What if God’s commands aren’t a ladder to earn His love, but a lamp for those He has already saved? In this Third Sunday after Pentecost sermon (Proper 6 A) from Exodus 19:2–8, we explore the breathtaking truth that redemption comes before the Law. Israel stood at Sinai as God’s already-redeemed people—carried on eagles’ wings—before a single commandment was given. Yet even the redeemed fail. The golden calf proves it. So where does that leave us?
Enter Jesus Christ: the perfect covenant-keeper who fulfills every “if” of Sinai, dies for the ungodly, and gives His righteousness away freely. Through Baptism, you become a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a treasured possession—not by your obedience, but by His. The Law’s third use now guides, not condemns. It shapes a life of compassion, prayer, and witness, just as Jesus sent His disciples to give freely because they received freely.
Come to the Lord’s Table. Not because you are worthy, but because He is. The new covenant in His blood is finished—yours by grace through faith.
