    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 Hour Ministries Daily Devotions.
