2nd Sunday after Easter
(Misericordias Domini)
I am the good shepherd. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. (John 10:11.27-28)
Ich bin der gute Hirte. Meine Schafe hören meine Stimme, und ich kenne sie und sie folgen mir; und ich gebe ihnen das ewige Leben. (Joh 10, 11.27.28)

Evangelium
Gospel Reading
John 10:11-16
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

Glaubensbekenntnis
Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
Predigt
Sermon
1. Petrus 2,21b-25
Denn dazu seid ihr berufen, da auch Christus gelitten hat für euch und euch ein Vorbild hinterlassen, dass ihr sollt nachfolgen seinen Fußstapfen; er, der keine Sünde getan hat und in dessen Mund sich kein Betrug fand; der, als er geschmäht wurde, die Schmähung nicht erwiderte, nicht drohte, als er litt, es aber dem anheimstellte, der gerecht richtet; der unsre Sünden selbst hinaufgetragen hat an seinem Leibe auf das Holz, damit wir, den Sünden abgestorben, der Gerechtigkeit leben. Durch seine Wunden seid ihr heil geworden. Denn ihr wart wie irrende Schafe; aber ihr seid nun umgekehrt zu dem Hirten und Bischof eurer Seelen.
1 Peter 2:21-25
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.” When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Fürbitten
Prayer of Intercession
Lord, we ask for the courage of the Good Shepherd,
who lays down his life for his sheep.
We pray for those prepared to suffer
and even to die for what they believe in.
We pray for those whose lives and rights are sacrificed
in the name of power and greed.
We pray for those who risk themselves
by accompanying others along paths of suffering,
through valleys of fear and despair.
Lord, we ask for the compassion of the Good Shepherd
who leads his sheep to safe pasture.
We pray for those who work
to feed and shelter and educate the poor peoples of our world.
We pray for those skilled at nursing and healing those who are suffering or ill in body, mind or spirit.
We pray for those who care for the victims of our society,
those unable to cope with life, the neglected, the abused.
Lord, we ask for the love of the Good Shepherd
who knows his sheep by name.
We pray for our church, for ministers and office bearers,
for preachers and teachers and all engaged in pastoral care.
We pray for those we know,
relatives or friends who are facing difficult times.
We pray for ourselves
that we might hear the call from our Good Shepherd
and follow his way of love.
We make all our prayers in Christ’s name.
Vater unser im Himmel,
geheiligt werde Dein Name.
Dein Reich komme.
Dein Wille geschehe,
wie im Himmel, so auf Erden.
Unser tägliches Brot gib uns heute.
Und vergib uns unsere Schuld,
wie auch wir vergeben unsern Schuldigern.
Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung,
sondern erlöse uns von dem Bösen.
Denn dein ist das Reich und die Kraft
und die Herrlichkeit in Ewigkeit.
Amen.
Lied: Wunderbarer Hirt
