This sermon says that both pastors and church members carry many troubles, but Jesus speaks directly to those fears in John 14: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” The main message is that Christians need not be overwhelmed, because Jesus has risen, prepared a place for them in the Father’s house, and is himself “the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” Even when life brings loss, guilt, conflict, sickness, or uncertainty, believers can find peace in Christ’s death and resurrection, in the promise of heaven, and in their Baptism, where God claimed them as his own. The sermon concludes that because Jesus is alive, there is ultimately nothing to fear.
