Those who refuse to see the Old Covenant fulfilled by the New are like old fabric. For if you repair an old cloth with a new patch, the new patch will shrink but the old cloth won’t – and the whole cloth will tear. -Rev. Larry Beane #Lutheran #LCMS revlarrybeane.substack.com

All three incidents in today’s reading involve Jesus acting in ways that are not only surprising, but even shocking. The people are shocked because those of every walk of life... are worshiping a false god. -Rev. Larry Beane #Lutheran #LCMS revlarrybeane.substack.com/p/todays-dev...
