Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Happy happy Easter!

This Sunday is the Fourth Sunday of Easter - it's often called Good Shepherd Sunday, because all the lectionary Bible readings lift up the image of the Lord as Shepherd.

It IS still Easter after all. The season of Easter is celebrated as the Great Fifty Days - a week of weeks plus a day. Of course the reality of Easter lasts forever. Christ is alive!
