Simply the Sermon for May 18, 2025: Fifth Sunday of Easter

Our readings for Sunday, May 18 are: Acts 11:1-18, Revelation 21:1-6, and John 13:31-35.  

The resurrection of Christ at Easter initiates a new day. It anticipates a new heaven and a new earth. The risen Christ is making all things new. In the mystery of holy baptism God has even made new people of us. Today Jesus invites us to see everyone in a new light—through the lens of love, leading us outside of our doors and into the community. Who are we that we could hinder God? Might as well follow him into the world.
