Today’s Collect reflects the importance of each of us as managers and stewards for Christ, that we might prepare the world for His second coming, and by the way, for the end of our time here on earth. In the Epistle Paul points out man’s judgment of us is nothing compared to that of God. God knows our heart, soul and mind much better than we do. In the Gospel, Jesus tells Paul tells John’s disciples that He is the One. Just as is almost always the case, the propers point of the need for action, not just diction. I found this sermon particularly inspiring and hope you find it useful.
There are always a lot of people who need your prayer, it is likely there never will be a time here on earth when that is not true. Please take a little time, start with Ditte, Shamu, Tricia, Sunghyun, Myeongsu Kim, Laurie and work out from there.
Next Sunday is the final Sunday in Advent, it is also Christmas Eve, Monday will be Christmas. A lot of people will be traveling for the long weekend to see friends and family. Please keep them in your prayers and perhaps more so the people who have no place to travel to. Let the Holy Ghost guide you.
Godspeed,
