Pr. Rodriguez Preaches at St. James This Morning, Sermon for Fifth Sunday of Easter
Pastor Sergio Rodriguez, Sermon from St. James Lutheran Church on the Fifth Sunday of Easter
God’s love in us; always timely, leading, building us up. John 13.34b. 5th Easter 1
“Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another (John 13:34b).”
Grace to you and peace from God, Father, + Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed, Alleluia! I want to express my gratitude to Mr. Robert Rivera, Pastor Jairo, and you all for the gift of presiding at today’s worship. Mr. Rivera and Pastor Jairo have shown me truly the meaning of Jesus’ new commandment to love as he has loved; be it at the dinner table, phone calls, driving me around the neighbors of Houston. Above all, they have made known to me the great love that is constantly expressed through you all and the Family Life Center. This kind of love is always timely, never worn out; always persistent, not buckling under pressure; always renewing, not reneging on Christ’s command to help the least of these. He urges us, his disciples, and friends, to see that our love is not simply our own; its source is God; its fount is Christ; its streams flow down from the Spirit.
Domingo de Pascua Sermón
“Y regresaron del sepulcro, anunciaron todas estas cosas a los once apóstoles y a todos los demás (Lucas 24:9).”
¡Aleluya! ¡El Señor ha resucitado, Aleluya, ¡Aleluya! 
¡Cristo ha resucitado! ¡Amen, Aleluya!
Que alegría, gozo, y paz hay hoy en el pueblo de Dios. Cristo venció a la sepultura, ha destrozado el sentido fatal en los sepulcros de la humanidad. El aguijón de la muerte fue embotado sobre, como cita San Pedro en su epístola, “la piedra que desecharon los constructores, esa en piedra angular se ha convertido (1 Pedro 2:7).”
