Has a friend ever asked, “Why do you go to church?” While there are many good answers
to that question, we are reminded today of the primary reason we gather in a place like
this, for a service like this, on a day like this. The author to the Hebrews reminds us: “For
we share in Christ” (Hebrews 3:14). Going to church isn’t primarily something we do;
church is, first and foremost, something God does for us. Through His Son, Jesus Christ,
who is present with us through His Word and Sacrament this day, we are privileged to
share in the blessings of the blood-bought forgiveness and Easter-sealed life our Father
gives to us. So, the next time someone asks you why you attend church, let them know
about the Savior you encounter and get to know every time you gather in a place like this,
for a service like this, on a day like this. We have come to share in Christ! Listen-In or Watch below:
