Why So Serious

Psalm 150; Revelation 1: 4-8; John 20: 19-31
​On a Wednesday night about a month ago, I came up into my office after Lenten services and discovered, left on my desk, three books. The titles suggested someone thought I needed a little help with my joke telling. One was Church Chuckles, one was Rolling in the Church Aisles and the last was Laugh and the Whole Church Laughs With You. I wonder if that last one is true, else why give me these new joke books?
Today is our Holy Humor Sunday. We all know it is being downsized due to our main actors and actresses moving away. So it has been left up to me, with some help from some of you, to help us celebrate the Easter Laugh this year.

Opened on Sunday

When Julie and I were in Israel, we visited many sites dealing with the life of Jesus. We were especially touched by the sites Jesus was a part of during Holy Week. One such site was the Garden Tomb; a spot that was very similar to the actual burial place of Jesus. As we entered that garden tomb, a sign caught our attention, the sign on your bulletin cover: “Closed on Sunday”. That struck me as rather ironic. Every Sunday is a celebration of the resurrection, but every Sunday the representation of the burial spot was closed. We celebrate today the in fact that on first Easter morning, not only was the garden open, but the tomb of Jesus was opened and he was risen! Christ is risen!

Isaiah 43:16-21; Philippians 3:4b-14; John 12: 1-8
April 7, 2019


Let's begin with a little review of the family of Lazarus. As John pointed out, Lazarus is the one Jesus raised from the dead. But that is not the only time we meet this family of Lazarus and his two sisters. Another familiar story about them is the one where Jesus and the disciples come to their house and Martha serves the supper while Mary sits at the feet of Jesus. Martha, as you recall, became upset with her sister and Jesus reminded Martha that Mary had chosen the better part; to be with Jesus.
