SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, October 2, 2022
Dear Friends in Christ –
In J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Sam wakes up having been rescued from hellish fires on the Mount of Doom. He recognizes his rescuer, Gandalf, and says, “I thought you were dead. But then I thought I was dead. Is everything sad going to become untrue?”
The great narrative of God’s love, the Bible says, is what Jesus is essentially going to do in the end. Every tear will be wiped.
How curious it is that the first time he reveals his true self, the one who will render all that is sad in the fallen world to be untrue, is at a wedding party. No one dying, no miraculous healing, just saving a couple beginning their life together from a shameful start, and peering into the future to the moment where he will drink from a bitter cup – saving us.
Join us Sunday as we engage God’s word and share the feast paid for and prepared by Jesus. There’s plenty. Invite your friends and someone whom you may not have seen around the halls in a while. I love a wedding!
