ABOUT THE TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
Theme: The Bride Is Led Home
– highlighting the Scriptures for the week –
he prophet Amos warns those who desire the “day of the LORD,” for it will not be pleasant. (Amos) In contrasting light with darkness, Amos reminds his listeners (readers) of their sinful condition that pervades the entire world. And yet, God will deliver His chosen from the darkness of this world (1 Thessalonians). At Christ’s return those who have already fallen asleep in faith will rise first from the dead to meet Him in the air. The suddenness of His return calls all to keep watch so that we are not sleeping when the Bridegroom arrives. (Matthew) Those who fail to keep watch are excluded from the marriage feast. Those who are faithful to the end (the Bride, Christ’s Church) will experience everlasting joys.
