Sermon November 10 2019 — Twenty-Second Sunday after Pentecost
Description
Come Lord Jesus!
AS WE GATHER
Only a few Israelites in Moses’ time remembered the promises God made to Abraham, Isaac , and Jacob. In the meantime, they were languishing in their servitude. But God had plans for their freedom; He would take them to a land of milk and honey.
The Church after Jesus’ ascension was impatiently awaiting His return. In the meantime, they had to deal with a pagan society and even false teachings within their group.
But our Lord’s promise to return is sure, validated by His resurrection from the dead. For those who have gone before us, the meantime is over; they live to God in eternity. In the meantime, that sure promise of gracious blessings in eternity and our Lord’s presence with us now carry us through to the day when we join them around the throne.
Meanwhile, today is another day on which to join the psalmist and praise the name of the Lord.
