A READING FROM THE BOOK OF CONCORD
CONFESSION AND SATISFACTION
The adversaries say that satisfactions benefit by the outward work in such a way that, even
though they are done in mortal sin, they still deliver from the punishments. When the
passage of Paul is cited against us, "But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be
judged [by the Lord]" (1 Corinthians 11:31), "to judge" should be understood to include
all of repentance and required fruit, not works that are not required. Our adversaries pay
the penalty for hating grammar. They understand "to judge" to equal making a pilgrimage
dressed in armor, or similar works. "To judge" means all of repentance; it means to
condemn sins. This condemnation truly happens in contrition and the change of life. Isaiah
1:16-19 teaches, "Cease to do evil, learn to do good.… Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow.… If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of
the land." Neither should a most important meaning be transferred from all of repentance,
and from works required or commanded by God, to the works of human traditions.
Common evils are reduced by our repentance and by the true fruit of repentance, by good
works completed from faith. Here belongs the example of the Ninevites (Jonah 3:10), who
by their repentance (all of repentance) were reconciled to God and received the favor that
their city was not destroyed.
A Stewardship Moment
Born of the cross, Christian love does not
seek something good to enjoy;
rather, it seeks to provide for those in need.
“ . . . remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said,
‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’” (Acts 20:35).
This bulletin contains the parts of the service that change each week, which are known as the “propers”.

Old Testament Reading
Jonah 3:1–5, 10
1
Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2“Arise, go to
Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” 3So Jonah
arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an
exceedingly great city, three days’ journey in breadth. 4Jonah began to go into the city,
going a day’s journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be
overthrown!” 5And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put
on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
10
When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of
the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
A This is the Word of the Lord.
C Thanks be to God.
Gradual
Ps. 117:1–2a; 96:8
Praise the LORD, all | nations!*
Extol him, all | peoples!
For great is his steadfast | love toward us,*
and the faithfulness of the LORD endures for- | ever.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory | due his name;*
bring an offering, and come in- | to his courts!
Epistle
29
1 Corinthians 7:29–31
This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time has grown very short. From now
on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, 30and those who mourn as
though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not
rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods, 31and those who deal with
the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is
passing away.
A This is the Word of the Lord.
C Thanks be to God.

C Glory to You, O Lord.
14
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of
God, 15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and
believe in the gospel.”
16
Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of
Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17And Jesus said to them,
“Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” 18And immediately they left
their nets and followed him. 19And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of
Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20And
immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the
hired servants and followed him.
P This is the Gospel of the Lord.
C Praise to You, O Christ.

It pleased the Lord to call Barbara Gobert to Himself on Saturday, January 17. She died
after a very long illness in Kitchener-Waterloo, On. Her funeral plans have not been announced,
but will be shared with our congregation when finalized. Jesus said, “As I live, you shall live
also” (John 14:19). God impress that promise deeply on all who feel sorrow at Barbara’s death.

will take turns leading the class.

prepared to ask those hard questions you have in your heart and mind, for this class is going to be
gritty.
