A Christian Burial.
A Playful Dog
A man approaches a pastor and says,”Pastor, my dog is dead. Could there be a service for the poor creature?”
Pastor replied, “No, we cannot have
service for an animal in the church. But there is a new church down the road. Maybe…they will do something for the animal”.
The man answered “Pastor, but do you think they will accept a donation of a million shillings in return for the burial service?
Pastor exclaimed, “Sweet Jesus! Why didn’t you tell me the dog was a Christian?
Amen, Pastor!Another wurfendol insight from Luther defines our being Christian in terms of the present-tense nature of Baptism; not only that it daily and richly forgives my sins, but that my Baptism is an ever present Word from God to me ; it speaks to me continually, saying, You are in Christ and are therefore God’s son, with whom He is well-pleased. Or, as we have taught Grace Ann to sing, Jesus loves me, this I know, for my Baptism tells me so. Thanks for all your posts to this blog.Carl
