April 24 – Second Sunday of Easter

The Divine Service for the Second Sunday of Easter (April 24, 2022)

“The Keys to Heaven and Hell” – John 20:19-31

Jesus gives the disciples the Keys to the Kingdom. The authority to forgive or retain sins. The Church still has this blessed gift and authority and responsibility. It can be an intimidating thing to say to someone, “I forgive you”, but by God’s grace, we can and do. Thankfully, Jesus has kept another set of keys for Himself – the keys to Death and Hades (Hell). Since He has conquered the devil with His cross and resurrection, we can go as Jesus sends us to announce the grace of God in Christ and the forgiveness of all sins. Jesus has freed us all!
