This column represents the thoughts and opinions of The Rev. Carl Roth. This is not the opinion of the Elgin Courier. Needs the disclaimer Jesus said, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me” (John 14:23-24). As we celebrate the Church festival of Pentecost this coming Sunday, Jesus teaches that the Spirit works through Word and Sacraments in the Church to lead us to love Jesus and His Word.
