Lesson Summaries ---------------------------------------------------------------------Joshua 24: 1-3a, 14-25 Karen E. Julia Lockwood The death of Jesus Christ is for us nothing if we have not died with him; the resurrection of our Lord is for us nothing is we have not been raised with him. Emil Brunner (1889-1966), I Believe in the Living God; Sermons on the Apostles’ Creed Having lead the People of God into the Promised Land, and having guided them through all the struggles that followed their conquest and settlement fo that region, Joshua now challenges them to decide which God or gods they will serve. He declares that he and his family will serve no one other than the God who has rescued and preserved them through all their trials. 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 St. Paul writes to the Christians in Thessalonica to give them hope for those who have already died while waiting for the return of Jesus. He tells them that on the Day of the Lord, that day when Christ will come again, they too will rise with those who are still alive, to live forever with the Lord. St. Matthew 25: 1-13 Jesus tells of a parable about the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven, which he compares to the sudden arrival of a bridegroom. Those wise maidens, who had prepared by ensuring that they had enough oil for their lamps, were ready for his arrival, while the foolish ones, who had not prepared, were absent and unable to enter the marriage feast.
