Nov. 18, 2018 The 26th Sunday after Pentecost
As
the Church Year is approaching its close, we turn our focus to the last things.
The very last thing that we confess in the Apostles’ Creed is that we believe
in the life everlasting. In Revelation, John describes the heavenly city of God
and tells us that the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Brilliant brightness has always been associated with the seeing of God, from
the time when Moses had to veil his face because it reflected the dazzling
presence of the almighty Lord. As we come into His presence for worship, we
have a partial sense of that glory as we await that time beyond time, when we shall
experience it fully in the life everlasting in His heavenly kingdom.
Daniel 12:1-3 Hebrews 10:11-25 st Mark 13:1-13
