard! But we've also seen enough to know that hope is real...to know that, because Jesus is with us, anything is possible...to know that we can survive pain...to know that even death cannot keep us down. We've heard this story in our weekly Wednesday evening testimonies this Lent. We've heard stories of new life after job loss, rejection by the church, illness and addiction, depression and grief. These stories - our life stories - are full of resurrection. We've walked with Jesus for a while now, and so, on our better days, in our more centered, hopeful moments, we, like Mary, trust that, whatever life brings, we have each other. We have love and friendship and community. And that, with Jesus in the mix, nothing is impossible.
