Message for this week

As we gather for worship this Sunday the readings direct our attention to the judgment. “The day is coming,” Malachi writes.  In the Gospel lesson, intertwining prophecy concerning the destruction of Jerusalem with the end of time, Jesus warns of the persecution and difficulty his people will face.  But all is not threat and warning.  We also have clear instruction concerning how we should live in this time before the end, being diligent in hearing God’s word; avoiding idleness or arrogance.  Most importantly, we have the assurance that God will be with us as the day approaches, and that the day of judgment will be a day of deliverance for all who fear his name.  May the Lord keep us faithful to that day.
