In His Present Glory, the 3rd Sunday of Easter

Two men are walking down a road and all of a sudden Jesus is right there with them. He seemed to appear out of nowhere. They were not sure who had joined them on their walk as he easily became part of the conversation. It took them a while before they suddenly figured out that this was the same Jesus who had the whole of Jerusalem buzzing with the news of His Resurrection. Just when we think God is some abstract, distant idea He can surprise us. God is closer than you think. He is in His present glory.

The first and second hymn is LSB 474, “Alleluia! Jesus Is Risen”. The third and fourth hymn is LSB 483, “With High Delight Let Us Unite”. If you have a Lutheran Service Book Hymnal at home, please sing along.
