Matthew the Tax Collector—Matthew 9:9-13 (June 26, 2026)

Matthew 9:9–13 (NKJV)9 As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him.10 Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”12 When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic—Matthew 9:1-8 (June 25, 2026)

The First Commandment is not chiefly about the gods we refuse to build, but about the trust of the heart: whatever it clings to in the day of trouble is its god. Jerusalem clung to its walls and its waters and never looked to the Maker, and when God called it to mourning it answered with a feast and the creed of the hopeless — eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. To such hardened impenitence the Law can only speak its terror: no atonement, even to death. Yet atonement is precisely the word the Gospel speaks, for the Maker we would not look to was numbered among the slain outside the wall, and His blood purges the sin no ox or sheep could cover. So the fatalist’s table is overturned at the altar, where we eat and drink not because tomorrow we die but because He died that we might live.

"Cursed on the tree so the barren tree could live." Friday of Trinity 3 (observed) 2026

A fig tree in full leaf promises fruit and has none. Jesus curses it, then walks into a temple just as green — crowded, busy, alive to the eye — and finds the same thing: a house of prayer turned into a market, all show and no figs. James names it a third time: a church that seats the rich man in the good place and the poor man at the footstool. Leaves without fruit. Dead faith — the kind the demons have, who believe and tremble.But the cure is not "grow your figs or be cursed too" — that is only the curse again. The Lord of glory is hanged on a tree and made a curse in the barren tree's place. He becomes the poor man in the filthy clothes so the poor man can be seated in glory; He becomes Himself the new house of prayer for all nations, where the outsider is welcomed and fed and never sent to the footstool. Living faith receives Him — and the figs follow, not to be saved, but because the tree is finally alive.Texts: Mark 11:11–23 and James 2:1–9. Preached at St. John Ev. Lutheran Church and School, Sherman Center — Random Lake, Wisconsin.
