FLHS will bill students' accounts for these courses after they begin.

DEVOTIONS
Today’s Reading: Mark 1:29-45
Daily Lectionary: Genesis 2:4-25; Mark 1:29-45
“That evening at sundown they brought to Him all who were sick or oppressed by demons.” (Mark 1:32)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Why did they wait until evening to bring people to Jesus? Turns out, back in verse 21, we find out it was the Sabbath Day until the sun went down. And even though Jesus had already driven out a demon in the synagogue, and healed Peter’s mother-in-law’s fever on the Sabbath, they were worried that getting healed on the Sabbath might count as work and that would get them in trouble.
Remember the Sabbath Day by keeping it holy. It’s the Third Commandment. But our Sabbath rest doesn’t come from inactivity. Our Sabbath rest is Jesus. Our Lord doesn’t stop taking care of our needs, just because it’s between Friday Sundown and Saturday sundown.
And our greatest needs are the forgiveness of our sins, the covering of our shame, the destruction of death, and the conquering of the devil. Jesus keeps the Sabbath in our place by doing that work. On Good Friday (Thursday sundown to Friday sundown), Jesus was betrayed and arrested and denied and had false witness bore about Him. On Good Friday, Jesus was beaten and whipped and mocked, and sentenced to death. On Good Friday, Jesus was nailed to a cross, lifted up, suffered, and died. On Good Friday, Jesus was taken down, placed in a tomb, and had the opening closed.
All the work of Good Friday Jesus did for you. He did it to heal you. To drive away your demons. To forgive you. To take away your shame. To destroy death. To conquer the devil forever. And from that work, He rested. On the Sabbath, from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, to Sunday before the break of dawn, Jesus rested in that tomb. Jesus rested in death. And then, He got up in the morning to start the week anew. To start the week with your salvation.
Our rest isn’t found in inactivity. Our rest is found in Jesus.
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down thy head upon My breast.” I came to Jesus as I was, so weary worn and sad; I found in Him a resting place, and He has made me glad. (LSB 699:1)
