Sermon for the Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity
Sep 25, 2022 • Rev. Christopher Antonetti
Jesus tells us in the gospel lesson today, “Do not worry.” If you notice, there is no threat of punishment here for worrying. Worry is the punishment in itself. Jesus is showing us that life in Him grants a relief from worry. Whatever worry Christians have is not due to the new life we have received in baptism. It is holding on to that secondary trust – it is putting something else above God that we fear, love, and trust in above all things.
