Rev.
Dr. Michael Zeigler’s Lutheran Hour sermon on Sunday is
titled “Ticket Stubs Turned to Joy” and is based on John
16:20. It tells us that the Holy Spirit calls us to turn
from the darkness of a self-centered life and come into
the light of Jesus’ self-giving love.
Lutherans For Life quote: We are blessed because Jesus
has come to us, God most high became a human baby. We
are blessed because God kept His promise to redeem us,
even at the cost of His own suffering, death and
resurrection. And we are blessed because the Holy Spirit
has given us faith in His good promises. Lutheran
