Sunday’s Divine Service–The Lord Extends
His Mercy To All
The ten lepers cried out from a distance, “Jesus,
Master, have mercy on us!” (Luke 17:11–19). Their condition cut them off from
God and others. So also do the works of
the flesh cut us off from God and others. “Those who practice such things will
not inherit the kingdom of God” (Galatians 5:16–24). Thus we cry out with the
lepers, “Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy,” eagerly seeking
His good gifts. Jesus said to the lepers, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”
And as they went, they were cleansed. So too, we walk by faith and not by
sight, being confident of Jesus’ help before we see any evidence of it,
trusting that Jesus’ cleansing words of forgiveness will restore us to
wholeness in the resurrection. Let us be as the one leper who returned to the
true High Priest to give Him thanks and glory. For Jesus bore our infirmities
in His sacrifice at Calvary. His words are life to those who find them, and
health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:10–23).— Lutheran Service Book Project

Collect: Keep, we implore You, O Lord,
Your Church with Your perpetual mercy; and because the frailty of mankind
without You cannot but fall, keep us ever by Your help from all things hurtful
and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation; through Jesus Christ,
Your Son, our Lord . Amen.
