Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

This week, we meet our King — the only one who is worthy to open the scroll, to act on God’s behalf! Jesus is celebrated as the “Lamb of God.” This looks back to the Passover and to the suffering servant in Isaiah 53, especially verse 7 (and see John 1:29 and I Corinthians 5:7). Our Messiah (King) lived for us, died for us, and rose from the dead for us. Only he is worthy to open the scroll unleashing God’s judgment and mercy!
