Our theme for this academic year comes from John 16:33!!
TAKE HEART 💛💙
A note about this verse from President Friedrich: “When Jesus says “take heart,” He calls His disciples and us to take courage. This is not empty courage, but courage rooted in Jesus’ death and resurrection for us. We have hope because Jesus is victorious over sin, death, and the trials we face in this world. Jesus doesn’t promise a life free from trouble. But in spite of whatever we face, Jesus is already victorious over sin, death, and the devil. He gives us the Holy Spirit who creates and sustains our faith. He is present in Word and Sacrament. He will come again and usher in the new heaven and new Earth. And so we take heart!”
