Sunday's sermon: Jesus Christ Was Raised for Our Justification https://www.scottlapierre.org/raised-to-life-for-our-justification/
Romans 4:25 says, “[Jesus Christ] was delivered up for our trespasses and raised to life for our justification.” The first half looks back to Good Friday when Jesus died for our sins. The second half moves to Easter Sunday. This is what we’re celebrating today: Jesus being resurrected for our justification. Justified means, “Declared righteous.” What does this have to do with Jesus’s resurrection? Jesus is our Substitute. He died in our place and took the punishment we deserve. If He stayed dead that would mean He was a sinner and unable to save us. But his resurrection reveals he is our perfect substitute who could die in our place and take the punishment we deserve.

My father, John, passed away from Alzheimer’s, as did his father, Arnold. Months ago, I learned that my uncle has Alzheimer’s, and today I learned that my aunt does too. The message fittingly read: “This disease is so prevalent on the LaPierre side of the family,” and then, because of the years with my dad, “Scott, if you have any words of advice or things to help us, we would appreciate it.”
As I prepared the advice, it turned out to be much longer than I anticipated. I thought that if it could help the family members I share with, I should put it on my blog to hopefully help others who have to walk through this disease with a loved one. So here are the seven pieces of advice I have for loved ones with Alzheimer’s.
