A Reading from the Book of Concord
Apology Article VIII: The Person of Christ
The Holy Scriptures forcefully testify: The human nature has been personally united
with the divine nature in Christ. It was glorified and exalted to the right hand of
God's majesty and power. After the form of a servant had been laid aside, the
human nature did receive—apart from, and over and above its natural, essential,
permanent properties—special, high, great, heavenly privileges in majesty, glory
and power. It has them not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. So
we conclude about the work of Christ's office: the human nature in Christ is equally
used. It has its power and efficacy. This is true not only from, and according to, its
natural attributes, but chiefly from, and according to, the majesty and power that
it has received through the personal union, glorification, and exaltation…
According to His received human nature through the personal union, Christ has
glorification, or exaltation. What His received human nature is capable of beyond
the natural properties, without becoming annihilated, no one can know better than
the Lord Christ Himself. He has revealed this in His Word, as much as is needful for
us to know. We must simply believe everything for which we have clear, certain
testimonies in the Scriptures in this matter. We should in no way argue against it,
as though the human nature in Christ could not be capable of the same.

Behold, how good and pleas- | ant it is*
when brothers dwell in | unity!
It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of |
Aaron,*
running down on the collar | of his robes!
It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of | Zion!*
For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life for- | evermore.
Glory be to the Father and | to the Son*
and to the Holy | Spirit;
as it was in the be- | ginning,*
is now, and will be forever. | Amen.
Behold, how good and pleas- | ant it is*
when brothers dwell in | unity!

First Reading
Acts 2:14, 36–41
14
But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, “Men of
Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my
words.
36
Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both
Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37
Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest
of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38And Peter said to them, “Repent and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins,
and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise is for you and for your
children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
40
And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying,
“Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41So those who received his word were
baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

Christ has risen | from the dead.*
[God the Father] has crowned him with glory and | honor,
He has given him dominion over the works | of his hands;*
he has put all things un- | der his feet.
Epistle
1 Peter 1:17–25
17
And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s
deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18knowing that
you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with
perishable things such as silver or gold, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, like
that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20He was foreknown before the foundation of
the world but was made manifest in the last times for your sake, 21who through him are
believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith
and hope are in God.
22
Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly
love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23since you have been born again,
not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of
God; 24for
“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
25
but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And this word is the good news that was preached to you.

This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Alleluia and Verse
Holy Gospel

Luke 24:13–35
The Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, the twenty-fourth chapter.
Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
13
That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven
miles from Jerusalem, 14and they were talking with each other about all these things
that had happened. 15While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself
drew near and went with them. 16But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17And
he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you
walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered
him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have
happened there in these days?” 19And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to
him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and
word before God and all the people, 20and how our chief priests and rulers delivered
him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21But we had hoped that he was
the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these
things happened. 22Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at
the tomb early in the morning, 23and when they did not find his body, they came back
saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24Some of
those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but
him they did not see.” 25And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26Was it not necessary that the Christ should
suffer these things and enter into his glory?” 27And beginning with Moses and all the
Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28
So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were
going farther, 29but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward
evening and the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. 30When he was
at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them.
31
And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their
sight. 32They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to
us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?” 33And they rose that same hour
P
C
and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them
gathered together, 34saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
35
Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in
the breaking of the bread.

This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to Thee, O Christ.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
In Our Prayers: Alan Vaage, Margaret Slater, Don Bomback, Pastor Bugbee, Shahida
Luman, Vivian Amison, Lois Borger, and Ruth Wagner.
An Official Visit from our District President: Beautiful Savior has been identified by
our seminary in Edmonton as a strong place for a vicar to learn and be shaped for the
Office of the Holy Ministry. They have inquired if we might consider getting involved
with the training and development of future pastors. Knowing little about what that
would mean, the Board of Elders have asked President Tom Prachar to visit our
congregation and give an introduction to the topic. Following today’s service, President
Prachar will provide a preliminary look at the aim, purpose and value of training future
pastors. He has prepared a summary handout for us in advance of his visit which you
should be able to find in your mailbox. Take a look, and bring any questions you might
have.
Pastor Bugbee Called to Windsor: First Lutheran Church and School, our "mother
church" in downtown Windsor, ON, called Pastor Bugbee to come and serve them in
early 2018 after he concludes his work as President of Lutheran Church-Canada. This
call, issued soon after his announcement that he would not stand for an additional term
in LCC, was a surprise, since they would have to wait for many months even if he were
moved to accept. Please hold this matter and his decision in your prayers. He also
wants to thank our member for their prayer support and kindness as he recovers from
his fall and surgery in March.
Spring Cleaning reschedule: The cleaning bee has been rescheduled for Saturday May
6th from 9 am to noon. Both men and women are needed!
Reformation Celebration Service at Good Shepherd on Sunday, May 7th, at 3:00 p.m.,
with a wonderful supper to follow. Tickets are limited and we ask that your members call
our Office at 204-222-0245 to reserve tickets for the supper, which will be placed in an
envelope and handed out to you as you arrive at the church. Our guest speaker is Rev.
Dr. John Stephenson from our St. Catharines seminary. He will be informing us about the
effects of the Reformation during Luther's day as well as how the Reformation continues
to impact us today. We look forward to seeing all of you to celebrate this life changing
event in the history of the Church and the world. In Christ's service and love, Rev. Harold
Borchardt.
Red River Circuit Choir for Reformation service at Good Shepherd: For anyone
interested, there is one practice left, this afternoon at 2 pm at Church of the Good
Shepherd, 401 Kildare Ave. West. These rehearsals are in preparation for the service on
May 7th.
Siloam Mission – a signup sheet for May 20th is posted at the back of the church.
LWML: Soccer Balls for Canadian Lutheran World Relief - the LWML is collecting soccer
balls for our missions. They must be able to deflate for shipping. A box for the balls will
be under the LWML table. Many children can play with one Soccer ball - what a great
investment!
At our May 2 meeting we will be starting at 6:30 pm and at 7:00 we will be showing the
movie "Martin Luther". The movie is approximately 2 hours. Everyone is welcome.
