Christ’s Body and Blood

THE NINETEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
Whenever we come together for the Lord’s Supper, we anticipate the eternal worship of heaven, which the Bible compares to a wedding feast. The Sacrament is a foretaste of the feast to come. God invited His people through the prophets. The description of that Meal includes seeing God face-to-face. In Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus again extends the invitation through His parable, but He notes the varying responses it receives. Paul leads us to respond with rejoicing. Knowing that the eternal feast is ready, we may be content in all circumstances. Luther teaches us to revere the real presence of Christ in the Sacrament which we celebrate.
God Bless see you on Sunday, Pastor Phil
