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

  2. “Rejoice” Jubilate – Fourth 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 66:1-2. • Jubilatemeans “rejoice.” • Let’s look at the translations • Notice anything about the different translations? • Honor (KJV) vs glory (others); praise glorious (KJV, NIV’s, HCSB) vs glorious praise (ESV)

  5. Introduction • This Sunday is also called “Good Shepherd Sunday,” because every year, the gospel is taken from John 10 where Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd.

  6. Background • Remember the other two “Rejoice” Sundays? (Hint: Advent and Lent) • Advent 3 (pink candle) and Lent 4 (pink rose) • Do you have any idea why these three Sundays in the church year would be “Rejoice” Sundays? • Three very joyous times in the Church year

  7. John 10:22-30 • This is the appointed gospel for this Sunday. Can you see any connection between this introit and the appointed gospel? • Because no one can snatch us out of God’s hand, we can (and should) rejoice and give him praise

  8. Background • Psalm 66 is a song of praise for the amazing ways that God delivers his people. Psalm 66 is part of Book 2 of the Psalms. These psalms deal with mainly the trials and triumphs in God’s people.

  9. Psalms Outline • Book 1: Psalms 1-41: Suffering and Triumph in David’s Life • Book 2: Psalms 42-72: Trials and Triumphs of the Godly • Book 3: Psalms 73-89: A Concern for Israel and the Temple • Book 4: Psalms 90-106: Praise and Thanksgiving to God • Book 5: Psalms 107-150: Praise and Thanksgiving to God

  10. Psalm 66:1-2 • What are the different verbs used here to show giving praise to God? • Shout for joy; sing; give him praise • Why do you think there would be so many different verbs used in just these two verses? • Show it’s importance and the many different ways to give him praise

  11. Psalm 66:1 • “Shout for joy,” think rejoicing, cheering, shouting in triumph, the things you would do if your favorite team won a big game. • In the context of Easter, why would “all the earth” (e.g. people, plants, animals) be told to “shout for joy to God”? (cf. Romans 8:18-22)

  12. Romans 8:18-22 • 18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

  13. Romans 8:18-22 • 18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

  14. Psalm 66:1 • In the context of Easter, why would “all the earth” (e.g. people, plants, animals) be told to “shout for joy to God”? (cf. Romans 8:18-22) • Creation too was subjected to sin, now with the children of God being revealed, they also look forward to being freed from sin

  15. Psalm 66:2 • “Sing,” think praise or sing along to a musical instrument. This is similar to how we sing the hymns. • What is the “glory of his name”? • The glory that comes with everything he has revealed about himself (his name)

  16. Psalm 66:2 • “Make his praise glorious.” A literal translation is “Set glory his praise.” Glory or praise could be the direct object. Is there a difference if you make one or the other the direct object? • Not really, you get the same idea • Look at the quote

  17. Conclusion • How does this introit fit into the Easter season? • We rejoice because of what God has accomplished at Easter • How is this introit a good reminder for our entire lives? • Let the joy of Easter remain our constant joy

  18. 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.
