Today’s gospel combines a saying that makes many of us uncomfortable with a story we find comforting. Jesus’ saying on divorce is another of his rejections of human legislation in favor of the original intent of God’s law. Jesus’ rebuke of the disciples who are fending off the children should challenge us as well. What does it mean to receive the kingdom of God as a child does? Our service will be live-streamed from Atonement Lutheran Church starting at 10:45 AM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

El evangelio de hoy combina un dicho que a muchos de nosotros nos incomoda con una historia que nos resulta reconfortante. El dicho de Jesús sobre el divorcio es otro de sus rechazos a la legislación humana en favor de la intención original de la ley de Dios. La reprimenda de Jesús a los discípulos que están rechazando a los niños también debería ser un desafío para nosotros. ¿Qué significa recibir el reino de Dios como lo recibe un niño? Únase a nosotros para nuestro culto que comienza a las 12:00 p. m. en la Iglesia Luterana Atonement (1980 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN 55112). ¡Todos son bienvenidos!
