Anticipate the Eternal Hospitality of God

Have you ever experienced excellent hospitality? Maybe it was at a resort on vacation or at a nice restaurant that you still remember fondly. Maybe you remember some not so great experiences, too, those where you could not wait to get home.


Today we get to hear about a great place to go where the hospitality is perfect. It’s better than any five diamond hotel or a restaurant that has received three MICHELIN Stars. It’s far greater than you could ever dream of or imagine because it comes from God himself. And when you go you get to stay forever. It’s not like a vacation where you eventually come home. It is your home to the point that even your loved ones who have died in the Lord are already there enjoying their time in God’s presence.


Today we celebrate what God has done for them and that one day we will join them. Until then we eagerly anticipate God’s eternal hospitality in heaven.

Without the resurrection of Jesus, I would have to choose my own direction in life. I would be terrible at it, because, like a sheep, I can generally see only what’s in front of me at the moment, and I get myself into trouble. It is especially difficult for me to look far into my future as planned by Jesus. If he had not risen from the dead, I would be on my own. But he lives, and it makes a difference. I have the reliable direction of the Good Shepherd. He feeds us with his Word. He protects us from the roaring lion, Satan. He is leading us into the green pastures of eternal life. For centuries, the Church has observed this Fourth Sunday of Easter to celebrate that Jesus lives to be our Good Shepherd.

They never forgot their past. Moses never forgot how he killed a man in a fit of anger. Paul never forgot how he had savaged the Church of God. Matthew never forgot how, as a tax collector for the Roman Empire, he was considered a traitor to his people. But God forgot their past. He forgave all their sins and called them to proclaim his mercy. Christians are sinners whom God has mercifully called. Only mercy can explain why Jesus brings people to faith and promises them salvation. Only grace can explain how he calls them to serve as they are able, even in the ministry of the gospel. God loves sinners.

Without the resurrection of Jesus, death would appear permanent. No one would have come back from the dead to explain what happens after death. Jesus told his disciples what would happen. But they were slow to believe the Easter truth. God ensured that his people had witnesses to assure that Jesus did not remain dead. He lives, and it makes a difference! I too shall live. Death has become a pathway into paradise. Jesus has already made me spiritually alive by giving me faith in his resurrection. In every possible way, Jesus takes me from death to life.
