Fourth Sunday in Lent (Laetare)Sunday, March 19, 20239:00 a.m.Order of Worship: Divine Service - Setting Three, LSB, p. 184Hymn of Invocation: 642Hymn of the Day: 743Distribution Hymns: 566, 625, 420Closing Hymn: 774Scripture Lessons:Exodus 16:2-21 or Isaiah 49:8-13Galatians 4:21-31 or Acts 2:41-47John 6:1-15
The Lord Feeds His PeopleThe Lord provided bread from heaven for His people in the wilderness (Ex. 16:2-21). Now He who is Himself the living bread from heaven miraculously provides bread for the five thousand (John 6:1-15). This takes place near the time of the Passover, after a great multitude had followed Jesus across the sea, and when He went up on a mountain.Seen in this way, Jesus is our new and greater Moses, who releases us from the bondage of Mount Sinai and makes us free children of the promise (Gal. 4:21-31). Five loaves become twelve baskets that is, the five books of Moses find their goal and fulfillment in Christ, whose people continue steadfastly in the doctrine and fellowship of the twelve apostles, and in the breaking and receiving of the bread of life, which is the body of Christ together with His precious blood, and in the prayers (Acts 2:41-47). So it is that God's people "shall not hunger or thirst" (Is. 49:8-13). For He abundantly provides for us in both body and soul.
