  1. Easter Latin Names What do they have to do with me?

  2. “The mercy of the Lord” Misericordias Domini – Third Sunday of Easter

  3. Progression of the Easter Season • The season emerges slowly and systematically, in a way consistent with real human emotions. First we experience awe and shock. Then humbly recognize our dependence on God by reference to newborn infants. We observe that the Resurrection is a global event and that his mercy is universal. Then we shout. We sing. And then we are driven to share the news with the world. 

  4. Introduction • Psalm 33:5b, 6a • Misericordias Domini means “the mercy of the Lord.” • Let’s look at the translations • Notice anything about the different translations? • Goodness (KJV) vs unfailing love (NIV’s, HCSB) vs steadfast love (ESV)

  5. John 21:1-14 • This gospel reading is the miraculous catch of fish on the Sea of Galilee. Can you see any connection between this introit and the appointed gospel? • In the Lord’s mercy, he keeps appearing to his disciples after the resurrection, doing miracles, showing he has truly arisen; this will get them ready for their task after he ascends

  6. Background • Psalm 33 describes the protection of God’s people from peril. Psalm 33 is part of Book 1 of the Psalms. These psalms are mainly written by David and deal with the suffering and triumphs in his life.

  7. Psalm 33:5 • Which is it: mercy, goodness, unfailing love, or steadfast love? • Heb. Chesed “constant, firm love” Hebword for Gkword “grace” • What is the unfailing love of the Lord? • That he will remain constant to his love for us, he will not fail

  8. Psalm 33:5 • How is the earth full of this love? • Everything on earth is there because of God’s love • Why is this a good reminder for our lives? • All God has given us is because of his love

  9. Psalm 33:6 • What other part of Scripture does this verse remind you of? • Gen 1; Ps 74 • How were the heavens made? • By God’s word

  10. Psalm 33:6 • What does that mean? • Gen 1:3 “And God said …” • Compare the first part of this verse to the second, what are the similar phrases? • Chiasis, crisscrossed phrases • By the word … heavens • Starry hosts … By the breath • Look at the quote

  11. Conclusion • Why would these verses be fitting for a Sunday of Easter? • Reminder of the Lord’s mercy, even in creation • These verses show God’s goodness, when would that be a good reminder in our lives? • When things do not always look good • These verses show God’s power, when would that be a good reminder in our lives? • When things do not always look powerful

  12. Progression of the Easter Season • The season emerges slowly and systematically, in a way consistent with real human emotions. First we experience awe and shock.
